Possible and how best to export a Poser animation to Flash

gpacioli ( ) posted Sat, 25 December 2004 at 5:34 PM

Joe Strata says it can't be done.

export to a series of stills. import each still as a single frame into flash. or, select all and cast to time. but not directly from poser.

I've seen it had an option to save as .swf in the animation file formats but when I tried it in Poser 5 it didn't work out so well since I couldn't read the swf. I have done the render to .jpg each frame and import them 1 by 1 and it works pretty good.

Haven't tried it but you might look at SWFTools which is supposed to have jpg2swf and avi2swf capabilities. Not a direct option but possibly useful.

heres one shot at it. black and white only at this time. Look for the index like called inkcmd

gpacioli ( ) posted Mon, 27 December 2004 at 5:34 PM

yeah! that is it.

Inkulator? I was reading the pdf file and it didn't mention anything about animating with it but it sure shows a B&W animation with Poser 5 on the opening screen. Have you tried this program out?

InfoCentral ( ) posted Tue, 28 December 2004 at 1:45 PM

I guess I should say Ink9000 not Inkulator. I did notice that there is a command line renderer. I guess this is where the animations are done. But what about Poser's own Sketch Designer. Isn't it possible to produce the same thing with it?

dhenton1000 ( ) posted Tue, 28 December 2004 at 2:39 PM

infocentral-- The inkcmd feature is not in the manual. The reference page is all there is. The idea is to use poser to produce a series of obj files, then create a batch file that calls the inkcmd exe for each obj file, and turn it into an *.ai file. Flash then will recognize these as a sequence and pull them in. That's how I did the animations that you see on the page.

Content Advisory! This message contains nudity

When I export Poser to Flash (because to publish on the web) I get a crappy cartoon like figure. Surely Poser-to-Flash works better than that --- or else what's the use of exporting to Flash anyway --- I am stuck using all Macintosh software and hardware --- can't afford to start over with .obj system. What do you think I should do other than 'dump this thread and search' ?

Save to AVI and convert to SWF using SwishVideo. You'll find an example of one I did on my www.lostin3d.com Opening Page.

Thanks, you are very helpful and I tried what you said and it worked ! I am now trying to convert .obj files to files I can open in any of the programs that broke me to buy viz. photoshop, illustrator, strata cx, fireworks, text edit, note pad, gif maker, flash, --- what's the deal with .obj files --- how can I learn more about converting files back and forth? I really like Poser and want to become agile with it and nimble. Thanks again for your helpfulness.

You can convert OBJ's and many other 3D file formats using Accutrans from this link:

Thanks Steve, There I go, stuck again. Accutrans is PC only and I was dumb for Apple.

SteveJax ( ) posted Mon, 10 January 2005 at 8:00 AM

Hrmmm...Well since you've gone and stumped me there all I can suggest is a google search on "3D File Conversion".

gpacioli ( ) posted Mon, 10 January 2005 at 11:15 AM

Hey, Great Suggestion! I know to do it but didn't think of it in the heat of battle. Thanks.

Look under the topic forums over on the right. There is a Macintosh forum. They can probably help you with more information on 3D applications for the Mac.
