that when you import some DAZ content into Carrara (like the First Class Stateroom, for example) the shaders come in screwed up?  Consistently I find extreme highlights which must be removed, even on cloth surfaces (which look ridiculously plastic until fixed).  Furthermore, on many shaders the bump is turned up to some ridiculous max of 350 or 500.  This happens all the time.

I usually go through and fix everything once, then save the object or scene in my objects for later use.  It's still a pain, though.

One other thought while I'm on the subject.  Has anyone else made the highlight changes and noticed that you can open the color picker and just click on the current setting (don't move it at all) and the extreme highlight disappears leaving a normal looking shader?  This seems strange.

All thoughts welcomed on this subject.
