are you not able to save 'em as a carrera native format?

In Vue 5 infinate you can load in a character, as a pz3, then save it as a .vob file. then load it into your scene as a .vob, you can even light the figure,add a bit of scene, maybe their immidiate surroundings, chair,table, whatever......., then group all that together, and save that as a .vob object. usefull if you are happy with the character setup, but are unhappy with the surroundings, as you can just start over with the charcter all set up, it is also less memory intensive than the pz3 file.
