Quick question - when I import an object into Carrara, what is the ratio of Poser units to Carrara units so I can get the scaling right?

TIA Martin

Carrara Transposer etc has a normal import setting of 1 Poser unit equals 20 Carrara units.  However, you should quickly find that Poser items are not sized relatively to each other anyway so that it all becomes  slightly meaningless.

Resizing in Carrara is so simple that it is not a problem in practice.

hi bwtr

thanks for confirming what I had already found out - Poser is truly a law unto itself!

cheers
