a vast majority of the models that are included with Carrara, are created with splines. Open some of them up and study how they are made.
That's true as in this example which you could open in the Scene wizard:



The thing I'm curious about, though, is that when you model in Carrara's Spline editor the model doesn't look smooth as you want it to look. Yet when rendered like the image above, it's completely smooth. Carrara indeed needs some revisiting.
