Other than those two, that's it. Prior to the release of Poser 5, CL made it clear they were not going to be developing in house plugin to port the platform to other programs. One could infer that this was done, at the time, due to the financial situation there, but has remained such because of the new viability of the Shade-Poser-Vue circuit. that said, there is someone developing an absolutely awesome looking program to port to Cinema4D that whomps butt over anything I've seen, but, um, I can't for the life of me remember which "kuro" it is . and now that that is out of the way, um, can I ask why Poser 5 isn't being considered all by it's lonesome? It can do the scene as described itself.

cuz everything else like the realism in the lighting and all its just something im going to say that im sure of i can get better and faster production of this vision but im going to do that i can in poser and the rest in cinema but it wont be animated but the part where she puches the curtains open

Poser 5 is capable of producing many of the same effects possible in other applications -- but it does take a lot more farting around with it to get there.

Have you tried looking at GestureMax? It works with 3ds 6. Basically, what it does is it converts a figure from its original Poser rig to 3dsMax bones or Biped, does the skinning or physique modifications, translates all the materials (including transparency), and from there you can animate the character natively in Max. However, it's NOT a perfect translation. Some adjustments to the converted rig are still required. Perhaps that might help you with your goal, I don't know.

You could animate just the curtains opening in poser 5 and composite this into an animation done in cinema4d or whatever.
