Carrara Zone
Carrara is an incredibly vast, yet easy-to-use software. Due to its vastness, Carrara zone is divided into sections to help keep things a bit more (hopefully) organized.
Carrara information center topics. This is all about Carrara and its features and so on.

Tutorials and articles regarding how I use Carrara in the endeavors of the main subject of this web space - to make CG Movies. Within, I'll often include links to portions of Carrara Info topics and articles.

I briefly write my story through the years in 3D digital graphics, starting with my finding Carrara in the first place.
Some of My Personal Favorites is a page that will be growing as I get the time to fill it.
It's a page dedicated to some of my favorite content from Daz 3D that I use in Carrara. I thought it would be a helpful showcase of product both legacy and new and everywhere in between that is known to work in Carrara. Helps take some of the guess work out of it.
I'll also try and make notes about the author - some of these content artists have a knack for making things that just plain work - and work well!
Just Getting Started in Carrara?
If you're new to Carrara and would like to read a great "Getting Started" thread about bringing in Genesis for the first time and going on and on from there, I can't recommend this thread enough, by forum member Diomede: No one asked me
Buy Carrara!
Check out my friend, Vyusur's amazing, realistic original figures and Daz 3d supplements!
Ever want to turn your 3D creations into something tangible? Something useful or even a cool action figure for the desk?
We have a new thread in the Carrara forum all about making this happen!
We also have CREALITY, bringing 3D Printing to us at incredibly reasonable prices!
They even offer upgraded kits!
CREALITY excels at selling 3D Printers for less than $300 USD, and we're talkin' about the famous Ender 3, not the bargain basement brands that just become a big ol' household paperweight!
Carrara Video Support Articles
These articles accompany videos I've published on YouTube. I'm using this hybrid method to help keep videos more brief and to-the-point, with the support of further explanations in a written article.

Have a Question? Just Ask!
I love to help others as best I can. This is a rather broad topic: CG Filmmaking, so my articles on any particular topic may not answer your specific question.
Most of the questions directed to me are regarding Carrara or How did I do this?
For these sorts of things, post your question at the Carrara Discussion Forum (or another appropriate category) at Daz 3D.com forums, and if I don't see it right away, someone else might. They are such a friendly and helpful bunch! I've learned so much from that forum over the years!
For a more immediate question directed to me, log into those forums and Send me a PM!
Please support this project, even in some small way find out how
