I've been using Carrara, well since it was Ray Dream... REally LOVE to Spline modeler for doing more Mechanical detail items as I can draw sections very precisely inside programs like illustrator  and such and import to get really nice models.

One kinda major issue I have found is that circles and toruses are very jaggy no matter what i do.   Ive gone and actually increased the point count and such in Ill-y when importing and when doing easy stuff in Carrara and just using a simple torus it comes out jaggy...  something I'm missing?  the image included is just a simple profile with torus applied in the spline modeler (PS  It's Carrara 7 Pro as I simply can't $$$$ to upgrade and honestly I don't see anything important to me improved in 8 at this point)

Just an FYI, you can increase the fidelity/smoothing to greater than 100%. For really detailed stuff, I'll use 800%.

I always up the fidelity in the spline modeler with anything curved.  It's pretty cheap in terms of overhead on the scene.
