Both Poser 4 and Poser 5 import 3ds files - not MAX, though. That's the easy part. Character setup is another story altogether. There are plenty of tutorials and information on creating a posable, animatable figure in Poser. The first one is your Poser manual. There is also a new book called "The Secrets of Figure Creation with Poser 5" (also good for Poser 4 Pro Pack) which is a must have. There are tutorials all over the web - Renderosity, PoserPros, DAZ Arcana, 3DCafe, you name it. And if you become confused or have problems, go to the forums and ask lots of questions.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
