Jacques did all the hard work, making the framework for it, for the materials.  Good stuff!  I just automated the use of his stuff via Poser, since I prefer it to DS. 

Glad to see it may help ya, though!  Another freebie render exporter is a good thing!

(though if you dig into the script of mine, don't expect to be impressed...I code by trial and error, just to make things work :blink: )

I have modified the script to include automatic camera setup and render size ala mjcTeleblender!!!  :tongue2:  (I also added an auto-scale to the end of the script, so it sizes the object up in Blender by a factor of 4.8768)

Steps:

1. Download the Poser Export Python Script from THIS PAGE

2. Download PoserToCyclesV3.txt from THIS PAGE, copy all and just paste/replace everything in the above (1) script after line #124 (i.e. delete all after line 124 in #1, and paste this in its place)

Save as a new script and go!  When you run the new Python script, it will ask you for a file name for the OBJ.  This filename will also be used to create a directory and put the OBJ, MTL, PY, BAT and all of the collected MATS into.  It will then launch Blender and import it all in using mjcTeleBlender.

I tested a bunch, but if you find it failing, or not quite right...let me know.  I may have missed something.  I am running Blender 2.64a, I believe.  (NOTE: if you don't want something, hide it, before running the script, such as the Ground)

LOL!

Because I am so lazy, and am hating the multi-step process, I have made a script that is a 1-click Poser to Blender Cycles, using the mcjTeleblender framework (available here).  It does not bring in lights or camera, but the materials is the hardest part anyway.

Since I am not a great programmer, I have pillaged some of Smith Micro's Python scripts to get it done.  Since I cannot get an OK to share a modified SM Python script, I am going to leave it to you to do the modification, for personal use:

1. Download the Poser Export Python Script from THIS PAGE

2. Download PoserToCyclesPart1.txt from THIS PAGE, copy all and insert it into #1 above on line #204 (between "fileName, dst = getFile()" and "if fileName:")

3. Download PoserToCyclesPart2.txt from THIS PAGE, copy all and insert it into #1 above, at the end of the file

4. Save the new file as something like:  PoserOBJ_Export_BlenderCycles.py

Thats it.  When you run the new Python script, it will ask you for a file name for the OBJ.  This filename will also be used to create a directory and put the OBJ, MTL, PY, BAT and all of the collected MATS into.  It will then launch Blender and import it all in using mjcTeleBlender.

Cool stuff!  :thumbupboth:

If SM tells me I can put it all together for you, I will, but it's really not that hard.  Feel free to add to it, if you are up to the task of adding camera's, light or changing scale in some way!!!!  (...hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge...) :tongue1:

It is conforming

How about these?  http://www.sharecg.com/v/14803/poser/Toy-Boxes

...and in case your interested, Lyrra's magnets are on sale for 50% right now at Daz, part of the PA sale.  I've been waiting for the Elite ones to go on sale, so I'm in!

Cool, thanks!  (it's Matt, but "Pickled" is fine, if you prefer :tongue1: )

On a side note, I did upgrade to Blender 2.64 RC2.  Supposedly it has cycles improvements, more nodes, bug fixes etc.

(I am also intrigued by the motion tracking  :)  ...I am obviously easily distracted)

I am going to look into that HDRi stuff you mention.  Do you have a link to the tutorial?

Yes, its Desir Hair

Its late here, midnight, gotta sleep!

I have not looked into it at all. 

This is what I meant by starting to look at settings.  I am going to start tweaking these and see how it affects it.

I'm a Tinker/Trial-n-error type of guy  ;-)

You totally underestimate yourself!  I don't understand half of what you just said, LOL!  Laurie talks circles around me as well.

Here is what I did to make the above:

1. Loaded v4 in DS (yea, i know, but I am in the render mood, and its less work to export right now), added AerySouls hair (alphaseed, sorry, it does the best job of any hair to have those nice fine strands, but it usually kills render time), loaded my new Natasha Elite skin (which was just on sale a few days ago for 70% off, those Elite skins are worth every penny, I've got the three I wanted now)

2. Added LSTank Top freebie

3. General V4 Pose

4. Set camera

5. Export via mjcTeleBlender

6. In Blender changed background to Sky

...then I had those eye issues above.  Thats it!  That was the 9/26 10am render.  That's why I am so impressed!!!  I never got this level of realism by doing so little.

I suppose you can do the same for the lips I did for the eyes...make it a mix shader, a factor of around 0.05 and gloss on the bottom of the mixer. Texture on top.  I may try it as well. Oops, just re-read your issue...yea thats a problem, you'll need a mask with a fading edge out from lips

I can't let go of Vicky, there is just too much good stuff for her!

I am gonig to start playing now with settings, one by one, and see how it works.

BTW, are you using a GPU/Cuda render?  I am, but its a laptop, and only 96 cores(?) for it, so its not terribly fast...but it lets me keep working while rendering. :)

If you get discouraged, drop V4 in real quick, get yourself a nice render, enjoy it, have a cool drink, pat yourself on the back, then dig in again! :tongue1:

There is a glossy node and @Casual had a node setup in his mjcTeleBlender thread at Daz.  I added it, turned it down a little, and dropped a HDRI Environment Texture to give something to reflect and eyes look better!  (click for bigger)

...and they replied and I may need to upgrade to a later Blender.

Yep, I am waiting to hear back on BlenderArtists.org  :tongue1:
