there is an Octane plug in for carrara, but is expensive.

Yeah, I was thinking more like a built in render option. I've seen it in other software like Maya and 3dsmax, where they will have a drop down list under "render" that allows you to choose a render engine that comes with the software. They usually have the default one, which in Carrara's case would be the current Ray Dream engine, but then they also offer iray, vray, or arnold. There's not need to purchase another standalone plugin. The option is built into the software. DS has that now too, where you can choose iray or the older engine. I think it was renderman or something like that. Plugins the way they are now in carrara are just bridges to other standalone engines. I'd have loved to see iray actually integrated into carrara.
