***Carrra Fantasy Vilage Terrain & Props***
I initially posted this topic in the Carrara Discussion forum back on May 27th. I'm posting it here because there may be some users here that have Carrara, but don't use it much or frequent the Carrara forum. If the mods feel this is spamming please feel free to remove this topic.
I'm making available a fantasy village environment.
The file is now available at my ShareCG account:
http://www.ShareCG.com/v/69697/view/5/3D-Model/Fantasy-Village-terrain
You can also DL it directly from my DropBox public folder (no account required):

I have included proxy buildings which are suggested locations for any buildings you wish to place in the scene. There are no buildings included! There are illustrated instructions on how to use the proxy buildings to easily place your own buildings in the Read-Me file.
The buildings I used in my scene renders are available for free. They were made by Dryjack and are available for free from his ShareCG account:

I've included a very detailed manual for the scene which explains some ways to optimize the scene as well as explanations on how certain scene features work. Please take a peek at it.
There's also a folder with light presets and one with objects that I made for the scene. Some don't load by default, but they're nice to have anyway!
The scene consists of the terrain with custom shader, two ocean primitives with custom shader, a dam group, cattails, Renaissance style tournament ground suitable for jousting, crumbled stone fenceing, custom RSE and volumetric cloud, three customized trees with custom shaders that use Carrara's own leaf shapes (no need to install leaves)!
Plus to help with building placement, I've included proxy buildings composed of simple primitives. Just drag whatever buildings you want from the Browser and drop them onto one of the building proxies to load your building in that spot. Some adjustment may be required.
The images posted contain no postwork for levels or color adjustment. I did paint out a poke through in the Jousting image, but that's it. No GI. Just my sunlight, custom light dome and a light to simulate reflected ground light.
