tyining, yes I have. But, it takes alot of work to do it. As long as you don't overkill your scene, Studio Max renders super fast, you can import Poser figs. I imported Poser people, Daz people but not with a lot of fluff, I just wanted a simple scene to see if it would work. I'm not sure where to post animation just yet. I have an older version of Max. It's a bit tricky to import everything but once you get the hang of it, it gets easier.

You can build the scene in Poser & export as 3ds so it saves the textures, import into max and save it as a max scene. The one draw back maybe Poser morphs. I haven't imported a morphed figure yet. I'm still learning how to get them to walk. in Max. ;)

I just lack some of the plugins at the moment.
