oh, I really do need to write a tutorial I know... export from Poser as an obj file, after deciding what parts of your scene you want to export, default options checked. This will keep your scene easy to deal with. if the scene is complex, I'll do this in stages. I export my surrounding scene first as one obj. Then I export my figures one by one. I import to Carrara from Poser as a vertex object, polymesh per material checked. Autoposition disabled, disable autoscaling checked. voila, you have your scene all in the right place, but its teeny tiny Poser scale. Go to the objects list. Ungroup all the objs you see there, and then select the major parts of your scene as one object. Group them. then you can scale up the new grouped poser scene to over 2100 percent or higher, so Carrara doesn't make a mess of your uvmapping.(do that by clicking the main group for your scene in the obj) even though I have a PC, and could use grouper, I find doing the grouping from Poser itself much easier than doing it in Grouper. I just use grouper to gather my textures in one directory, but you can do that yourself by hand...
