Thanks a bunch. I did a quickie flying disk animation which actually worked! I made a medium mountainous preset terrain, dropped in a sphere, scaled it to 6000 and flattened it to a disk. Up to now, I have concentrated on Poser and trying some combo animations with Carrara Pro( v4) My scenic backgrounds have been sparse, to say the least. I have had a problem trying to import a short animated Tortoise Pz3 file. The CarraraPro v 6.0.3 simply will not import it . And it is supposed to work without the need for the Transposer plug-in... The Poser 6 file works fine, renders to a QT animation . But when I try to import it as I have done with other files in the past, I get an error message. Here are a couple of links to see a couple of my older efforts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mipiR1t-h1U&feature=user http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D7agy4ZGko&feature=user I guess you need to copy and paste the links...
