Hi all

I need help with following. Me new to carrara and I would like to /loadimport DS3 scene into carrara8. When I try it it says I can do DS2.3 but not DS3 and the scene does not load. Any ideas?

Thks

Its a very strange behavior but looks that you are right. You can try export to DazCollada too, this will import better in C8, and I think this will be format that all Daz products will talk now.
But my question is always the same: if you can assemble the same scene right inside Carrara, why use DazStudio?? I think that the only answer is that you have an old scene that you want to load at Carrara for render... if you are starting a new one, begin right in Carrara is very more easy to use them DazStudio.

Thks for advise. Yes it are some old scene that I want to try with new lighting. Also I am used to DS3 so much LOL Have great weekend

First off in answer to the original question -- USE the DAZ Collada import/export ! Works just great!

As for GKDantas' comment.

I too am a Carrara junkie, but I have started using DS3A in conjunction with C8P frequently -- for some cimnple yet compelling reasons -- here are 2 :
 
1- If I create a character in Carrara I can export it to DS3 via Collada, the Daz flavor, and in DS3 I can use the fully enabled Animate+  not the neutered Aniblock importer that I have for Carrara :D   As an animator the extra flexibility that Animate+ adds to my use of NLA clips in Carrara is fantastic. 

2-In addition (and yet another reason to export from Carrara to DS3) from DS3A I can export back to Poser at need.  In regards to Animation once more ::: I also use the Motoblocks animation components, and building larger animation components that will work for the entire workflow - work best when I use the customized and geared up characters and take advantage of their Poser only Python scripts to string together long Motoblock components. (Which end up exported and become aniblocks or NLA clips in their own right later)

So while I try to use C8P for everything, my DS3A really does come in handy and I'd fain not do without it. Even Poser has its uses once in a while hehe.

Thks guys. I posted on Dz site to support since Collada export keeps giving errors. Thks for all the good info
