CGBMike - here's a link to an avi version. It's much cleaner than the wmv.
You'll need the DivX codec to view it.

Raymar3D - I have the same probem importing a DAZ saved scene into Carrara. You would think they would import nice and neat but nope. I thought it was just something screwy on my end. Even though Carrara will die if you load a DAZ saved scene you can load any DAZ prop/item or scene into Carrara as long as it's not the DAZ save. If you follow me. If not, let me know and I'll explain it better.
I used to use MAX (v8) a lot but I got really frustrated with the character rigging. I spent close to a year doing nothing but and I never ended up with something that was good enough to use.
It was during a moment of pulling my hair out over the rigging that I found DAZ and the prerigged characters. I jumped right on them because it freed me up from having to spend any more time on the rigging and I could jump right in and start shooting my scenes.
I would be interested in taking a look at the Character Studio though.
Everything is worth revisiting IMO.
Thanks for the offer and let me know if you're able to open your Daz stuff in Carrara.
Oh yah - are you trying to open the DAZ file with the 'file' menu at the top of screen or throgh the runtime folders at the bottom?
