there's probably an easier way to do this but i have found this to be helpful. let's say ur building a scene or an animation and you want to add another pose to a character from the pose library, but ur character has moved. when u add the pose he moves back to the zero position and rotation.  when u move your characers to make a new scene i find it is a good idea to move everything to a new keyframe. then when u give a character a new pose just go to his hip and press the arrow to get the different hip prameters. Encircle with the cursor any hip parameters u want to keep from the first frame (probably xtran, ytran, and ztran (maybe y rotate) and drag them to your new keyframe and the position of your character will be restored with the new pose.

it crashes now and then but for me for the most part it is working. i kind of like the way u can be selective about what u import and i like the way daz stays on. it crashed when i tried to import lights. it is beta. for beta i think it's doing better than should be expected.

i usually make my figures with wings 3d sometimes i use amorphium 3 and hexagon to help out. then i rig everything in poser 8 and then do some animation there and rendering there. i find poser is much easier for rigging stuff than carrara 6 pro. i like naming all my materials in wings 3d it makes it easier for the rigging in poser. carrara 6 pro has more gimmicks i just can't seem to get them to work as well as poser. i can't get the modeling stuff to work as well in carrara as i can in wings 3d. then sometimes i will do some texturing and scenes and animation in carrara. i really like the work flo in the story board in carrara but still i find poser and daz do nice things too. i often bring my figures into daz and bryce too and find that thay have little things that work nice too. here's a youtube where i used some of my own characters mostley without carrara http://www.youtube.com/charliexxxmc#p/u this one the animation and rigging was mostly carrara. and this one it was a mix of a lot of things but a lot was carrara. http://www.youtube.com/charliexxxmc#p/u/6/_0V1sXgNTBg.

thank you.

i have a video in the animation section of renderosity showing right now that was done in carrara. the only part that was done in poser was the part where the alien girl talks. It's titled Monster Wars. to find animations just click on features at the top of th page.  another recent one i've done with carrara is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGucwYkAeJo  and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzDoNwjjmCY. they certainly aren't as good nor as elaborate as the little bear short, but they were fun to do.

very eggciting.

i was having problems too but i got mine up. it looks like i was starting out with a space in the front.

looks beautiful.

i've had to backspace the last space in the cut paste out.before with other daz products. i was thinking ththat might be ur problem.

yeah analog dude. i'm right where u r. was a commodore 128 man. got the carrara 6 pro deal too. but i did download the beta 7 bryce. i'm dying for the upgrade from 6 pro to 7 pro to drop too. the landscape stuff is so cool in carrara i almost wonder if i need bryce.

this stuff is really exciting. keep the renders coming.

thanx plutom. i was afraid that there might have been something wrong with just my software.

this is a little related to poser 8 characters. i just tried creating a new face with alyson casual. the one where she's dressed and they tell me it's not a character the face room understands.
