Ok, here's the gist of what's going on:

1. Import a model made using another app.
2. Set up the model with constraints/modifiers so that it's "rigged".
3. Go over the model's existing shaders so they will look good in Carrara.
4. Add some Carrara shaders along the way, because it's easy.
5. Give the model a once over, then select the main instance that contains everything for that model.
6. Drag and drop the instance of the model to the "My Objects" section of the browser.

Now it seems like everything works. I can start a new project, and drag the complete model from the browser. The rigging and all that stuff is there. But there is one problem. Some of the shaders seem to go to la-la land. And I can't figure out why. Strangely enough, the shaders do show in the list when the model is brought in that way, they just aren't applied.

The idea is to have "Carrara ready" models as freebies or marketplace items. It'd be great if I can have them ready to go in one step. Not by bringing in the model and fixing by dragging and dropping the shaders all over again.
