Thanks Jim! Glad to know I've wasted the last eight years.... I will say this though. If anyone's still got RDS 5.0 or 5.5, I would advise you to upgrade to Carrara 3 and get the transposer plugin. You won't regret it. Everything is better, modeling tools, rendering engine, particle effects, HDRI, there's now a terrain editor, an atmosphere editor, and a plant editor, in addition to meta-shapes, bones, morphs, all kinds of new materials...... if all I had was Carrara 3 (with Transposer) and Poser, I could still be happy.
