Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 23 7:38 pm)
You still need to de-emboss the original image to mak it work correctly. If you have (or know) someone with a MAC OS then you can use the plug-ins for GraphicsCoverter that MartiC wrote. They will de-emboss the green bum & save it as a proper grayscale image that most 3D apps use. You can get the PoserSpeedbump plug-in here: http://www.soft-rabbit.com/

The filter performs a real "de-emboss" function, resulting in a greyscale template that (somehow) matches the one that was used in the first place. However, it will not (and cannot) re-create the precise original, because Poser's .bum conversion is not "reversably unique" (which means that it is even impossible to re-create the original) and also subject of various rounding errors which make it even more difficult to reverse the process. For that reason, the resulting grayscale will contain a couple of distortions (mainly some gray shades) that typically need some retouching/editing afterwards. If you have a chance to get the original it will be the first choice, but if you can't then the re-conversion is a reasonable alternative. I'm terribly sorry that I can't offer a PC version (yet).This site uses cookies to deliver the best experience. Our own cookies make user accounts and other features possible.

I scanned the FAQ and forum contents but couldn't find an answer to this one. I'm using Daz's eagle in 3DStudio and I'm looking for a way to convert the Eagle's BUM format bumpmap into a JPG or other type of file that 3DStudio can read for it's bumpmap slot. Daz replied to this question saying that it's not possible. Is the BUM file type that different that nothing can read it? thanks! -Jim
