Animations, as well as Graphic Novels, are welcome in the Challenge !
We want Dart and Rosie !
ChickenMan strikes again, love his apprentice !
Tough pub that one ! Excellent render !!
nah we only need the distribution and terrain height maps, we have everything else already, I was almost tempted to buy it just so I could reproduce everything in Carrara for comparison and render animated versions!
I have ultrascatter and its good as far as DAZ studio goes but I can still do better in Carrara.
what would be nice is some new Carrara scenes from him but sadly that's not where the money is, I recall encouraging him to do DAZ studio stuff too so cannot really complain.
Bunyip - you're on fire with all those renders - awesome! Thanks for the explanations.
Everyone's work looks great.
I got kind of computer fatigue the past few weeks so haven't done much Carrara-ing. Will try to get my act together here.
What!!??
Your renders are gorgeous! Please keep sharing Dart and Rosie with us.
HA HA! Wonderful in its absurdity. The eggman expression was the perfect touch.
Was thinking about setting up the Ultra Scenery scenes in DAZ Studio, then using Instances to Objects and saving the scene as a DUF so it could be opened in Carrara. Tried using Instances to Objects on one of Howie's DAZ Studio scenes and got warnings about the size of the file. If I can get it on one of the sales will think about it then.
Thanks ! Was trying to do a render a day while using the Toon parts of my library, have slowed down a bit. Was worried that I might scare people off the Challenge.
Definately nice work, hopefully more people will join in the fun !
Computer fatigue is a worry for everyone, trust you get your Carrara mojo back soon !!!
Always good to see what adventures they are up to !
Stezza's offerings help the day go by !!!
you can try proxies unlike instances they can be placeholders Carrara can actually recognise,
maybe some tiny one poly planes, can even do sets for each plant group and export reimport them as objects to replicate on
Converting Mossy Hollow - https://www.daz3d.com/mossy-hollow-botanica
LOL I started to try Alessandro's Lost World
just no
one needs a Carrara replicator solution
Very heavy on the memory !!!
thanks for all the comments
today's render as we look like getting the 2nd wave ~
I modeled everything in Carrara except for Gosha which I used so I could stick the cricket head on lol..
What's the amazing filter do you use on your illustrations: here and on your nice Hagar's render?

Was interested in seeing what difficulties arose from using a DAZ Studio scene that is populated with Instances converted for use in Carrara. In my post above referencing Mossy Hollow the original conversion would have been far too big for my system.
I removed all of the Moss & Weeds to make it more user friendly. So had all the ferns, palms, and trees in the conversion, it still took a while and when completed was 341MB in size.
Loaded the saved DUF into Carrara, 5 to 6 hours later it was ready to use.
Size wise was slowing down my actions in Carrara.
Loaded a figure into Carrara to pose, each step took over a minute to do.
Rendering was very slow for first of all a mini test render in the Assembly room, then for an 800 pixel width size image in the render room, which took 17 minutes. Lighting was a simple single light, nothing fancy.
In retrospect a Carrara or Bryce terrain, populated with plants using a Surface Replicator would have been far more productive.
WIP - Scene. Used a Surface Replicator to add some grass.

Bunyip, your stylized works are amazing! Sometimes I want to join the fun, but can't imagine what to do.
Great work everyone.
Sorry for continuing to be absent. My good machine has been tied up with something that is taking way longer than I intended. Here is a quickie that I'm not sure came out the way I intended. It is supposed to be variant on tough urban wisecracking woman confronted with a boorish man hitting on her, but the man might look more like a beggar. The final combines the outline from the coverage pass, the shadow pass and a GMIC filter black and white. One panel piece.
_And perhaps Change the Boor-Man hand pose from palm-up to side, _could give less beggar look _ thanx
_ + 1 _always liked Hägar the Horrible _
thanks Veronika & Bunyip, it's a mixture of PanosFX pop art filter and my own layer blending styles in PSE2020
+1 again on that
