Nice render Stezza... I really don't work at all in Cararra, but I'll try to figure out what's going on... I think I still have Cararra on one of my network machines. I used PMDs on ant lines because of the size of the morph data. The import to DS didn't like those at all. Strange that DS won't load into Cararra, but if I remember right Poser files have always worked a little better than DS ones in Cararra. PM or email me empken @ empken.com with the details...

Some follow-up...

I was able to the DAZ Studio version to import to Cararra using the DAZ Collada export/import without any issue. The missing "morphs" in Poser appear to be all the scaling/body part controls (non-morphs) from some reason Cararra doesn't want to read those despite me label them as "targetGeom"s in the Poser code. The open/close mandibles control for instance doesn't appear in Cararra. That control works the right and left mandible body parts. I don't know Cararra very well, maybe those controls show up in different places than the "morphs" tab?

What the Poserverse needs is a really good bat! With wings that can be adapted to humans. (Hint Hint Ken)

Regarding bats... I've actually been considering making one but there are several rigging challenges. I want my bat to be able to walk (in that creepy way bats do) and be able to sleep (upside down). Getting the wings to do those two things won't be easy. There also a need to give a fair warning about me jumping into a project, don't expect just a generic bat... with 1,100 different bat species my approach would probably 8 +/- species around the world.
