1. Load a standard figure. Here we have Aiko 3. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, horrid blocky eyelashes appear in non-photoreal line-art rendering…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2. To fix, enter Carrara’s Model Room. Use the camera to get a good view of the figure’s head. Her ten-trillion control points look confusing, but there’s an easy way to select just the eyelashes.<\/p>\n

3. Top menu | Selection | Select by… | Shading Domain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Choose “Eyelashes”. They are then highlighted in red.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Select the Scale tool (the ‘twin triangles’ icon), and make them really small. Then select the Move tool, and slightly push them back into the head.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s it. Line renders will now appear to omit the eyelashes. You could probably do the same with fat (rather than thin line) geometry eyebrows.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, another problem discovered with Carrara. A bit of a deal-breaker, even for occasional work. No drag-and-drop of clothes \/ poses from PzDB onto the scene\/figure, as can be done with Poser and DAZ. Since getting Carrara to see \/ interact with \/ load from a Content Library is such a nightmare, then if PzDB can’t be used… Carrara can’t be used either.<\/p>\n

And Poser 11, as you can see here, effortlessly gives line-art that is just so much better. And does so in WYSIWYG real-time, and with no need to fix eyelashes…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Raw Poser real-time render, Aiko 3.<\/em><\/p>\n

The only drawback of Poser is that for best results you need to render line-art, colour flats and shadows, and then composite the three real-time renders in Photoshop. Still, not bad for what now costs $53.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
