If this is a dumb, Carrara-can't kinda question, please forgive my asking, but I can't seem to get Carrara to import a light set from Poser that uses black or negative lights? Am I missing something, or are these not possible in Carrara?

TIA - Martin

Hi Martin, Carrara doesn't have Negative Lights. :-/ While lighting capabilites are a little more robust in Carrara than Poser, that's one feature that would be nice to have. A work-around in Carrara is to use the selective lighting capabilities. That way you can tell specific objects not to receive designated lights. Mark

Thanks for the confirmation - ah well, here's to version 6...?
