Hi. I'm importing FBX files into Poser. I named all the vertex groups and bones properly in Blender, but when I import the file into Poser, it tags on an underscore and a three-digit number to the end of the group name. This is maddeningly inconvenient, since the bones and vertex groups need to have the same names. Here's what it looks like:

Why is this happening?

You don't say what version of Poser you're using, but IME, FBX doesn't work well with Poser yet. Hopefully they'll fix it.

Contact Infinity10 here in the forums ... She has a solid understanding of importing FBX figures into Poser. She even as a video tutorial but I'm not at my work machine and don't have the link. I will ask her to answer this thread.

Added note she lives in the far east so you may not get a response until tomorrow.

Are your groups vertex groups or are they facet (polygon) groups? Poser needs facet groups, not vertex groups, to link geometry to the rig,

They're vertex groups. I work with them in Blender before exporting them as .FBX files. That's good to know; I wonder if Blender can make them facet groups.
