if i save a poser file like rib (renderman) wich software will open this file?

In theory, every RenderMan compatible renderer should be able to read it (like PRMan, Aqsis, Pixie, RenderDotC, 3Delight, etc). In practice, there are always slight deviations from the RenderMan standard and every program interprets it a bit differently, so it may require some tweaking.

Aqsis! Hey, my husband is one of the programmers on that project. :-) As for the question, I have NO idea how a rib file saved in Poser would render. I can tell you that Poser doesn't save .obj files properly (it leaves out the transparencies!), and I dunno how well it handles other formats. One other thing to note is that with a rib file you don't really "open" it. It's more like you "send" it to the application to be rendered (I'm not explaining that very well, but I hope the point comes across). bonni

I've heard that Poser's .rib export is flawed or limited to some degree. I was able to render Poser .rib files with BMRT years ago when it was available. I think I had to convert the line endings in the file to Unix format but other than that no problem.

Not any more :) With SR2, Poser 6 should also include transparencies in the exports.
