Anything Grooves sample shaders |

uses Anything Grooves |
Carrara 6 or better tipMany of these tutorials were written before the scene scaling functionality was added in Carrara 6. If the tutorial does not mention
it, assume the scene should be a small scale scene. If you would like to build the scene as a medium or large you will need to adjust any size attributes listed.
Sample shaders and textures below to be used with Anything Grooves. |
