Re: The search continues...
-----------------------------------
I spent about two hours this morning getting the 911 993 GT2 to work as a Poser prop. I decided it make a good Work In Progress thread; so I'm going to post a few images here.

Both the 3ds & obj versions loaded into Carrara 2 without problems; but both versions needed tweaking to work right in Poser 5.

I spent 1 half hour in Carrara assigning materials to the obj version, then exported as obj.  The model now had separate material zones; but needed to have the zone groups modified, and some of the normals needed to be reversed. Poser's "grouping tool" is a bit of a pain; but since I still use P5, I really didn't have any other option to get the normals facing forward. (I considered asking someone here with P6 or P7 to flip normals for me; but decided that I could use the practice, since I hadn't done it in a while.)

After normal reversing, and material reassisgning; I added a few simple colors to the zones, and did a test render. The model now works as a prop in Poser without trouble. I hope to feel inspired enough to UV map it (So that I can add realism to the taillights, and Porsche logo), and perhaps run it though the setup room, and make it into a figure (so the doors & wheels will be posable); but that will have to wait for another day.
