Problems with Oso3D Pixie Dragon

Hi everyone,

I got myself the Oso3D Pixie Dragon. Though, I bumped into some issues.
It doesn't load properly. All that actually loads is the Daz Dragon 3. The WingFeathers only load as some skeletal whatever, and using some of the textures/matierals ends up with an error message "Error: node name://%40selection/Dragon: not found".

Any ideas or tips & tricks how to get the pixie dragon to work with Carrara 8.5 Pro? Is there a workaround? Or is this now the newer type of content that does simply not work in Carrara like Genesis 3?

Since it's close to midnight here, I might not answering for a couple of hours. (Living in Europe :))

    I don't own it but you probably need to load it on to dragon 3

    if it's geografts the UVmapping will be broken in Carrara too so a second geograft needs to be fitted to the first one with the first one hidden

    doing a scene subset in that Carrara plugin DAZ studio and loading that is a good idea

    also make sure any geografts or conformed not parented to the dragon

    DAZ studio does that because they use hierarchical poses so it's the default 

    but Carrara hates it

    Thank you so much. Can't wait to try this after work :)

    Update.
    So I experimented a bit with Carrara and Daz Studio and I am really saddened that I can't get it to work.

    The feathers do not show in Carrara. So my guess is, that carrara cannot display these feathers. I guess that it is something only DazStudio can display... I tried export the scene including the dragon as a poser format, but that did not work at all - it simply did not create the file.

    In Carrara, after importing the duf file, all you see is just the blank skeleton. It also can't be conformed to the Daz Dragon 3 :( it throws an error or crashes Carrara.

    ​Is there a way to convert those feathers and make them attuneable? (I really hate using Daz Studio, it simply can't do 90 % of the things I need - and the UI and Navigation is a clunky nightmare compared to Carrara)

    at least others know not to buy it for Carrara and if bought in under 30 days you can return it.

    yeah feathers probably use DAZ studio features and geografts are a known issue

    I am no help as don't own it

    You already helped me to verify that this is not going to work. I will look into returning it. Thank you so much :)
