Thanks for the info so far, guys! Hi, Lobo. Good to see a fellow Blender user here. I felt like I was cheating on my wife when I made this purchase, but I really need outdoor scenes and stuff that I'm not yet able to make in Blender, so Carrara looked useful for that kind of thing, and the price was finally right.

Anyway, I know about OBJ of course, but will plants and terrain made in Carrara export to obj too? I know sometimes things of high complexity are created in some software using proprietary means, like particles, which can't be exported to model formats like OBJ. I'm hoping that's not the case here in Carrara with plants and terrain. I know atmospheres and stuff can't be exported unless I render them. So that would be my next question, but I'll save it until the first one is definitively answered, so I don't comfuse anyone with tons of questions.

I don't use Poser, but I was hoping the Daz Studio content I have will work in Carrara. Daz says it does. That would be a big help, to have characters from Studio in Carrara, then sent over to Blender for final render. Assuming posing and stuff is easier in Carrara. Do Daz characters have to be rigged, or do the come rigged in Carrara format too? I will address more concerns shortly, but these are my questions for now....

Can I export plants and terrain from Carrara as OBJ?
Can Daz Studio content work in Carrara, and will I need to rig it first?
I assume there's no plugin to export directly from Carrara to BLender, and keep scale and convert rigging and stuff?
