I'm new too and am loving it.  Spent several hours last night and was totally absorbed.  Never noticed the thunderstorm till I test rendered something and went to get a snack. 

The texture room seems way more complicated than Bryce's (which I might add I never mastered either), luckily I hear there is some user guide for sale that is aimed a newbies like me.

I have the pro version and am wondering if there is a way to (not sure of the terminology) set it up so that it could go through a list of seperate carrara files I want to render them out, without me having to open them one at a time and hitting render? 

Also does anybody know what DPI is good for colour laser printing?  I'm planning on using to Carrara, Poser, Wings, Photoshop to make a graphic novel as a grad gift for this girl.  I have 45 days left, luckily I have the first part of the story written, and can give her the first part if I can't get the whole novel finished.

And I have almost two of the multitude of 3d models I need made.

Can Carrara multireplicate like Bryce?

Thanks for all of your help and sorry Drac for hijacking your thread.  I promise to not do it again...maybe :p

Sincerely,

David
