the problem is DAZ not supporting Carrara with Genesis 3 and 8.
They added typographic errors to the bone names that crash Carrara and did some odd things assigning vertices on the toes ( it stuffs up in iClone 6 for me too sometimes)
all they care is that it works in DAZ studio?
You can try the Genesis 8.1 link to Misty's character in my previous post but DAZ need to fix stuff themselves to make it work properly because their mesh is not redistributable.
All others can do is workarounds. For still renders obj export from DAZ studio is your best option.
Animation you need other more complicated solutions, mine is mostly iClone and 3Dxchange FBX import/ exports.
Another way could be FBX export to Poser but there are weightmapping issues.
You need another intermediate program with FBX as straight to Carrara it won't work, I haven't tested Blender and Unreal engine but since other assets such as Mixamo and Unreal assets do work I suspect that could be another option.
I do use Misty's previously available fixed characters too, sadly she has removed them for redistribution.?
oh and Mac you need to contact DAZ support for the FBX extension, it ships with a empty file ? hopefully they still are providing it
