In lieu of a full blown poser to carrara plug-in, a useful intermediate step would simply be something that allowed you to associate shaders with materials on import. When working with poser, my process to date has been to group it and save the map file, import, and get the shaders right for all the materials. Then there are typically reposes and reimports. For these, I reimport and drag all the correct shaders over the right body parts: simple but tedious. Once my map and shaders are ready, reimporting would be a snap if there was someway to automatically associate existing shaders and materials. For me, anyway, since I reimport several times (and might do so more if it was easier), the bulk of the time savings would be the automatic shader association. Does such a thing exist already? Marc
