I was recently browsing some galleries and was blown away by renders being produced by a renderer called Modo202 (see image above). I downloaded a demo a copy and was amazed at how fast the example scenes were rendered and how realistic they looked (the one above is a straight render with no postwork using an example scene that came with the demo).

But, there were two major problems with it 1/ Its pretty  expensive (over $800) and 2/ it's VERY hard to use - I've been playing with the demo for  two days now and still can't work out how to texture things!

My question is. Can Carrara produce images like this or are there any renderer plugins that would allow you to produce this quality? I love the simplicity of Cararra but images I have seen  still have that "Computer generated" look.

Thanks
