The Snow Ball T173 -team is looking for your ideas and comments. Join and show your support for Snow Ball T173.  Character animationI am currently working to figure out character animation on simplified Stick figures. When that project is done I might be mature enough to figure out this one. I use Blender. http://www.wreckamovie.com/stickwreck I watched the exterior animation you had done. Googling revealed that Carrara has a graph editor, blenders equivalent to the IPO curve editor, using bezier curves makes it easy to have smooth motion, it will help you get a less jerky motion. http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:Manual/Animation/Basic/Tools/Ipo_Curves_and_Keyframes The biggest advantage with open source software is that there are so many tutorials and documentation freely available. When I searched for Graph tutorials for Carrara I didn't find anything useful, except possibly a DVD with tutorials that cost money... Because of this it is a lot easier to learn advanced software if it's open source. |

When the Lazy Sue is exported as a obj all the hinged points go away on the model, as well as its skins.

I can see if any of the other export options might work. (3DS)
I should get Blender again and see what I can do with it. (Export to and use.)
Lee: Peter has a very good point. I think this fact alone would make it worth for you to learn Blender.
There also exist a free program called Wings 3d. Since it's open source I don't doubt that there will be interoperability sooner or later.
Always best if we can go with open source & free tools like Blender, then the community that has access to the tools is so much bigger.
Nice. Can Carrara export to a format Blender can import? I think I could do some nice things with that space ship.
Thanks for your interest, we can see what we can get into.
I got blender and tried using and had trouble. Learning curve. I still had it with Carrara and it would have been cheaper to have gone with blender.
Believe it or not I found a number of free tuturials on youtube for Carrara and Daz has a few on there site too.
I'll look into the graph editor.
