My only beef with "Carrara" is how do you SPELL IT!? :)  But seriously...I just had a really bad-a** graphics machine built for me, installed win7 64 bit and now my OLD Carrara 8.1 renders as large an image (both dpi and physical size) as I want! I LOVE watching the image "melt into view"... giggle fit!  

The main thrill for me is that I don't have to buy Pro, no need for the "64 bit" when my 32 bit works a treat! heheeeehahahahha YAY! Am I happy or what?!  The ONLY reason I got and kept hoping Carrara would work are Howie's scenes...I spent a fortune on them, because in my opinion NO OTHER LANDSCAPE RENDERER WORKS to create photo-real landscapes and Howie takes all the pain of creating them out of life!

I am admittedly dyslexic... and doing anything original in Carrara is just not possible for me...and I am also a "post-work fanatic"... I am most at home creating backgrounds and adding my POSER characters perfectly rendered in later. (My brain could NEVER wrap around DS, and it looks like - from browsing around in this forum, that's a good thing, in relationship to Carrara anyway.) I do remember that my particular Carrara version could actually bring poser INTO itself really well... so if I wanted to learn the lighting that would make them look proper, I could... but that's just too time consuming when I can get perfect results from poser's renders....

Mainly I just wanted to let folks know that the 8.1 version is VERY compatible with my win7 Professional 64 bit!!

runs off to play in Howie-Carrara land!
