Hello
I am working on an animation and Carrara 6 (and I finally got it to update) will open the pz3 scene just fine and render it. However when I save it as a car file..it appears to save it but it will not open the saved file.
It will load it and note the percentage progression and then when it gets close to 100% it just hangs. It does this with all files yet will almost instantly import any pz3 file.
Any suggestions and thank you.

I have had Carrara do this on a couple of files. Try opening a blank document and importing your file. This might work.

Had my hopes up for it didnt work..just hangs. Thank you for the suggestion.

I just tried this with C6 std. I imported the P7 scene, then deleted the poser ground and lights and cameras (important) before saving as a C6 file. C6 opened the new scene file just fine.
It might matter whether your P7 pref's are set to allow binary external morph targets and have compression turned on.

Thank you I will try that. The problem is that it used to import these same scenes....

The evil inconsistent problem bug. That was how I discovered that the binary morph option in P7 matters. I have a utility that requires it be turned on. .. and another that requires it be off. Aargh!
