There is a much much brighter light source to the left than behind the camera.  In theory, I could have added a second distant light behind the camera.  But the sun was coming from the other window.

I could have blurred things.  I could have turned on AA.  I could have turned on Sky Light.  I could have scaled the sphere better for the room.  I could have posted this in the gallery.

But this was just a draft area render from the Assembly Room (I spent only a minute to set up the scene) to show that Carrara can do shadow catching.  The Carrara manual has two pages describing the feature.
