Studio was practically a necessity to make DAZ content work in carrara. Then even that quit working. The last time I checked; and it has been a few months, studio and carrara didn't work well together aany more. I had to role back both installs to get them working together again. And I had spent too much on Studio plugins, DAZ content, and carrara for them not to work together practically seamlessly; which they actually have a few times. At one time I was loading poser dynamic clothing to Studio, converting to conforming clothes, then loaded them to carrara to soft cloth drape them. It worked quite well.

None the less that wasn't developed for carrara it was developed for studio, bet it works fine in it. No DAZ content is/was ever tested in carrara before release. You will find a lot of DAZ content does not work well in carrara if it works at all. Most content artiest use Studio to create their content {it's actually quite easy with Studio, lot of auto tools to make it easy}; well excluding Poser content but that ship sailed long ago.
