"Have you seen the Lightwave gallery at NewTek? It is awesome and I have yet to find a 3d gallery that even begins to compare with the works posted there. See the link above."

Yes, but that also has A LOT to do with the fact that 90% of the images you see there are from professional artists and FX companies as opposed to 90% of Carrara's user base which is hobbiests. It has more to do with the artist that the software. Give any of those LightWave users a copy of Carrara 4 and you'll likely see them turn out works that rival what you see in the LightWave gallery. (especially given C4's rendering engine) Giving the majority of Carrara users a copy of LightWave would not yield the same results.

That asside, have you looked at the gallery at Strata cafe? While not all of it compares to what you see in the LW gallery there's a good deal that does. Especially check out Chris Tyler's stuff.
