I just bought Carrara 5 pro, and this is my first effort with it. I used the Desk scene preset, and made a few modifications. To do the maps, I used maps from the national Geographic Maps CD set (Mars from 1972 and a world map from 1970) and exported them as Microsoft office pictures, then copied and pasted them into Photoshop Elements where I used them as textures on a UV-mapped rectangle exported from Rhino. The picture on the desk is my grandfather. To get James posed right, I exported the chair and table as 3ds files then imported them into Poser And posed James in the chair with his arm resting on the table. Then I deleted the chair and table from Poser and saved it with just james in that pose, then I imported him into the carrara scene and scaled and positioned him. (I also had to reposition the chair). I had to import James as an obj because carrara freezes when I try to import a pz3 (even though I have 2 GB RAM). But I am really impressed with Carrara's fast, high-quality rendering.
