Wait, I think I remember now that you're trying to produce some pretty simple rendered tiles for a game?

If you only have pretty simple needs I'd think that you would want to stick with Carrara 7 Pro, or at least give it a deeper try to see if it will work for you.

It sounded like you were already testing it though - is there any particular reason why you are not able to use it, like is it missing some particular feature that you need?
