Quote - seems theres a lot of confusion with  poserfusion. its a powerful tool. i dont know how most people use it but heres my workflow...ill try to make this short and simple...

1. create scene in poser.

2.import into 3dsmax.

3.add pointcache modefier to each figure...carefully name cache files so you know which figure it goes to... record movement.

4.select all figures,props.

5.clone as copy.

6. dont deselect anything ...rightclick convert to editable mesh.

7.edit-select invert-delete.... gets rid of old poser files.

8.add pointcache modifier for each figure. load cache files you recorded earlier...you now have  a super stable animation that you can edit or add other  modifiers to.the original poser poser files crash if you try to do much with them.

...i can elaborate further if there is interest in this subject...

it works for me,I dont have a degree took quite a while for me to figure this out using trial and error i havent found much documentation on the subject, besides... who wants to read technical stuff anyways lol.

 so my response to the origional post is.... hell yeah... grab poserpro and with patience you can do just about anything you want with figure animation. this is one of the most powerful softwares out there... greately underestimated ...IMHO.

Thanks for the info.  I've started using 3DS Max in the last few months and it's incredible but I want to use it in conjunction with Poser Pro.  I'm going to try your modus operandi.
