Demos of using Virtual World Dynamics in Carrara
Dynamic Cloth at last in Carrara! I have been testing the newly available (and still being developed) Virtual World Dynamics plugin which has a recent interface from Carrara. You can use it to turn virtually any item of clothing into fully dynamic cloth, and also prop and conforming hair into a dynamic hair model. All very exciting!
My little video first shows a dress becoming dynamic, then a conforming hair and finally a sequence with both at once. I have included the initial drape phase so that you can see it - in an actual project, you would start rendering from the first actual pose and not the default T-pose.
As you can see it works very well, most of these use the default settings and could be improved with further adjustments to both the animations and the cloth, but hey - working dynamic cloth in Carrara!!
All of these were rendered with the Octane Render for Carrara plugin, taking only a few seconds to render each frame, which with soft shadows, full global illumination and camera depth of field is just terrific.
Good times!
