Quote - I ran the script on the Poser 6 folder and seemed to do a lot of work. I made a new Poser file and transfer it to Carrara 5.1 and still only the hair came over. So still no success their.

I did another file in P5 with poses, saved it and brought it over to Carrara 5 and the whole figure came over but the poses were gone. Shucks I went back into Poser and sho' nuff, the pose was done on frame 30 and frame 1 was the default position. I changed the frames to just 1 and that did the trick. I was able to take the Poser 5 file into Carrara with the poses and all the colors and textures. So I'll work with Poser 5 until I figure out Poser 6.

I much rather render Poser files in Carrara 'cause it's easier to get around and see what's going on. I hope C6 will use the Daz Studio files. Poser is still a clunky pain to use.

 

Yeh I hate the frame system in Poser.  I don't do much animation but what I do do I usually do in Carrara.

Oh BTW, I found a little tip out for when your carrara suddenly crashes.. Select every item in your scene and group them into one group.  Next reduce everything so it all fits in the modeling grid box.  I had been modeling objects very large so I could get  abit more precision and detail, but apparently if you don't reduce the size, Carrara is likely to  crash when you render it.
