Quote - Oh, could some one PM tiggersprings and tell him preset sences are the way to go. Make sure your cameras and lights load cenetered, then save it as an easy drop in after you load your figure. My best one is free at the carraracafe.

Peeks in Hi! Thank you.  I'm a bewildered new Carrara 8.5 Pro user.  :biggrin:  I haven't learned much yet.  This thread concerns me a little; I hadn't realized there were tons of issues with the software that I just bought.  But, I guess that's typical of the 3DVerse.  Luckily, I caught it on some sort of "flash" sale gimmick, and used a couon and some gift certificates, so I didn't pay too much for it.  My only previous experience with it came from one of the parred down "Essentials" versions (but it didn't run well on the old PC).

As far as Genesis... I'm a Poser user, who doesn't use DSON (I tried a couple of times to install it, with only frustration as a reward).  I really dislike Daz Studio and have never made much time for it.  So Carrara 8.5 is my first real taste of Genesis 1.  So far, mixed feelings, mostly because of my inexperience with Carrara's cameras and lights... LOL 

On the subject of Genesis 1 compatibility.... The way to make sure that clothing will be compatible is to make sure there's an obj file, if I've read the contents of this thread correctly?  Is that right? I got this outfit of off FastGrab, and it seemed to load ok, but I didn't get my character posed and stuff before I had to shut down (life is chaos). I thought I saved the scene, but I can't find it this morning. LOL

And, for the record, I am a female.  :lol:
