I'm having a problem with a prop I'm building in Carrara for Poser 4 Pro Pack. I'm making a boot, with the leather upper, sole, heel, and lacing hooks each as separate vertex objects. When I made the hooks, I just made one and duplicated it to make all the other hooks. I placed the duplicated hooks where I wanted them on the boot upper. Then I grouped all the objects in the boot. Since I'm using this as a prop in Poser, I exported the grouped boot as an obj file. The problem is, when I import the obj file into Poser (or any other program for that matter, including back into Carrara), all the hooks are piled on top of each other in the same place, which is nowhere near where I put them originally. It ends up looking like I've only got one lacing hook on the boot embedded somewhere in the center of the shin, but there are actually 24 hooks in that spot. What the heck is going on and how do I fix it? I'm using Carrara 1.5.
