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:
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!

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?
