I was unable to get the facets corrected on most of the scene. It crashed Lightwave repeatedly. I couldnt correct them in Carrara either. So I put some different objects in. The textures are not exact either, or finished. The tea cup is still showing facet problems but I left it in, since it is the biggest rendering hit anyway. Light through transparency in GI is turned off as well. But all things considered, not bad for a 5 minute and 30 second render. Lighting can be improved to match Modo better, but it goes up to over 8 minutes for that. n particuliar, the shading errors around the base of the tea cup and the other objects improve, but again, that is over 8 minutes. In Modo on my machine it renders in 2:15 seconds. So, Carrara is at least 3-4 times slower. I will render a best lighting option, or turn the interpolation up later and post that result. I used the plane as a photon emitter and a value in the glow channel. I also used a light sky light. You can see where my gamma is at also. Now, I will be the first to admit Carrara is not near as fast as Modo. But I dont think it is as bad it appears at first.
