These are models I created which you can download and use. All of these models have been made using Carrara Studio and Amapi. The ReadMe.TXT file in each archive includes information on the installation and usage of the models.

	Girl 4 Skull Cap A UV Mapped Skull Cap for The Girl 4 by DAZ for use in Carrara version 6.2 and up. ShortUnisex-Girl4-Morph.car by Peter MacDougall pem pmacd is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.5 Canada License.
	Rocket Helmet A Poser-ready version of the Rocketeer (c) helmet based on the original design by author and artist Dave Stevens and immortalized in the great and underappreciated movie, The Rocketeer. Size 148Kb.
	Candy Cane This is a Carrara .CAR file but for everyone else, I have included the OBJ and MTL files as well. The stripes are actually geometry so that I could get tighter striping and so I could change the stripe colours by changing the texture colour only. This model has a high polygon count and should deform smoothly. Size 290Kb.
	Rocket Flier "Nothing's as Fast a Rocket!" Rocket Jockeys, enjoy your own little rocket. This Poser-ready detailed wagon is fully poseable and fully textured. It is a high-resolution model with detailed modelling down to the individual nuts and bolts. It is built for detailed close-up illustrations/still images, but if you have the iron, its efficient use of polygons allows it to be used for animation where detail counts. Inspired by those little red wagons. Size 1.9Mb.
	Home Movies: Water I am planning on making several brief animations to introduce my home movies and this was one design. This turned out essentially the way I imagined it. The sound capabilities of my video dubbing software are limited so the sound is rough. The waves and wavey words are distorted by Anything Grooves and the grass was created with Anything Grows plug-in, both plug-ins are by Digital Carvers Guild. Size 2.49Mb.
	Bugs Landing Originally this was a subdivision surfaces tutorial from 3D World magazine for 3DSMax version 5. But as the article said, you should be able to do it in any modern 3D app, like Carrara 3. I created the model to test out the new shading domain features of the subdivision surfaces in the vertex modeller, and the author of the tutorial was right, it was easy. I then thought it would make a cute animation and I proceeded to whip up this 10 second gag. Size 2.46Mb.
	Bugs Walking This sequel to Bugs Landing was originally started to test out the new Inverse Kinematics (IK) tools in Carrara 4. I say new because they were new when I started the animation. They were a vast improvement over the IK solution in Carrara 3. The whole thing took about three evenings to animate except those evenings were separated by a two year time span. Size 6.8Mb.
	Merry Christmas Snow This was originally another Home Movies title movie for my winter season home movies. I changed the letters to make a peaceful Christmas message. I still view this one as a work in progress as there are a few glitches I want to fix. I was after the same style as the old Rankin-Bass Christmas specials with the stylized simplistic trees and fanciful snowflakes. Size 1.9Mb.
	The Millenium Dragon Speaks Inspired by the Robert Munsch and Michael Martchenko book, The Paper Bag Princess, this was originally a quick test piece to demonstrate to my relatives how easy it was to generate character animation using a sound file, DAZ Mimic and Poser. Mimic did the basic lip-sync and then I corrected and emphasized the facial movments and added the body language. This animation was a natural to bring into Carrara Studio with the Transposer plug-in. The final render used Global illumination and motion blur. The sound was added back in and background sound was added in Magix Movie Edit Pro 2004. Size 1.5Mb.
	Gelatinous Blob When testing the Transposer plug-in for Carrara Studio, I wanted to do something which would be difficult to do in Poser. This animation includes DAZ's Michael 2 animated in Poser and imported using the Transposer plug-in. The sphere is a deformed primitive, the bubbles are free particles, a fog primitive adds some volume to the blob, and the background is made up of simple cube primitives with procedural textures. The animation uses Global illumination but without caustics. The sound was added in Magix Movie Edit Pro 2004. It was very quick and easy to do. Size 1.0Mb.
