I just thought I'd share a little discovery... Poser is pretty good for easily creating/animating characters. 3DS MAX is a better at other stuff like modelling architeture etc... So I figured if I could combine the two that'd be perfect. But 3DS MAX seems to have a hard time importing Poser 4 figures... I lose clothing and textures. The solution I came up with fits certain situations (including mine). Render your poser animation on a blue background. Then render your max animation. Then, there is a special function in Adobe Photoshop where you can merge the two into one clip and have your poser animation the foreground and the max animation the background. Adobe does this by elimating the blue background in your poser animation (actually it can be any colour background, not just blue)... Anyways, it's pretty cool and easy when it fits your needs....

Arg... I meant Adobe Premiere in the article above

Hi! Nice to know someone else has premiere! I've got Premiere 5.1a, which feature is this you are talking about? I'd love to try it out. Currently my animation is just to huge to share with the forum (until I can figure out how to compress that sucker into an mpeg or something..). Anyhow...if you wouldn't mind showing me a few pointers on how you did this I'd be grateful! Thanks PAN~

That is a total coincidence. I just wrote a tutorial on how to composite Poser figures onto bluescreen backgrounds in Premiere. Check through the last day of posts, and you will find all the details you need to get it done right. co(V)(V)union

You can also just render a Poser pic & export in .TIF . Then in Premiere choose the Transparency/Alpha (must be in video track B or higher to use transparency). TIF automatically ALpha out any black background. Pack

Hey thanks...good to know...
