Jack-O-Lantern for halloween tutorial
Free stuff on sharecg for modeling a pumpkin Jack-o-lantern in Carrara (this one done in Carrara 8).
A quick tutorial on how to make a pumpkin Jack-O-Lantern in Carrara 8 Pro. Basic Modeling skills will be needed. Introduction to UV tool use and shaders slightly discussed. It's a holiday occassioned fun thing to do for fun.
Also, a link for three alpha masks, so one can change the look of the jack-o-lantern.
