"QUALITY TIP FOR SM:
Go to the Reallusion forum and try to figure out why there are so
many ex-Poser users on there, happily animating :-)
That is all."
I use Iclone pro with 3D exchange pro
this does not make me an "ex- poser user"
Just a person who creates REAL TIME poser compatible
figure motion in Another program.
For those considering it ..
it works for me like this:
Take any poser human from as far back as the millenium 1
generation( M1,V2)
up to the overhyped Daz Genesis 2 HD blah blah.
In the default "T-pose" Export a single frame BVH file from poser
and import to Iclone 3D exchange pro.
IN 3D exchange there are a few default retargeting templates:
Custom( requiring tedious Manual bone remapping)
3D max Biped type 1
3D max Biped type 2
Maya human IK
And Daz genesis.
Choose the "Daz genesis" template
"but why?? I want to apply motion to Mikki 2, or P6 jessie
or Vic & Mike 4" ..one might ask
Well send your thanks DAZ for contracting with Real Illusion to
implement genesis Support.
Because underneath all that hyped "geo grafting, HD morphing
autofitting blah blah genesis tech resides a basic POSER FIGURE BONE STRUCTURE.
which is all we care about for motion retargeting.
Back in Iclone pro create whatever amazing character animation in
REALTIME like you see in those amazing videos they have all over
you tube, using one of those low res native Iclone people.
And have fun!!
Save your animation to your custom Imotion library.
In 3D exchange apply that motion to your Mike/Vic /Mikki/ james /Jessie et al skeleton.
Export to BVH
import to poser.
My personal advice is to save your pennies and buy
Iclone pro& 3D exchange pro.( $500 USD or so)
you will have a poser compatible animation solution that truly rivals the All mighty Autodesk Motionbuilder( $3000 USD or so)
and forget about whatever little half IK kludge solution SM Might toss you someday in the future....Just move on....
you wont regret it.
