Hi, I am new to Carrara and I am looking for a tutorial to apply the Real Fur add on as well as animate the Millennium Cat. If you could lead me to a video tutorial, I would greatly appreciate it... can't seem to find any. Thanks.

    Real Fur? Do you mean Carrara's dynamic hair?

    Anyway, I don't know if this will help, but Holly Wetcircuit made a wonderful, comic book style tutorial on how to add Carrara's fur to the Mil Cat. It is easily adapted to other uses.

    On page 17, it says to download the Millennium Cat template from DAZ3D.com but where on the site do I do that?

    Can you check your product library for the Mil Cat? For some items, when I select them in my library, it shows the main files and then a separate template file to download.

    If you can't find it that way, you may be able to use the 3D paint tool to paint a black and white distribution file on the figure.

    Thanks, I found them... they were in the Millennium Cat Bundle I got, but with the Classic Cats. I rendered out a furry cat, but I need more practice... I'll try again tomorrow... thanks for your help :)

    Great tutorial in that link, EvilProducer.

    I'm glad you have found them.

    Going back to the original post, was Real Fur a product for Carrara you purchased from the DAZ store?

    @ EldritchCellar: Holly's tutorial is great. She also has one about how to use Carrara's procedural shaders to make a photo-real sun, complete with sun spots. It is also in her cool comic book format.

    FYI - There is a Daz published artist who sells Carrara fur for animals.  Livia Zita has "real fur" products for the millenium cat, millenium dog, and millenium big cats.  I wonder if there is a market niche for Carrara fur products for other animals.

    Might be a bit naive about other options out there but it certainly seems like Carrara has a really strong hair and fur solution, haven't played with it yet but judging by videos and tutorials the results look really fantastic.Once I'm finished an endless project I've been working on (Poser standalone fig) I would like to use Carrara hair to give Dinoraul's Homo habilis figure a realistic coat. How would one go about distributing such a thing as a freebie? would it just be a Carrara file preset?
