I've spent a few hours looking and really don't have answers, hopefully the knowledgable folk in this forum can help me..

I have C4Pro and have created several characters. Although the character animation (such as it is) is a bit more robust with the addition of Morph Targets and semi-useable IK chains, Working with setting bone influences and mixing morphs all within C4 is way, way too time consuming.

I can upgrade to Poser 6 and transposer 2 (although they don't quite "work and play well together' -- yet), so I'm wondering...

I know I can export vertex objects as OBJs that Poser can import and then I can assign bones and such to the objects, creating poser figures of my own. And then I can pose the figures and import the scene into C4 via TransPoser.

How involved is this 'round trip', that is, is assigning bones and such in Poser easieror quicker than in Carrara? Are Vertex Object Morph Targets in C transferable to Poser (don't think so) or would MultiMorph (a plug-in) be a better way to add morphs to Vertex Objets and then export them all and combine the figure and morphs from inside Poser?

So how does the Transposer interface look like? Is it anything like the RayDream Poser plug-in of days gone by? Can I adjust poses from within C using Poser-esque dials and such? Or do I have to create entire scenes in Poser and just basically use Carrara as a render engine? I tried going to the Eovia site and there's no detailed information on how the plug in actually works. Infact there's no obvious indication (to me, anyway) that Transposer 1 got installed with my copy of C4Pro.

I really want to use Carrara to create images for some comic stories I have in mind, so Actual animation is nice, but having control over facial expressions and body positioning is crucial.

Any information, commentary, opinions welcome and appreciated. I really don't want to haveto buy Poser & Transposer 2, but if I can get the results I want, I will.

TIA
