Hi all!

Been away from Carrara for a while.  Have a new 'puter and just installed Carrara but can't get it to pick up the contents from DAZ Studio...  Any suggestions?

Carrara in truth cant read Daz Studio content, only scene files, and not very well. Carrara can read very well Poser stuff.

Thanks for the reply!

Seems to me that it picked up DAZ's content the last time I had them both installed.

In C7 DAZ introduced the ability to import DS's .daz scene files but that feature never worked very well. With C8 they switched to using Collada as a transfer format between those two.

Yes, but I think that we will have more about that in C8.5, since they will introduce Genesis figures to Carrara... Carrara will read the Genesis file format.

Thank you, GKDantas...

 

Maybe I worded my original post wrong.

 

I am reinstalling DAZ Studio 3 and Carrara 8.  I had them both installed before and Carrara showed ALL of the installed content in DAZ.  I just don't recall how I did it.  I KNOW that I did it the way it's meant to be done.

 

ANy one know HOW?
