Okay, I took this information from the DAZ Carrara forum as authoritative - maybe I'll go correct the poster :).  But what you say is closer to what I gathered from the product pages - there really isn't any definitive information there - keep the details murky, ya know.

It's funny that you mention how horrid the native import is.  The reason being that Carrara used to be a MetaCreations product (the same guys who initially brought us Poser).  The other reason is that I've read that they used the "Poser SDK" - though this could be a reference to Transposer instead and some JA who thought that he understood how Poser works winged the native import - good luck.  Well, if these are the results of such a close relationship and nearly direct access to Poser's internal workings - I am afraid to think on it further...

All of my woes with interPoser Pro are directly related to the fact that I don't have access to Poser's internal workings (only the viewed results) and I'm trying to emulate them within Cinema 4D - which is about as far away from Poser's universe as you can get.  At least DAZ Studio has one advantage - it is it's own application.  It does not need to go from Poser to some other artifice.  It can make the artifice as Poser compliant as desired.
