Carrara F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Apr 09 3:53 pm)
Visit the Carrara Gallery here.
Subject: Carrara's Anime Labs
I'd like to share some skills I use to render anime characters, I flatten the character making it look 2D. I use carrara but it might be possible in Daz studios.
Please see the images below for better understanding.
Using the scale X and Y can make possible the flatten of a character you can make her as flat as you want.
Ear Pulled, Square big eyes, small mouth, unrealistic skin and light bulbs on the cheek are all anime features.
Lets start with lightings
See images below please:
Ok the Bulb is at 35% lighting at the color on the radial is
H= 96.50%
L=60.53%
S=29.99%
This bulb gives proper anime skin lighting unrealistic notice that the bulb is over by the edge the character is centered
Now we go for the Distant light settings see image below please:
Ok the Distant light is at 80% lighting at the color on the radial is
H= 95.77%
L=78.94%
S=37.48%
The location of the distant light can be seen on image 1. Both lights are set to best settings - raytraced under the effect tab
This conclude the lesson on the environmental light settings is more of a pinkish lights.
The following lesson will focus on the Ear Pulled a very important anime feature disregarded by many :P
We will place our lovely model facing forward for better teaching.
This model is Aiko 3 with kioki morph, This character has many morph and lots of clothes. Aiko 3 is widely supported in the Japanese Community including pixiv.net PoserClub.net.
In order to pull the ears on Aiko 3, see the images below:
The values are as follow
Earin= -2.0 (thats minus 2.0)
EarBig= 0.7
EarSmall= 0.9
I doubt you can do these with Aiko 4 or up. I always recommened Aiko 3 for your anime needs.
Next Lesson we will talk about Triangular Chin
This next lesson focuses on her Triangular Chin. The triangular chin cannot be done using Aiko 3 alone. You need to have Kioki for Aiko 3 to make this triangular chin, without Kioki I do not think you can create such a perfected Anime Chin. Kioki by Capces can be purchased here at Daz. at https://www.daz3d.com/kioki and Kioki Requires Aiko 3 morph and map located here https://www.daz3d.com/aiko-3-0-morphs-and-maps now on to the lesson.
The values are as follow:
JawH=0.3
JawSquare= 0.9
Here are the eyes lesson, possibly the hardest and tedious part is morphing these eyes in an anime style shape. First you need to darken the eye socket materia, by making the eyes socket material dark it will create a dark outline all around the eyes. Again, the morph I used on these requires the Kioki Morph. Here are the values of the Anime Eyes Shapes along with links.
I recommend Dumb or Anime Eyes for Victoria 3 (Victoria 3 Eyes fits on Aiko 3) @ https://web.archive.org/web/20060925192216/http://jjdelpy.free.fr/Poser/doaeyes.html
The values for the eyes are as follow:
EyesScale 0.5
EyeSpace 0.5
EyeAngle Up 0.2
EyeGumDrop 0.3
EyeinSquare 0.3
Eyelwrflat 0.3
EyeOutDwn 0.4
EyeShape1 0.8
EyeUpFlat 0.1
EyeDepth -0.1
EyeHeight 0.1
EyeWidth 0.1
Eyelidshllw 0.1
Eyelidshvy 0.1
Lasheslong 1.0
Lashlofull -9.0
Headshape and nose is as follow:
HDstylized 0.8
ThroatThin 1.0
Nosepointed 0.4
MouthSmall 0.2
MouthNarrow 0.2
Doing the HDStylized will automatically make the nose small and will also give the head an anime style. This are the basics of making an anime head using Aiko 3 with Kioki morph in Daz Studios it may be possible to do all this but I am not 100% sure if Kioki will work in DazStudios, I assume it does because is sold here. The above was all done in Carrara.
This next lesson we will focus on Anime Hair we will need the following for this tutorial

I notice that things are a little bit less stricter at the gallery I remember back in 2008 when i place a simple nude image I was attacked by the moderators and have my pic removed. Now I see people placing nude pics like crazy without moderation, I stopped placing nude pics alltogether a while now.
Merry Christmas from https://3DcGX.com
My last work was for amazon kindle I retold the story of the little red riding hood. See it live @ Link I'm not sure if I will make anymore the work can be tedious and unrewarding. I made this one back in 2014 but I have not made a sale :P you can use the amazon Kindle software they have for free and open a free account at amazon kindle.
A closer look at Aiko 1.0 released around February 2002 Discontinued product at Daz Studios. The readme says: Been dying to do some anime work, but unable to get the correct anime style right? Well now you can. Aiko (Love Child) by default is a bijin (beautiful woman) with henshin (physical transformation) powers. She is sure to satisfy even the most devout dai fan (anime fan). This character is equipped with the right proportions and abilities to build expressive and personality rich stories in either manga (comic book) or anime (animation).
My renders below:
Aiko 1.0 can be either a guy or a girl.
Aiko anime girl in my heart

My children book fables, stories and legends will soon be available in amazon kindle by next week, it features original children stories. All detailed and in 3D, I ill post a link on Saturday May 16 that day will be the freebie day for the book. so be on the look out, the book has 36 pages of original children stories.
I didn’t made it to the finals on the anime contest I’ll try harder next time.
Gravatitan a super robot protecting Gravitron City made of the strongest metal in the universe kierro, piloted by Gravuitas an enhaced android. Gravuitas is supported by her butler Hokkan, Monanitas the Maid, Jeek the student, Kora the Catgirl, Jyuna the student and Jerona the Pop idol. Together they fight against the evil mastermind Grokkas and his evil crew.
To describe the image, most aspects of Japanese anime is included on this image, you see a Butler, a maid, a giant robot, an android, a cat girl, a schoolgirl, a schoolboy and a pop idol. Moreover a good solid introduction. Best of luck to everyone.
I have used Carrara for some time now I use it for Anime renders, I have thread over by the Daz3D art studios called anime cafe.; Now because of Carrara limit on genesis I have used Kioki Aiko 3 is more of an anime type of base model with many morphs.; Carrara is great for anime renders, not so realistic just perfect.
and this can go on, so far I counted about 350 outfits with Aiko 3 and that not counting the outfits of my friend Idelacio @ idelacio he has 1.100 outfit combination with Aiko 3 he has an endless thread there, therefore with all this I have no need of genesis. i have an endless website of outfits at 3dcgx
Aiko means heart.i havent figured out if kawaii means something. tho i did learn what yaoi means, but not how to pronounce it.
