    ... Steve K, I had forgotten about those. I found them when I was poking around. I'm so new that I sometimes forget to get back to things that I've "found" before. I've started taking notes, but it doesn't help a whole lot... Thanks. :lol:

    You're welcome. I actually do not use the Carrara lighting preset scenes very often, but only because I prefer something like this:

    http://www.daz3d.com/luminance-lighting-pack-for-carrara

    These tend to have a lot of lights, and so the render time may not be ideal for animation. But I've had good results with still image renders.

    ... and both indirect and sky light since the prefab scenes had some openings.

    This means "Global Illumination"? I've had good luck with that in Carrara also, but again the render times can go up for animations. I'm not sure what the "openings" refers to.

    Thanks for the link. I do still images. I've never even played with animation much, even in Poser.

    That light pack looks expensive, but I'll wishlist it. My budget for the month is long-since history. Although, in my experience with Poser, a complicated light rig does not necessarily equal a good light rig. Some of my favorite Poser lights are very simple.

    By "open" spaces, I meant windows/doorways/ect. Could have worded that better, sorry. Skylight doesn't do any good if the scene is closed of to the "world" but since that scene had windows, I turned sky light ong.

    This one is silly. He's inside not quite looking out. She's outside not quite looking in. It's stupid... Just a DOF experiment with Carrara 8.5 Pro....This actually rendered faster than I had expected--in about 8 minutes.

    Carrara's native render engine is pretty fast and you can get nice looking images even without GI. The images I posted earlier use no GI at all.

    Cool. I just thought I'd try it. I've only recently used in Poser. I had an ancient computer until near the end of 2011.

    Any Poser Pro 2014 users here? Carrara doesn't recognize the base program runtime when imported on my machine. I know some of the newer Poser figures won't work in Carrara well, but there are some props and stuff that I should think would...

    Waves at tiggersprings - "I am"
    Did you add it at the runtime level or the parent "Poser Pro 2014 Content" level (see attached image). After adding at the parent level, you should be able to see all your stuff.

    Hope this helps
