Start creating items from scratch without having to take the formal training courses. Modeling with metaballs is simple and fun, yet extremely powerful as you can create amazingly complex objects and add them to one another for even more complex shapes. The only limit is your imagination.
Create 3D text of any character set you have installed on your system easily with the Text modeler. Design flying logos and impressive 3D graphics using this easy and useful tool.
The power of splines is at your fingertips using Carrara’s robust spline modeler. Start with simple spline curves and extrude them out into original objects with quick actions that provide total control over your creations.
To add even more details on terrains, you can use the render time displacement feature that applies a shader to the surface of the terrain to displace it. Calculated at render time, this feature allows you to work quickly while delivering incredibly detailed terrains in your finished work.
Simulating the surface of the ocean, this new feature can be used to create both still and animated oceans. Control the speed and direction of the wind as well as the wave height.
For further realism, you can use advanced shaders such as transparency with absorption and the in-scattering render option. These new shaders and render options simulate depth by determining light absorption based on the relative depth of the water and the realistic light reflection from particles within the ocean. This allows you to make shallow waters appear much more realistic.

In addition to the physical simulation of skies in Carrara, you can add volumetric clouds that realistically scatter the light of the atmosphere. You can control their shape and appearance, place them in 3D space, and animate them.
Improvements to the Plant Modeler in Carrara 8 include multiple leaf objects and a new Plant Shape tool.
