Carrara8 is out with new features for posing and lighting, along with new multithreading and 64-bit support.  The result is an impressive toolset for character modeling and rendering, with more for environments than ever before.  New plants and vegetation models and textures are included, along with mesh editing tools, animation tools, and lighting tools.

“Carrara 8 Pro’s FBX export capabilities are beyond compare ” said Carrara user and Unity developer William Bell. “For months I had worked with several high-end 3D suites trying to transport my animated models into the Unity game engine with no success. It wasn’t until I installed Carrara 8 Pro that I experienced a completely seamless export directly into the engine on the very first try.” “

IT’s available now for Windows and Mac for $550.
