What is the best way to handle poses for figures from Poser (runtime) and posed in Carrara? I tried the Non-Linear Ann controls and made a master pose of the bird standing... then I could use it as a pose when I messed it up or brought in another bird, but can I save it and use it again? Or is it saved in the file only? What about adding a figure (poser model pulled from runtime in browser) to objects - it seems to work okay - I added the bird with a pose and I was able add it again to my scene. But is this the best way to do it? I have rigged figures that I want to save - so far it works with the figures pulled from browser/ runtime/poser figures - but what about figures I rig in Carrara?

I'm saving my characters to the browser -- just dragging the whole group into "my objects."  It's working just fine.

I haven't been able to figure a way to save a pose in Carrara.  For that, I've been building the poses in Poser and saving them to the library.

 You can save NLA clips as master clips that only have a pose. Then you can then drag those clips into the Broswer Clips tab area. On future work on the same character, you can simply drag the Browser Clips into your document clips and reapply the pose.
