Thanks, all.  I tried Carrara 6 Pro tonight, and I can't imagine rendering in FireFly again - life's too short.  The quality and speed are amazing.  It's a shame the interface is so kludgy - I think poser is much better for composing a scene.  I suppose I'll probably get the scene 95% of the way in poser, then switch over for lights and rendering.

Thanks again!
