Carrara 7.0 additionally offers many new robust features which help to improve overall workflow and production speed, such as:
- Multi-pass Rendering: Enables an artist to make changes to their renders without having to re-render the entire scene.
- 3D Paint: Carrara 7.0's new 3D Paint tool enables textures to be selected, edited and painted directly onto an object. The tool also provides a variety of flexible and time-saving painting modes as well as real-time display of bump maps and specularity.
- Assembly Room Vertex Modeling: Helping to improve Carrara 7's workflow, the Vertex Modeling capabilities that were previously only available in the Modeling room are now available in the Assembly room. This tool gives more power to modelers, allowing them to model in context to the other objects in their scene.
