I've been doing some tests trying to get a figure modeled, rigged, and skeleton-attached in Carrara into Poser.  No success so far.  Is this a doomed attempt?  I know that if this fails that I can rig the model in Poser or DAZ Studio.  I'm just curious if this would work.

I thought the collada format might be promising because I had heard in one of the youtube tutorials that Smith Micro wanted to be part of Collada as an industry standard.  But so far, if I use "save as" in C8.5beta, in collada format, and then try to open the file in Poser, I just get the un-rigged mesh.

I've tried many combinations of the choices in the collada export menu when using save as from c8.5beta (172).  I use windows 7 if that matters.

Just testing right now, but my notion is that I would generally use my models in Carrara, but every once in a while might want to use the cloth room in Poser.
