Yes, I'm using Blender's renderer. I'd love to use Yafray, though, but it still can't handle procedural textures, which I prefer. All of the images were Blender all the way, including modeling. No photoshopping, too.

I have downloaded Blender, Yafray, Indigo, Python and a several scripts but have not yet installed them. I'm not leaving Carrara, but would also like to explore options not currently available with Carrara and I don't have the $$$ for XSI, Max, Maya, or C4D.

Reason why I still use Blender is because I don't want to lose it. Last time I stopped using it, I had to re-learn everything I've learned. Unlike Hex and Car, you can pretty much leave them for a couple of months and still recall where you left off. Mostly because they're windows/mac standard such as the usual icons, drag and drop and stuff like that. Carrara has the cleanest, uncluttered UI you can find on a 3d package, IMO.

It would be nice to exchange animation data between Carrara and Blender with Collada, but Carrara does not support it. FBX may work, but I don't know if Blender imports/exports FBX?

I'm still not into animation yet. I'm probably using only about less than 5% of Blender. You might want to visit the Blender forums on that.
