Advanced Member stusutcliffe Posted October 30, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Nice work Shawn! I've got a question, When you "baked" that texture....I thought cool, I've never even seen that in Cararra before. I will check it out,but I could not find it.So I paused your vid...would I be correct in saying that "bake" was a plugin? I noticed you had "Anything Grooves" was it that? tell me, tell me, tell me! I would like to see that finished, I will keep an eye on your blog/blogs! ps I know you are only messing about with this Jet fighter, but it would probably have CSK rivets for smoother airflow ..But then you would not see them would you.....and snap head rivets are cool on stuff are they not!. ( I used to rivet aircraft for a living,many years ago, that's why I am being pedantic!...in a jokey way!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Shawn Driscoll Posted October 30, 2012 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I used the Baker plugin for Carrara 5.1 Pro. It's from Inagoni. I don't know if the latest Carrara has that plugin included by now. I used the tile pattern function shader that comes with Carrara. And the rivets were added using the Enhance:C plugin from Digital Carvers Guild. My modeling style is to exaggerate things. Then tone things down if I want more realism. The finished Rampart was used for a 2013 calendar available next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member stusutcliffe Posted October 30, 2012 Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 It is not included 8.1. I dont really buy many plugins ,though Sparrowhawke has some nice free ones. I have not checked out Inagoni or DCG for ages ! I think i will mosey on over there and fritter away some time,if not cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor digman Posted October 30, 2012 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Nice work you are doing on your aircraft and the tutorial... I have Version 5.1Pro as well. The baker plug-in is a great tool and I noticed it right away in your video . It great for making textures that can be use as shaders for 3DCoat as well. I been thinking about upgrading to version 8 but blender is meeting my needs at the present time. Carrara 5 running under wine worked on my linux machine but refuses to render since I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04. I do have an older windows computer that has Carrara 5 so I am not out of luck. Carrara, I have always enjoyed using it and still love it's renderer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
