As the HDRI light model looks so god and renders about just as fast as a light setup I wanted to see what result I would get if adding some out of focus parts. The ground is just the default plane. I did not even apply a material to it. If I get a blurr I like then i'll add some more stuff and make a more compleate render.

Also, the HDRI should not get the blame for the 20 minutes rendertime as rendering without the out of focus blur took only 6 minutes in Final.

Carrara has allways been known for it's fast render engine, now, if they just could make a decent user interface...;)
