Subject: Transposer question


DocMatter ( ) posted Wed, 05 March 2008 at 9:54 PM · edited Tue, 05 November 2024 at 4:36 PM

I created a scene in Carrera with some figures that I decided needed to have dynamic clothes instead of the conforming clothes.  I re-created the entire scene in Poser 6 with the dynamic clothing and imported it into Carrera for rendering with Transposer.  It looks like crap.  The textures for everything just don't look right when Transposer imports them in.
Is it possible to import just the one figure with dynamic clothing into my Carrera scene so I can keep the rest of the scene looking the way I want it?
Thanks!

I hope you were using Carrara!

Did you try saving your Poser work as a simple pz3 file and, then, just importing as that?

I have done that several times, importing a poser scene into an open carrara scene. I used the simple C6 import, not transposer. It gives you multiple camera1's and universes, but still works. BUT: I have never tried it with dynamic clothing. Good luck.

Oops, forgot: before you save the poser file, delete the lights. When you get the file into C6 you may need to delete ground.

After toying with it, I figured out how to import just one figure with dynamic clothing into an existing Carrera scene.  After running the cloth simulation in Poser, I exported the figure and clothes as an obj. and then imported that into my Carrera scene.  I had to tinker with the scaling and I'm still toying with the import settings, but so far its a heck of a lot better than importing the whole Poser scene.

Odd.  Might be some problem in the Poser files that Carrara is stumbling on.  I had a corrupted texture map recently that Poser dealt with by not loading it, but Carrara crashed completely on.

For full dynamic clothes, set up the animation in Poser, do the dynamics simulation, save the file.  Then open that file in Carrara, with "keep link to Poser file" selected.  That, at least in my experience, is how you get the entire run of the dynamics into a Carrara scene.  Even if you don't chose to render an animation, I like being able to pick the best frame of the simulation from within Carrara.

yeah, I do that too, but for some reason the lighting and everything just doesn't seem to look right.  What's the best scaling to use when importing a pz3 file into Carrera?  I've been using the default 20;1.
