Carrara 5 is the perfect choice for the design professional looking for a complete 3D package. It offers a complete spline and polygonal modeling module, fantastic landscaping features, ultra-rich texturing capabilities, and state-of-the-art realistic or draft-style rendering. Carrara 5 software's exceptional richness and ease-of-use will help you to move beyond the ordinary and give rise to the extraordinary.

Ambient Occlusion
Ambient occlusion is a technique that has been used in movies for years to simulate global illumination. By controlling the amount of ambient light that objects receive depending on their local configuration, ambient occlusion creates a very soft lighting solution that is similar to a global illumination solution but without its cost in rendering time. So you can render your scenes more quickly and accurately.

Subsurface Scattering
Subsurface scattering is the light that scatters inside an object and filters through in a diffuse manner. This is absolutely necessary for creating realistic skin, marble, milk, and more. Your images will look more realistic than ever before with Carrara 5 software.

Fresnel Effect
Carrara 5 delivers the capability to create realistic surface reflections thanks to the incorporation of the Fresnel effect. In a transparent material like glass, the reflection and transparency depends on the angle of view. For instance, if you are facing a window most of the light goes through and there is very little reflection. However at low angle, the glass becomes a very reflective surface. This is the Fresnel effect. This is very useful when creating transparent material such as glass, but also for water surfaces (ocean, lakes, etc.).

Volumetric Clouds
In addition to the physical simulation of the sky of Carrara, you can now add volumetric 3D clouds that realistically scatter the light of the atmosphere. You can control their shape and appearance, place them in 3D and animate them.

Improved Particle Generator
The new particle generator in Carrara 5 allows you to create fluid and volumetric effects. New rendering options have been added allowing you to use splats (squares oriented towards the direction of view) or metaballs in addition to triangles and spheres. The particles now interact realistically with other objects and physical forces in your scene. The editor has been completely redesigned to make it easier to create beautiful effects. Particles can be generated directly from the surface of an object. Objects in your scene can be used as particles, allowing you to create bees swarms, falling leaves, bird flocks, and more quickly and easily.

Joint Orientation
You can now control the orientation of the joints in your skeleton so that that you can set up better constraints on your joints. To make it even easier, an automatic orientation is performed when you create the bones.

Replicator
Duplicate objects quickly along a grid, an arc or a circle, dramatically improving the speed of creation within Carrara 5.

Poser Native Import
Carrara 5 is now able to natively import Poser characters (with bones, morph targets and skinning info), clothes (not dynamic) and props. Poser figures are imported with Carrara bones and morph targets allowing you to animate them directly inside Carrara, eliminating the need to spend time in Poser doing animation.
