I didn't use an HDRI background. Just a faint shade of dark gray for the skylight. I didn't think modo was using HDRI for their scene. I'll look again. I thought their scene was lit just by the bright square polygon to the left of the objects and a darkened skylight surrounding the scene.
I will try again using a brighter Anything Glows value (say 200% instead of 100%) and increase the photon count from 5000 which I forgot to do. I normally crank it up to 20000. If I increase my skylight brightness, it washes out the Anything Glows lighting.
Of course this will increase the render time in Carrara far beyond 1.5 hours on my system for a 640x480 image. modo can already render the scene in less than 7 minutes.
