I got Carrara mainly in order to model objects to use in Poser, but it looks like I need to think about the renderer too. The P5 Firefly engine is such an enhancement of the P4 that I've been happy with it. I ran into a basic problem with Poser-ready modelling in Carrara that I'd like to see a tutorial on. I assumed that the clothes modelling process would work like this: 1. Convert figure to obj and import to Carrara. 2. Take figure to vertex modeller. 3. Build clothing item around figure. 4. Use Boolean subtraction to remove figure. 5. Replace interior of clothing item with "thickness." 6. Export clothing item to obj. Two catches. First, I couldn't get the figure to the vertex room. Bijou's import switches solved that. But two, I can't do a Boolean subtraction of the figure part (rCollar) from the halter top after I build the latter. This is way off topic, but the right crowd to ask. Anyone can point me to an answer? Thanks, Mick
