i got carrara soon after it was released, and was bummed out right away that there was no poser plugin. i emailed metacreations, got the response that there were no plans for one, but that due to carrara's open architecture, third party plugins might be developed. aint heard anymore about it until your post. however, you can export your poser characters as *.obj and import them into carrara, but they won't be very posable. if you are just doing static stuff, this works great. for example, i did this about a year ago (it's been that long sinc i've had time to do fun stuff >;P) by importing poser figures and texturing/rendering in carrara http://www.renderosity.com/viewed.ez?galleryid=7816&Start=1&Sectionid=0&Form.Search=ex%20malterra good luck, i like your cenetaur
