I've run across a consistent problem with Carrara 2 and I was
wondering if anyone knew of a workaround or fix. My problem is that when I pull in an OBJ to tweak it that when I export it Carrara will reverse the facets in some areas of the OBJ. Luckily the OBJs I pull in are grouped meshes so it only happens one part of the OBJ and can be fixed using Compose. But it is beginning to be a pain to do it everytime. Also is there anyway to get more precision when trying to position and OBJ? I've worked with OBJs before that have symmetry. Most cases I will work one side and then duplicate with symmetry to keep from having to all the work again. Problem is the duplicate symmetry doesnt always place the new mesh in the exact same coordinates on the other side of the axis. This proposes a problem because the duplicated mesh has other meshes that are expecting it to do just that. So when I export and then use it in Poser you can see the gap between the two meshes. It's really aggravating! Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
