Hi snekkis, I've had the same problem but it's no big deal. I believe it's only from Poser to Carrara too since I haven't had the same problem going from Bryce to Carrara. Here is the deal as I understand it. The .obj file requests surface textures from the .mtl file. However, C2 (or C1 for that matter)cannot read .mtl files. Consequently, for each separate group in the .obj file, Carrara tries to grab the .mtl file but it can't. Here's how I handle it: Just keep clicking "Cancel" in the "Cannot locate file" warning window until it goes away. For a single Poser file there are about 20 groups so you will have to click "Cancel" about 20 times. After that, the file imports just fine with all of the colors and Texture maps where they belong. Good luck! Mark
