Understand. I usually model it all as one polymesh with lots of named groups. And I use the "convert deformed object to mesh" to "freeze" the subD's. I wish Carrara could derive groups from the sub-D cage, tho -- I hate having to convert to verts then go through everything assigning groups poly by poly. Naming polys is fine by Poser. Creating usemtl statements is harder and I usually make those out of groups.
