Oh,
I have hex2, but I haven't realy had a play with it properly yet.
I have a tendancy to stick to things I know more about (Amapi)
Just had a quick look at the export options on Amapi, it does stl too.
Now I now this, it does bring me a bit closer to wanting the project to work.
Thanks again guys
If you have any more idea's let me know.

Thread: Save cahracter as obj in set pose | Forum: Carrara
Um, interesting.
Yeah, I've always felt a bit cheated when it comes to physical models of figures, poses are crap and you can never get the figure you want.
Now that this printing is available I thought "lets look into It"
I found this company. which looks quite promising.
http://www.inition.co.uk/inition/services_3d_printing.htm
But I want to get a good figure done before approaching them.
The file needs to be saved in an stl format, which I think, I found a converter for obj to stl.
(on me laptop somewhere)
It's my best mate's 40th Birthday in 6months, and he enjoys flight sims and physical modelling.
So I'm half way through modelling him a half and half fighter aircraft, that I was going to get printed (in a kinda kit form, with several parts) along with a figure for myself.
There isn't a problem with the aircraft as there are no moving parts, no bones.
But the figures are proveing to be more of a problem.
I may end up doing it the long way and saving as 3DS and then removeing the triagulations manually.
Thanks for the input ,
and any more idea's are welcome.

Thread: Save cahracter as obj in set pose | Forum: Carrara
Hi, guys
Thanks for the info, not realy what I'm getting at though.
Yes displacement in say "T" position would be right but again not what I'm after.
The thing is saving as obj after posing would then give the opertunaty to play with the mesh and add a solid base as well as make the figure water tight.
This would then be ready for proto-typing of the rapid veriaty. (3D printing)
Ominousplay-
Thanks for the interest in Pineapples, he's an ABC robot from the 2000AD comic.
The bones in the chest are there to help the skinning and also if required means that by changing the sive slightly up and down gives the effect of breathing.
There is a short 4 second animation that I've done (link below)
I had to use a different rig though, Mocap data was used, and depending on which data you use depends on the rig you need to install (at least thats how seems)
Thanks agin for the help.

Thread: Save cahracter as obj in set pose | Forum: Carrara
Ah, No.
No poser involvement.
This is a character that I've modelled in Amapi D7, exported as an obj.
Then loaded into Carrara, rigged, skinned, domains and mapped.
Then after posing want to save as an obj with the pose holding.
I do find it odd that the 3ds and dxf exports seems to do this, but not the obj?
Any other idea's why this is not working?
Thanks again,
Mike.

Thread: Save cahracter as obj in set pose | Forum: Carrara
AAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
This is realy bugging me, have been trying for about 3 hours now.
3DS, is not good at all on fine detailed models. obj style 7000 poly models turn to 14000.
Which is going to be depressingly boring and time consuming to fix and then get back to work on it.
The untriangulate does not go the way I want it to.
And All the other export options triangulate.
I've also tried saveing as an obj. from the modelling room, while in animation mode.
Still reverts back to start position.
Any ideas?

Thread: Save cahracter as obj in set pose | Forum: Carrara
Hi, It was already a .car file as it was one of my own skinned models.
Not sure on the size though. Might be a saved as Local settings?
Another problem now.
Saving as 3DS. is O'kay, Some of the vertices aren't attached to where they should be though, Re-importing the 3ds I tried to untraingle and save as an obj.
Not good, everything went a bit screwy.
Had another look at the 3ds file in Amapi and it's going to take a bit more remodelling than I hope'd to get it back to looking like an obj.
Still going to keep plugging away on this as I now have a purpose for this posed file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again

Thread: Save cahracter as obj in set pose | Forum: Carrara
Thanks bwtr,
Your right, being lazy. Have tried in doudt. obj will not hold pose, just reverts the figure back to the start pose.
DXF, was close, held the pose but lost all domains, textures and mapping. Did have a nice white colour finish though.
3DS, Yes, this worked a treat, saved the pose, domains and mapping. Have to rebuild the shader tree. small price to pay.
Thanks again.

Thread: what are some ways to make photo realistic people | Forum: Carrara
If your going for a closeup shot.
Adding a bead of moisture to the lower lid of the eye helps.
And very good textures, lighting and reflections are required.
Good luck in your quest.

Thread: Problem with Hxn and Obj Files imported into Carrara Pro 5 | Forum: Carrara
Hi,
I use Amapi D7 for modelling, but normal save the model as an obj before opening it in CARRARA. On the odd occasion, I have had Carrara refuse to open the model.
I then go back to amapi and save it in sections, adding a bit more of the model at a time untill the problem is found.
Any help?

Thread: DELETE CRASH ON RIGGED CHARACTERS IN MODELLING ROOM | Forum: Carrara
Thanks guys
More info -
The model is a manga girl type thing. I skinned her then copy and paste'd sections of her mesh to create some basic clothes. The new mesh retained the skinning details, and was easy to add to and adjust.
The jacket is fine, and works well.
The panties though are another matter. I only want to get shot of them because they show up in the non-photo rendering. even when they are fully transparent. AND they don't move well with her.
I've made a lot of morphs for her and the skinning is possible close to the best I've achieved so far.
Don't realy fancy skinning her again. I've tried removing the bones and deleteing.
Did not work.
I'm gonna have a look at an earlier save, and see how far back it is.
Thanks again

Thread: Own modelled and skinned carrara characters exported to poser? | Forum: Carrara
Thanks for the input.
It's not a big problem, I just didn't fancy having to rig again.
When she has a few more morphs and clothing possibilities, she'll be a CARRARA only freebee then.
For a while. (Till I get my backside into gear and learn poser)
Thanks again
