This is slightly OT but I think there's gotta be a few that will be interested nonetheless since a number of game developers use Carrara for 3D and a number of GG members here have gotten PD Particles, and a few also upgraded to PD Pro.
For those who therefore use noth Carrara AND PD Pro/Particles, this should help:
Here's a first of hopefully a series of tutorials that focus on how you can use Carrara for 3D together with Project Dogwaffle. Of course, many of the tutes will also have value to those using other 3D tools such as Cinema 4D, Lightwave, 3DS Max etc...

This first tutorial shows how to render a 3D object into a Targa image as 32-bit with Alpha, so that the background is 'transparent' when loaded into a Project Dogwaffle Pro's custom brush.
There are numerous other tutorials sprinkled already across thebest3d.com in different places, for things like post work, video frame editing, special fx and adding foliage with particle brushes. You'll see a number of links at the above location to some of these other 3d-related tutorials.
Happy gamedev'ing & waffling in 3D!
