This may save you some head scratching.  If a model uses a pmd file for external morphs, I have found that the object will come into Carrara without the morphs.  If you open it in Poser and resave it (with use external morphs unchecked in poser) it will save with internal morphs.  You can then import this second instance with the internal morphs and they will work in Carrara.

I agree with the others, using Carrara from the start is preferable.  I started with poser years ago, switched to Carrara, and no longer think of setting anything up in poser.

BTW, I frequently use multiple V4 and M4 models in a scene with many objects without difficulty.  64 bit with 12 Gigs RAM helps.
