Hm.. interesting.

OK - I googled "Poser2max" and didn't find much more than I've already seen. There was a plugin I got on DAZ3d (I think) something like "pCharacter" something... didn't do much at all for what I'm looking for.

I think the problem I'm having is not with still images but with animations... lots of the tutorials etc for importing Poser into 3DS Max has something to do with OBJ files... exporting an animation in OBJ format is like an image sequence with each file being about 18 or so megs... WAY too big especially when you talk about 1000+ frames.

Hm.. if anyone knows which plugin Markschum is talking about I'd seriously appreciate it because i haven't been able to find much outside of Poserfusion for Poser Pro and that plugin from DAZ. Again, that would be fine if I wanted to render images but I'm looking to do something more like this:

(of course with a little more action but I can't even get Poser characters to move inside of 3DS yet)

Thanks for the help. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for any new upgrade prices.  :)
