Could someone please tell me what 3D product I can buy TODAY! that will enable me to create a poser model or modify "the" poser model in the box. I am a 3D Max user but it does not have an OBJ import.

Rhino is a good program,and if I am correct, you can export a poser model as 3ds format. I use rhino for a lot of the stuff I make. www.rhino3d.com is where you can download a demo and check it out. Davo

Rgino won't run on Mac, and it "will not be ported"!!!

Actually the makers of Rhino said it will work with a Mac with some kind of program that emulates pc, and I don't understand the "ported" part. Davo

DAVO Ported is programmer-eze for transported. basically its the changing of the code base so the program runs on another machines native operating system.

Simply choosing to export your model as a .3ds to import into 3D Max may help, as mentioned above. :-)

Ummm, well, I'm starting Ray Dream on the Mac, and it looks good. This week's MacAddict magazine also has a free modeller on their disc--Vidi Lite. I haven't installed it, so I don't know how it is. That's the January 2001 issue, you can probably get it in any good US computer or magazine store. Best Buy or Mediaplay should have it, maybe Waldenbooks, too. If you can dig up a MacAddict disc from October 99, they had Stratavision and Pixels on there, but I don't know if the makers are still providing the free code key you need to make them work. Pixels seems very good for organic-type modelling. Or, you can download the new Strata 3D free from their website: downside is that it's complicated and doesn't come with a manual at all. :/ I think it's at www.strata.com
