The birth of anything grooves:)
I've been browsing the yahoo group and collecting as much useful
information for tips for the VizualDS site as I can. About 35 tips
up so far. If you guys have any you'd like to submit please do!! You
don't even have to be a member just go here:

But anyway, its funny looking through the list, and seeing how buggy
Carrara 1 was, and seeing the complaints, the workarounds, and well
its nice. If anyone doubts how much Carrara has improved, and
started with CS1, well open it up and see what happens;), or browse
back to 1999:) See below for the Anything Grooves birth;)

So Antoine kind of challenged me in his 12/6 post, "So the solution
is to
create true displacement mapping on the fly. A good plug-in idea!
What do
you think about that, Eric ? ;-)"
I took the challenge and well, we have first render!

The bricks in the picture aren't a Terrain primitive, they're a Plane
primitive with a deformation map! There's still a long way to go,
you can
see the stitch down the middle where I don't supply all the facets
yet, but
it is possible in Carrara. Now if I can only come up with a product
name...
