* It is strongly recommended that you use DAZ Studio to load the DS version of Songbird ReMix and Export the bird using Collada with DAZ Extensions. Importing that Collada file into Carrara should clear up any issues often found importing from the Poser Runtime. You can then adjust the shaders and drag and drop the bird to the Carrara Browser, thus having a Carrara native version of your bird.

* Carrara (and DAZ Studio for that matter) do not read Poser scaling correctly. The original Songbird Remix CR2 was re-engineered to work with DAZ Studio as a separate version but unfortunately Carrara can't read DAZ Studio files (that feature is broken)So how do we fix the Songbird ReMix model to work with Carrara?  By downloading my [http://www.empken.com/downloads/files/00-CarraraFix.zip Carrara patch kit of course]!

* This is caused by importing from the Poser Runtime. Carrara (and DAZ Studio) do not support internal Poser Propagating Scale commands within the Songbird ReMix series extensively.  It also fails to read the SmoothZones in the hip region when Thigh yScaling is used and radically distort the hup/rump regionThe best solution is to use the DAZ Studio Collada export option described above. If you do not want to use that method, there is a work-around:
 +
** If you are experencing deformed feet, look at the Scale values for one of the feet and apply those values to the rest of the digits on each foot.
 +
** If you are experencing a deformed rump, turn both yScale values in the Thighs to 100%
 +
** If you are experencing deformed wings, check both wing parts and make sure WingFold=0. Allow the BODY section morph to control the Wing Fold
 +
** If you are experencing "Graying" around the Fluff morphs, you'll need to either Hide off/Hide those Fluff areas or adjust the material settings to improve the "look"
