Hello, I actually skipped the Carrara part and have solved the problem. I discovered that importing the .obj files into poser with only "make polymesh normals consistent turned on" will allow you to position and export the clothing item without any weiredness. Just import your base object file (p4 nude man/woman) then place the prop or clothing item and export that. Then merge them in compose and you have a figure with clothes that don't wig out too badly. I could make a tutorial if anyone thinks this would be useful to know. Thanks for all your help, Matt Baucco
