Hi Naomi,

oh yeah Grouper is great but really unnecessary for importing to
Carrara. Though I think it may help with V3 and newer Daz models in
some ways since they have so many skin materials.

Babel reads a PZ3 poser file and collects all your textures for you,
including transmaps. Grouper does a similar thing by collecting the
textures associated with an obj, but Poser doesnt export all that
information into an obj file so its more tedious to do that with
grouper.

I use layers list shaders instead, and export in several different
objs which are then popped into their exact place in Carrara.
Basically I do the scene in one obj, the figures each in their own
objs, and the hair is also exported separately to its own obj.

I promise to write up some of this stuff because its so simple and so
easy to do it this way.

take care, Robin
