I use max 3.1 and poser in a friend's studio where he have the two programs ( i use it in a pc that he use for "playing" (is a athlon 900 with a geforce1) he have buyed poser pro pack, and it won't work with Max,i don't know why , i explain: i try to load the test file in Max, Max load universe, when i try to load the scene max load a box, then when i scale.... compare that: an error was occurred the, and max close..... could be the Geforce? or is a known bug? hem any suggestion?

I had the same exact problem. What you have to do is uninstall poser, reinstall it, but DONT update it to poser 4.0.3. then install the pro pack then install the 3dstudio max plug in, it should work but only with the poser figures, other figures might still make it crash

After doing the reinstall, I had no problems with any figures - this includes stuff that I did in max exported to poser and brought back into max as a figure.

really blud? I'm still having problems with some of my zygote figures (the knight and the bear) any idea what could be cuasing this?

really blud? I'm still having problems with some of my zygote figures (the knight and the bear) but my origional poser figures work fine.

What's the problem. Do those figures cause max to become unstable or do they not look right in poser (missing faces)? I don't have either of those figures so I can't experiment with them - could be the cr2, the ppp has shown some deficiencies with "parsing" the pz3 as reported by CL. The area to look for are the empty "g" (group lines) in the cr2 (mason found this) add a name after the "g" - it might help max's ppp plug-in

ill try it, but how do i open the cr2 file, in just any text editor?

Yeah, any text editor will do and then do a search for "g".

Hey guys, I have just gotten Poser 4.03 and would like to get Poserpack.When I create a character in Poser and Propack will I have a problem exporting my Poser model to Max 3.1? 3DS or OBJ which is best with or without textures to export into Max 3.1? Thanks very much....

Without the propack, you'll need to ge the habware importer/exporter plugin for max (http://www.habware.com/duck.htm) - be careful about scale, the obj file imports real small. The 3ds option works well as well - please note, when fussing with textures use the "picker" to select the mesh and a multi sub mat will pop up - you'll need to apply the texture to each category. The PPP links the scene and eases the pain of textures, more than likely though you'll have to reinstall poser without the 4.03 upgrade - the ppp does this
