Dear all Is it somehow possible to export a wireframe view as paths so that I can use it in Illustrator / Photoshop? or do you know a workaround if it is not possible directly? Thanks for any feedback

I'm not sure, but if you export it as flash you would get it as vectors.. I think... Of course it requires either Pro Pack or Poser 5 to export as flash.

The Dr. Geep prescription available at this link.

Yeah but Dr Geeps method only saves it as a bitmap, and that is useless in this case.

Corel Draw does a pretty good job of converting B&W line art to vector. I would guess Illustrator has the same ability, but I could be wrong.

Load your wireframe into Photoshop. Copy it to a new layer (safety net) and save as wire.psd (second safety net) Set it Image>ChannelMixer. choose desaturate and see that you have a good contrast and continuous lines. Then sharpen the image with unsharp mask (start with some 500, 1,2 , 2). Then threshold to set to black and white. See that you have good, non-broken lines with the thickness you fancy). Now, with only this layer visible, go to the channels palette. The three channels are identical, so Ctrl/Cmd click on one of them. This loads the layer as a selection. Invert the selection to get the wireframe selected. Now go to the paths palette and load as a workpath. etcetc As for Illustrator: can't help you there as I use Xara for vectors and that has a bitmap to vectors convertor.

I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now I'll be mad. (Rumi)

Mateo_Sancarlos, it doesn't really matter with the sess.key after it has timed out.. so it's "safe" now. But you're right, it shouldn't have been posted like that.

Adobe Streamline is a program designed for converting bitmaps into vector art for illustrator. It can be kinda touchy on complex bitmaps, but you should do just fine with wireframe or outline exports from poser. I believe Streamline is pretty inexpensive too.
