    He looks like Poser James (who I always thought was cute).

    What's the deal with DSON? Can we use those in Carrara or what are the limits?

    I believe Genesis 2 Male / Michael 6 works fine in Carrara 8.5, as does the Female version.

    So if a model here in the store says DSON, it works in Carrara? There are some things I passed over because the store says it's DSON for DS.

    All Daz Studio stuff these days is saved as DUF files which Carrara can use - older stuff was saved in a variety of formats (.ds etc) but these can be used by loading into DAZ Studio and resaving as a DUF file. As I understand it, DSON provides the companion files for Poser users, but you don't need these for Carrara as it loads and uses DUF natively.

    Yes. I am a total newbie with Carrara, haven't tried anything complicated yet, still playing around getting used to the interface and the dials etc.

    However I did manage to load a DUF of a clothing item into Carrara.

    Admittedly all I then did with it was to export as an obj so I could put it into Poser and use it as a model to make some new textures for it, but that is another story.

    And you do terrific textures if I may say so! Anyine who has not checked out Cholhole's Space (see link on her post) you should do so immediately!

    Thanks Phil. I have not done many for a while, as I use an older version of poser, so didn't get into Genesis, but that may change now that I have Carrara, if I get to grips with it.

    I am finding it difficult, after more than 15 years using Bryce :roll:

    Can I suggest you have a look here:
    http://www.infiniteskills.com/training/learning-carrara-8.html

    There are quite a few freely available chapters, including some basics on getting around in Carrara which you may find useful. It's fast and easy once you get used to it!
