I'll check out DOF Pro.    I don't think Carrara does that bad a job.  At least it gets the depth better than I would be able to manually in PS.   And the more I can do in Carrara the better.   I really only ran an infra-red filter on this one to give it a monochrome feel and bring out the halation on the white pieces.

 

Just for kicks I ran the render again with raytracing and cranked up the detail.   There's really not a lot of difference at this resolution.  Maybe if I rendered it larger it would be more pronounced.   

 

Yeah, no transparency.   I've rendered this set in glass before (with IBL) and it's a painful experience.   Maybe when I get my quad core I'll try again.  :)

I've also rendered it, in glass, with IBL in BRYCE.   That one took "a while"
