bwtr, You have my attention, if I might ask a few more questions. Let's say I wanted to do EVERYTHING in Poser, but render in Carrara5Pro. Naturally, Transposer is my bridge. Can you tell me what WON'T work? For instance, if I have extensive shaders on the skin of my model for noise, color variation, etc., and reflect shaders in the eyes for realism, do the effects I see in a Poser render come out the same in Carrara with little or no tweaking? Second, about the dynamic hair. If my shot is a close up with intense dynamic hair, and I calculate a sym in Poser for it, when the scene goes over to Carrara for render, does C5P know how to handle it? Will it render the individual strands, just as my Poser engine would? Lighting. I am getting good at Poser's depth map shadows at extreme settings for indoor shots. When I take such a scene, which contains no Poser IBL or AO lighting, into Carrara, will the effect be the same, or will I need to learn Carrara's lights completly? Appreciative of your information. ::::: Opera :::::
