maximkovalenkoI have seen the future my friends...
The future is Carrara 5
I managed to nab some time on a computer that had it for a while this morning and did some test runs of some things...The results are staggering to say the least.
I used my reference character (Julia Wells) because f all the custom texture work and such that went into creating her and I find the results to be absolutely incredible.
What you are looking at behind the cut is a straight import into Carrara of the just the basic Poser file...for image quality I cranked the shit out of everything.
My friends, I am absolutely astonished at just how good a job it does. For the graphic/computer geeks out there, C5 does multithread support for rendering too, plus you can set up rendering nodes like you can with Bryce foir a home grown render farm.
After seeing the results of this, I have to honestly say that I think Bryce is finished.

Date: 2006-04-07 05:38 pm (UTC)However, there are some caveats to this...
1. YOu can configure your render in a lot more detail (options, depth of field) and the like than Bryce allows you.
2. The other thing is that C5 allows you to truly use a hyperthreaded processor like it was meant to be used (aka as a dual core). That can be turned on and off. Heat will be an issue, I have already had one processor shut down due to overheating.
C5 isn't as simple to use as Bryce...the learning curve seems to be a little bit steeper...(I'm mainly using it as a render engine right now)
In the end I guess my answer is...it can be worth it, if you are willing to take the time and effort to do it.
