I've exported poser scenes to carrara without problems (excepting the transparency). it will work if you export the obj file (with only "as morph target" unchecked) to a folder (containing all texture maps) on the same level as the carrara folder, then import to carrara using defaults. if the textures don't appear in the render, it may be a memory issue, or you may have forgotten some, or have name problems between the files in your folder and the mtl file. I've found Carrara needs a minimum of 200 MB physical RAM, and one should avoid using virtual memory (Mac OS 9). the transparency issue is very tricky, and depends on whether it's hair, eyes, or other items. I've been waiting for somebody else to write it up ... no luck so far. I would also like to have a FAQ for this forum, but I don't have time to volunteer for that, either 8-(
