Carrara is a comprehensive program for Windows intended to assist users in creation of three-dimensional figures and animations. The software distribution is aimed at both amateur and professional developers. Thus, it is possible to design models and effects, as well as apply textures and fine-tune details.

Overview

Similar to other 3D modeling utilities, the application provides various instruments to draw and edit the figures. The graphical interface is well-organized and provides access to dozens of different options and menus. You have the ability to apply lighting effects, change the view mode and render your project using a powerful engine.

Design

Among the design features, you will find the Eovia Photon Reality illumination modes and Non-Photorealistic Rendering system. You also have the option to add volumetric elements, such as water, sky and rain. With the help of these effects, you can easily create unique and lifelike scenarios.
