Something positive I can say about Carrara 6 Pro. It appears to have a full animation system, with separate key frame timelines for each moved or altered part or prop. Also, once you load your Runtime folder into the Content browser, the Poser content works pretty well. Oddly, for me, Carrara seems to support Poser's pz3 files a lot better than the Daz Studio files which will crash the program.
