Hey group. I need a way of importing my Poser anims into 3DS or TrueSpace that will allow me to render in either of those. S. Shanks told me to "morph" in 3DS, but I don't know how to do that. I have the 30 frames individually saved as Poser does when you export. Anyone have any ideas?

As far as I know that is the only way. Other than creating a new IK chain in Character Studio or Truespace, then reanimating the mesh. Lame huh? Co(V)(V)union

The problem is that I don't know HOW to morph in MAX. Maybe I should move this over to the MAX forum, huh?

Lets see if I can remember LOL ........Import the first OBJ set up all the textures ect cameras ect best to do all the lighting ect. now as by the time you get the rest in it'll slow stuff down big time..........now import the other files but not all of them just the keyframes it works just like poser it'll move between morphs smoothly.......next on the create panel change the drop down to compound objects and you'll see morph there click on that button (make sure you have the first OBJ selected) then move the time frame slider to the same place you hsad the next keyframe in poser next click on pick target, make sure you have a dot in "move" and click on the next obj keep doing this till you have all done and thats it :o) ........I've only done this a couple of times and only experimenting so you may find the odd hurdle......ket us know how you get on..........Steve

I am creating a plug-in to export poser character animations to 3ds4 and MAX. I have already prototyped the process and it works perfectly. Email me at konan@spacemoose.com and I will keep you posted on the progress. It should be ready in a couple of weeks.
