A couple simplifications -- You can export from Carrara as .obj For that matter, you can UV map in Carrara (although the built-in mapper is much more primitive than what is offered by UV Mapper Pro). The major reason I ever have to import to Poser then export again is to set scaling, position, and orientation to suit. Now, if you save to library (with compression turned off) it should save as .pp2 HOWEVER, it will save with geometry imbedded in the .pp2 Last I heard, DAZ required external geometry. There are various ways to do this but, really, I find it simplest to line up a .pp2 without embedded geometry (which most things outside of the shipped-with library are), and my brand-new .pp2, side by side in a text editor. It's basically a matter of chopping a big section out and adding one new line that points towards the director I put the object file in (the .obj, that is). Fortunately, Poser will only imbed geometry when you create a prop for the first time. If you make some changes and re-save it, it will keep the link to the external geometry you chose.
