Carrara's ancestor (RDS) had a plugin for Poser, and I'd like to see it return. And its not been because of Eovia why there's not one, its CL not making one for it. As we all know from the Carrara list that there is one finally in the cards from a 3rd party developer for sure, and one possibly from Eovia itself from the rumours I hear. Can't say anything about Corel... as I am not familiar enough with Corel. I can say that some have said that it was only until recently that it was possible to work with CL close enough to make a plugin for my favourite software possible. as for the CL bashing that goes on, a lot is kinda deserved. I can't for the life of me figure out why they didn't spend time working on making the app better at posing and interacting with external renderers, especially the most popular ones used around here, the goodies are nice but the hair doesn't export without a lot of work, its got a lot of issues that needed to be worked out (overly cpu intensive aka no hardware acceleration, group limits, etc). Most of us that are serious about our 3d art don't render in Poser, so the Firefly was an unneeded frill for many too. I'm glad for the clothroom, and glad it exports to obj at least.
