++"What is the url to the "made with Carrara gallery"?
I could not find it."++

As far as I know there is no such gallery.

What I said was, "gallery work labeled as "Done with Carrara." If you look at the Carrara/Eovia gallery of samples, there are categories (under the thumbnails) of what program was used to create the image - it's here = http://www.eovia.com/solutions/gallery/gallery_illustration.asp

Whether a potential client is new to 3d or not, I don't think claiming or implying that an image was made with a particular software is right unless it was. Disclaimers like modeled with, rendered with, etc. is the way to put all the cards on the table.

In most of my illustration work, when I use 3D, I model major parts of the project in Rhino and, like Marcel, take it to Carrara for rendering. So, I am well aware of the use of multiple packages to create images. Nearly everything I do is finalized in PhotoShop... the client/viewer does not care, but I am delivering illustration, not selling a software product. If someone asks, I am not hesitant to explain in detail how it was created.

Fair is fair...

Thanks for the link to Marcel's explanation of his Pirate piece... it is just as I expected. (I need to learn Zbrush, dang, that is awesome!)

I appreciate your input, and hope that Carrara/Eovia will get on the wagon.
