Litst, best wishes for a Happy New Year - and I think what L.N. (Hokusai?) means is this: 1. Export wavefront.obj file from Poser using default settings. 2. Import that Poser wavefront.obj file into Carrara using default settings. 3. It appears with group names and group material names as they were in Poser. 4. Save this Carrara file as Poserobj.car using default settings. 5. Quit Carrara. 6. Re-open Poserobj.car in Carrara; now all the material names have been replaced by sequential numbers. So the question is: how to retain the original material names when saving the Carrara file and then re-opening it.
