Not the answer Shonner--can't get that close to opening. Drop downs say either not a file that QT understands (the htm) or, when I have changed to .mov a dropdown says a problem with the plugin! I am again having problems with DLoads of Carrara files from the forums, which download as .htm which, when I change to .car won't open in Carrara. And it's not Monday!

When saved, neither movies are accepted by Quicktime for replay. Any solutions appreciated.

This MAY work, Click on your Ball3 to sellect then go to Edit--Promote to Master. (This is allways worth a try when all else seems to fail)

Seeing the fish movie you now have NO OPTION but to show us all the better movies made with the Poser combination! (Please.)

3dXtract Sept 04 Enzyme for C4 bones and skinning.

MrMongo. I have used the Carrara Boning (Chapter20 of manual)and found it comparable to Poser-and you can import the BVH files onto them and, with the current C4 morphing. I would have thought Carrara was sufficient--though I am a learner. Some stuff in back issues of the 3dXtract enzyme on the subject too. I have a feeling Hexagon is going to be a must have--have started sweet talking the other half to build up some "credit"!!

The following is from a discussion about 3ds and obj on the 3dxtract forum if it helps. A SUMMARY??? (Trying to sort the wheat from the chaff) Both file types are subject to revision though 3ds somewhat less than obj. Both file types have individual features, benefits AND limits! Some Apps better intergrate with one rather than the other. Your App may not have the latest version. Every App may modify its interaction depth to that file type both through import or export mode. So many variables are involved that it is impossible to "blame" either importing or exporting Apps for unsatisfactory end results. Finally, it is important to read Your Apps manual or help files on importing and exporting those individual files. As an example, Carrara4 manual p129, OBJ Export (3ds similar) you "save as" for whole scene and "export" for current sellection and ----Check "Convert proceedural shaders to textures".

I have a feeling that Transposer working for Poser6 may be a long, long way off--one reason I have not updated from Poser5-- I hope for many I am wrong. Having Carrara 4Pro I think Poser6 is only duplicating much of what I already have! Anyway, why would anyone need to import into Poser from Carrara???? seems to be a backward approach--Carrara only needs Poser for the figures stuff benefits as it does everything else better!

Have you read the Transposer Help (in Carrara screen Helps) If you haven't got Transposer (now2) get it NOW. It's about the best money you will ever spend! The Poser/Carrara interrelationship is so great it almost makes you cry with pleasure!

Did you download the current issue of 3dXtract? It lists whats on earlier issues-which you WILL want to get. I am a real newbee--even to computors (73yo)-and have found the Quick Tour which comes with Carrara, the Tutes in the Manual, and all the free Tutes from the Eovia site and 3dXtract, combined with the learning from the Renderosity Carrara forum and the 3dXtract forums more than enough. I'me having the fun of my life!

Hexagon will be a separate programme just like Amapi but "specialising" in a certain areas better. If you are into modelling particularly it should be THE special tool. Go back to the Eovia site and click on Hexagon and then click on each of the images for the movies which come on and---droooolll!

PS On this Renderosity site go to Gallery/Carrara.RDS/ALL and also look back at all the stuff other than the last 15 days. Carrara is verrrry WOW!

I think if you look a bit harder at the Eovia site you will find your answers. Especially tutorials and access places for more tutes. Secondly, size and quality don't necessarily go together. Thirdly, in terms of Carrara, Eovia must be the top in terms of updating the App, at times the updates seemed to be every couple of weeks. Thats service to customer problem solving! Lastly, you MUST access the 3dXtract site for continuing tutorial enzymes etc. Have fun. Brian

For example, in the Post Your Challenge Entry thread no-0ne mentions the App used, which I feel is highly important to the viewer.

I meant that it be included each time you show examples etc in a thread please.
