Carrara 5 supports both Macintosh and Windows platforms, takes advantage of OpenGL acceleration, and provides extensive interchange with leading design software and web tools software Adobe® Photoshop® and Illustrator®, Macromedia® Flash® and Shockwave® and more.
Carrara 5 enables artists to build a complete animated project from start to finish -- all with a single piece of software. It multitude of features give you a robust suite of modeling, animation and rendering tools. From the multiple modelers, to the preset textures and shaders to the ultra-fast and realistic rendering, Carrara 5 gives you all you need -- wrapped in an intuitive user interface that experienced 3D artists and novices alike will embrace.
