I think you're wrong when you say that blender is not good for rendering. The internal renderer is going better every day (almost...) and you can no do raytraced images, using ambiant occlusion, subsurface scattering.... Maybe its renderer is not as "graphic" as the Carrara one, but you can do nearly the same things using blender and blender has some powerfull features that Carrara don't have : the node editor is a very efficient way to create shaders and/or to composite images, modify some render settings..... Actually, you have more render controls with blender than with carrara : more antialiasing settings, more settings with soft raytraced shadows.... and if you want specific renderers (unbiased ones for exemple) you have now a lot of choice. I'm sure blender can now be described as more powerfull than Carrara, but of course it needs more work than Carrara to be effficient with it
