According to the Carrara Dev. team, that was their intended Bones support was a good Poser importer. They knew that it wouldn't be ready for Carrara's ship date, but intended on releasing it later. I'm not sure where these plans are now that the products have been sold to different companies.

Getting a little back to original thread. IK and bones are different. They are often used together, but I've seen other applications that had IK, but not bones. You can even have bones without IK, in which case you have to do all the motion yourself, but the bone still deforms the mesh. I believe trueSpace also had IK before they had bones, it's not unusual.

Marque, If you are interested in what kind of output you could get, feel free to send me a scene. I could render it in Toon! and send the results back for you to check out. Eric Winemiller Digital Carvers Guild Freeware and commercial 3D extensions http://digitalcarversguild.com

You can skip the glow, it's actually slightly faster since there are no shader calculations. Set Anthing Glow's Color parameter on Light Color and use a Gel to fine tune control how it emits light. Anything Glows can run off of the Light Color, the Object's Color, or the Object's Glow. Eric Winemiller Digital Carvers Guild Freeware and commercial 3D extensions http://digitalcarversguild.com

Hmm, I didn't run into the same problem. Drop an email to Brian. He lists this email address on the contact us link webmaster@losthorizonsoftware.com. He's a friendly helpful guy. Good Luck, Eric Winemiller Digital Carvers Guild Freeware and commercial 3D extensions http://digitalcarversguild.com

headgamer, LHS stuff is pretty cool and this is how you get to it. There should be a new button on your toolbar that looks like clouds with the letters LHS. That's your volumetric clouds. The Noise deformer and morpher are on your Modifiers tab. Just select an object and click on the gear in the properties panel. The Noise tweener is with the rest of the tweeners. Drop an object on the screen move the time line and then move your object so you have a new keyframe. Click between the two keyframes and it will bring up the tweener info on the properties panel. Click on the name of the tweener to select the Noise tweener. Good Luck, Eric Winemiller Digital Carvers Guild Freeware and commercial 3D extensions http://digitalcarversguild.com

If you turn the Cast Shadows off for your glass object, you don't need to take the speed hit for Light Through Transparancy. Eric Winemiller Digital Carvers Guild Freeware and commercial 3D extensions http://digitalcarversguild.com

Arcady, For windows I use this formula most of the time. Color:Value = 0 Highlight:Value = 90 Highlight:Value = 90 Reflection:Value = 10 Transparancy:Value = 90 This gives you reflections, highlights and allows you to see through it. The trick, as long as your close to 100% transparancy is to turn Cast Shadows off on whatever you are using for Glass. It's much faster than lighting through transparancy and in most cases people won't notice the difference.

The light effects aren't available for any of the infinite lights; Distance, Moon, and Sun. Eric Winemiller Digital Carvers Guild Freeware and commercial 3D extensions http://digitalcarversguild.com

arcady, Typically when I am trying to make a model symmetrical I: 1. delete one side 2. select the other side and duplicate with symmetry 3. line them up 4. weld But, Poser expects the facets to be in a particular order so this won't work when creating a morph target. Morph targets will probably be a manual process, though you can check your symmetry by selecting points and seeing if they are the same on both sides. Keep in mind also that most natural things are not perfectly symmetrical and a little variation helps the believability of your model.

I played around with it a little more and was able to recreate the problem. Seems soft shadows don't work with transparent objects. Eric Winemiller Digital Carvers Guild Freeware and commercial 3D extensions http://digitalcarversguild.com
