Hmmmmmm. I'm looking at Carrara, too. Have been (on-and-off) for quite a while now. Over the last few weeks, I've been hearing some stuff about Carrara that has gotten my attention again.

I've recently purchased a plug-in for P6 (GlowWorm at DAZ) which drastically increases the power of control over native P6 firefly renders. GlowWorm allows for multipass rendering. A great advantage........but on the other hand -- the downside is that it's time-consuming.

But I'm still not satisfied with Poser's render/memory issues -- Poser tends to choke on complicated scenes. This has been a problem with Poser for a long, L-O-N-G, time. It forces the user to try all sorts of "tricks" in an attempt to get Poser to render a scene.......an occasionally irritating process. Not to mention forcing you to operate in trial-and-error mode.

Carrara Pro, huh?

I'll have to spend some time browsing the Carrara gallery. See what others have done with Poser scenes imported into Carrara.
