Great questions... first, Q. will the plugin support animated figures? A. Yes! the plugin works similar to the versions for 3D Max, and Lightwave (and I assume Cinema 4D, which I have not seen). You get a animation attribute in Maya which determines the frame that you are viewing from the poser file. When this atttribute is animated, the figure moves. In the shipping version, this attribute will be animated by default when the file is imported Q. Will this work with PLE!? A. No. We'd like to offer it to Everyone! PLE doesn't support any plugins right now. If they make that functionality available, We'll try to address a version that works in PLE... Q. I don't see much difference between the Maya, and the poser version in the comparison... A. Exactly! In the plugins for 3D Max and Lightwave you sometimes have to spend lots of time adjusting the shaders within the new app to get results that look like your original shaders in Poser. The Maya importer translates the Poser shader directly into a Maya Shading network, which right now supports 95% of poser shader functionality. We expect this number to go up before we ship. I'll poset some more images later which show off some of the maya features...
