Welcome to Dartanbeck.com!
We're going to delve into an exciting adventure of filmmaking purely from CG (computer generated) elements, but maybe with a touch of stock footage shot in-camera? We'll see.
I'm sure that most of this will also be valuable toward making still images as well, but my main goal is to put it all in motion.
New Animations & Simulations Demo Videos!
All new Rosie! All New Reel!
dForce - Proof Pudding!
We're about to get underway with the next phase of this project - Seriously adding Daz Studio into our animating and rendering workflow.
It's been an exciting time for me, learning how to animate in such an odd way, yet doing it in the interface that allows us to make our own custom tools to help... I have an entirely different outlook on Daz Studio now.
I liked using it before, but only as a set of tools to help make things compatible with Carrara.
Now I've opened it up and explored rendering in OctaneRender and Iray, grabbed some useful plugins and scripts, discovered ways to animate without relying solely on aniMate 2 alone, simulating using both VWD and dForce and in the process made a whole new cast of characters that I like more than ever.
The above image is the new Rosie 7 and her new aniMate compatible car in a new Iray Cyberpunk environment.

Test using iReal Animated Ocean Water System to have real water flowing down this stream.
The test was a big success!
Now we can see it in action in the video above!!!
I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that new pages are going to be coming soon about the results of this whole adventure and some new videos that help show off the new techniques.

Plenty of experiments going on learning micro-movements of the face using a new FACS system.
Genesis 3 & 8 Face Controls provides a facial puppet rig used to manipulate all of the FACS (Facial Action Coding System) intricacies. We'll learn how I took this further by developing my own Animorphs specifically for FACS and expressions.
MORE TO COME SOON!!! MORE TO COME SOON!!! MORE TO COME SOON!!!

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!
Use the Gizmo on the left (or the following links) to filter between the following:
* Blacksmith 3D * Daz Studio * Poser * Reality * Reallusion * Sixus 1
...and Have Fun Learning New Skills and Techniques!!! :)
Philip Staiger of Project Dogwaffle (makers of PD Howler) uses Power Director to create his energetic and fun tutorial and demonstration videos!
