Hi, all --

I'm using C5 pro on Mac OS X 10.4.9 on an intel mac.  I have just installed Poser 7.  When attempting to use transposer or native importer, Carrara asks to point to the Poser application, but won't allow me to.

I've been reading some of the earlier posts and see the "Poser 6 workaround" described.  Can anyone please tell me what this is and how I can make this work?

Thanks,

Dex

Hi Dex, Just point to the P6 .exe instead if you still have it installed. There are some P7 specific things that won't translate, however. Layered animations and some of the new P7 morph targets do not make the jump. Basically, all the features that worked in P6 will translate from P7 - only the new ones won't. Mark

Thanks, Mark --

That's kind of what I'd figured, but didn't have P6 installed on the Mac.  I have it for the PC.

Grr, argh.

OK.  Onward.

So, what about content?  Do I need to move the P7 Content into the P6 Runtime?  Or will pointing Carrara to a P6 application be adequate for Carrara to access geometry and animation from wherever I have them in P7?

Also, is the new lip-synch feature in Poser one of the new features that doesn't translate?  Or will I have to buy a mac version of Mimic from Daz and use Daz characters only for lipsynch?

Thanks for the help!

Apologies for the delay in getting back in touch. The new lip syc feature uses the new P7 layer animation capability so it will not work via P6. I remember reading that the only requirement is to point to P6. I personally haven't experiemented with the P7/P6 work around. I do have both installed on my systems and simply use P6 when I know that I'll be integrating with Carrara at this point in time. Mark

Gotcha.  Thanks!  Seems like a plan, and kind of a waste for my partner to have bought P7 since our workflow requires Carrara....  Alas.
