JD, After you have created a prop in Carrara, and if you have used real world dimensions. (i.e., used feet and inches, or metric measure) I suggest that you: 1. save your object in .obj format 2. run Poser and ... 2. import your object into Poser as follows: ... UNcheck "Percent of Standard Figure Size:" ... Import the .obj ... the new object should be "selected" [i.e., it's name should appear above the parameter dials] (the new object may not be visible - don't worry, it will be) Set the "Scale" of the new object to 1.05%. You can easily do this by clicking on the "numerical value" just above the "dial." The number will change to a small text window that you can edit. Enter "1.05" and "click" outside the small text window, or just hit "Enter." Now go to [menu] "Figure" ---->"Drop Figure to Floor" You should now see your object on the "ground" and in the center of the Poser studio. Before you do anything else, "export" the object from Poser (make sure to UNcheck the ----> "export as morph target") and immediately re"import" the object. This causes the numerical value of the "Scale" of your object to be 100% instead of 1.05%. You now have your object in Poser and can save it to the prop library. Any questions, feel free to ask. cheers, dr geep <-----------------------(still in the "import" business) ;=]

Remember ... "With Poser, all things are possible, and poseable!"
