I'm running the demo of C5pro and am puzzled. Although it looks like a fine program, my specific interest is in having something other than poser to rig, move and render pre-built figures in. Eovia advertises that C5 can do this, but after hours of trying to use the native import feature, this is what I've been able to do:
--Import a couple of props
--Import one .cr2 file out of numerous attempts; this one came in with its morph information missing (Poser has external morph file option turned off)
--Load one .pz3 file out of numerous attempts; this one came in with the figure missing her (prop) hair and not rigged.
In all other attempts, the program locked up after loading the figure but before displaying it. My system is a brand new dual-core 64-bit AMD system running 32-bit XP-pro, with 4 gig of memory; so I don't think it's a resource issue. Carrara is pointing at the correct runtime directory; I only have one runtime and I'm running the most current fixpack on Poser 6.
My question is: is this normal? Will Carrara really not load .pz3s or .cr2s of even average complexity? I also have Vue5I, and it will load any .pz3 I throw at it. Its limitations are that you can't rig in it, it doesn't import poser procedural textures (but what does?) and it's crash-prone. But at least it works.
