I succumbed to Smith Micro's offer to upgrade my Poser 9 to Poser Pro 2014 for about $100. Poser will never replace Carrara for my short animations (I think), but I do own good Poser content that does not work well in Carrara. Plus I own Lightwave, which the Poser Pro version reportedly can link to.

My question: One of the Poser Pro 2014 Extras I bought is an Infinite Skills (the publisher of the great Carrara tutorials by Phil Wilkes) set of tutorials by one Mark Bremmer, a familiar name ...

So, Mark, any comments about Carrara and Poser Pro 2014 and Lightwave? I jumped from Poser (V.7? I own V.9 also) to Carrara when I saw that Carrara could handle Poser content seamlessly, and with more features. Lightwave is great, but I really like using Poser format content for Carrara animations.
