Quote - Poser is great, its easy and fast for certain things but so damn hard to get into any of the major 3D apps. I hope the tools for Poser to Blender get finnished.

Are the Poser-to-Blender tools being created as a built-in function for Blender, or as a user-made custom script?  There might be some hope for a built-in Blender function.  They managed Collada, which is apparently a problematic format.  But I've seen half a dozen user scripts which tried to get Poser files into Blender, since I began paying attention (I used to host one such project on my site, years ago).  The trouble with such scripts is (on the Blender end) that Blender keeps changing everything, thus breaking all the scripts.  On the Poser end, the trouble always seems to be joints, and not just with Blender, but with conversion to any format or import into any program.  Poser Python doesn't give us useful joint information access, and you run into other trouble if you try to convert Poser joint data from a cr2.  Collapsing Poser's multiple weight maps into a single map is... tricky.  :lol:  As the effectiveness (or the lack of such) of Poser's native "Single Skin" mode shows.  The zone-based joints are not really documented, so converting them to weights without having Poser do it for you is apparently not easy.  Kuroyume figured out the sphere zones for his C4D I/O program, but now we have cylinders, multiple zones, and even more complications.

I'm noting all of this not to say "it'll never happen", but to voice once again my belief that we need some expanded Poser Python tools for such things.  If they would give us access to the joint information with PPy, we could do a lot.  Right now it's... tricky.  :lol:  If the Poser Team would give us better tools or more information, it would sure help us to help them improve Poser.  :laugh:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
