Ok. Info you need some corrections.

"Poser 6 has been rock solid and they even threw in a complete modeling and animation program with it - Shade."

This was only thrown in with prerelease ordering. So it wasn't "thrown-in" Also, I have heard from many users that Poser 6 was actually a drastic slowdown in performance, and many have had issues with rendering, etc.

"They also threw in Magic Sketch that allows you to draw a 2D shape and have a 3D object automatically built from it that you can import into Shade and save. (I love to play around with this for quick background stuff)."

This is a laugh. Essentially this is the commercial version of Teddy. Or OpenTeddy an opensource adaptation of the Teddy program. You can see them here:

"Let's see if I can summarize this. You bought a plug-in from Eovia that is supposed to let you work with one of E-Frontier's product, that being Poser 6. It doesn't work and crashes. Now you are mad at E-Frontier! "

That is incorrect. Have a look at the Transposer homepage. A quote: "Working in Carrara 4 with Poser characters has never been more simple or satisfying. TransPoser 2 builds on the capabilities of the first version by adding support for Poser 5 dynamic hair, lighting and texture."

http://www.eovia.com/products/carrara_addons/transposer.asp

No where on that page does it say that it will work with Poser 6. Its odd for someone with the name "Infocentral" you'd think you'd be more informative.

Now to be fair to 3rdimension his question on getting Poser 6 figures into Carrara via Transposer. Well as of now there is no support. And Eovia's statement is that as soon as they have access to the Poser 6 SDK they will update Transposer to support Poser 6.

Also, if you do a search of the Poser and this forum there are a few workarounds, not sure of there success because I rarely use Poser anymore. This is just one of the threads I found on Poser 6 and Transposer:

Goodluck. Hope Eovia gets the SDK soon.
