I't says it was done without budget but I see some comercial DAZ products in there, hard to believe it was done by only one person, it looks like a great team work, and a lot of DAZ "support" in the back, it's a great publicity for it's products ;-) , anyway I don't care because we'll never know, and because it's pure pleasure for the eyes :-).

I like P7 Sydney, I like her face and body shape, I'm in love of her eyes :-)  for me the best default character, I like P7 Simon face, not good looking but naturaly masculine (I think, my male point of view)

Hey people as RobynsVeil say the script works great now for props, but you can convert the figures to prop with this script:

saved as prop then imported to Blender with transmaps and everything in place, give it a try :-D 

until the figure importer is finished, if finished sometime.

Laurie, when 2.5 came it was hard for me to get used to it :-S some of the sortcut keys I used was changed and I considered the interface somehow complicated and out of the "simplicity" of 2.4, now I'm not quite used to it, and still use 2.4 for some things, but  2.5 is a great step forward, do you know that 2.4 was not able to set more than 16 material per object? something really bad for most poser characters

Well at this point cycles is only available as an integrated renderer of blender 2.6
So there is No "stand alone" version that accepts XML files and I know of no plans to release on from the Author of Cycles.
I personally think a Blender based plugin that reads the PZ3 format would be the best solution as this is what we have with the
INTERPOSER PRO
plugin for cinema where I just access my runtime and load ALL poser  directly from within Cinema4D and from there repose ,remorph ,recloth etc. and render it in C4D's native AR3,Vray or even Maxwell.

Cheers

I agree. A direct Poser scene to Blender would be awesome. And since both programs use Python, I don't see a reason why it can't be done well. Shame I'm no programmer ;).

Laurie

When the Poser to Lux was proposed, I sugested that a Poser to Blender would be more apropiated since once in Blender there would be a lot more posibilities (Lux, Yafaray, Blender internal, POV, and so on) I asked people to test Blender to see this  posibility and some people almost kill me :-S don't you remember that Laurie ;-) I'm really happy that your allergy to Blender got better. LOL

Really?!  Must be a better kept secret than Osama bin Laden's hidden bunker.

dph

Poser 7 male is Simon a G2 character, Ryan 1 is from Poser 8 and Ryan 2 uses Poser 9 weight map, P8 and P9 Ryan has conforming genitals like P7 Simon. 

Great morphs! what about Shapes for Antonia for the name :-S

Quote - how can you convert your scene to a prop? i have tryed dimension3D script for makign a figure a prop. and it didnt work. i have poserpro 2010

D3D script works great for me with P6 P7 and P8 I don't have Ppro 2010, with this script you can convert every figure to Prop then save as prop and load each one into Blender, or you can convert every figure to prop then parent everything to your main figure and use "Include parented props" option of the script (this option is used to iclude let's say hair in the conversion) this way all scene will become a prop, what's the problem you have with the script?

Quote - Okay let me see if I've got this thing figured out.  I'm still way behind on getting add-ons put into Blender and tested as I'm still figuring out vanilla blender. :p

1.  I can export a prop and it'll end up in my props directory in Poser correct?  With the mats and stuff I did in Blender now in Poser?  If I configure the thing right.

2.  I can import props from Poser to Blender keeping their textures and all that fun stuff correct? 

My question is can I create a scene in Poser and then export it to Blender?  Or would I have to export to OBJ then Import to Blender?  I ask mostly since I can pose and everything in poser easily (I.e. I know what to do there) versus in Blender where I still haven't learned rigging and all that.  Thanks in advance!

You can create your scene and convert it to prop then save it in Poser as a prop, till the figure importer will be ready, then import it into blender using this tool, then you can render using Blender Internal, Lux, Yafaray, PovRay, or whatever renderer Blender already suports

I use the same settings than you for importing into Blender and the attached setings for Exporting from Blender and it works great even for full body Morphs, it export all groups correctly.

Hey Got it :-D

Convert Figure to Prop by D3D

http://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/details.php?item_id=50705

And works Great!

Quote - i am thinking that maybe i will make a duplciate figure in the figures runtime. with changed material zones. so that when i already in poser have only 3 material zones for limbs,torso and head.

That's what I've done since Gen 3 (I don't use all materials most of the time) I loaded the mesh obj in UVmapper then merged all the materials that use the same mapping  and saved as a coppy then edited the cr2 reference to te obj and the materials definitions, I've done this with almost with all the characters with useless mats for me.

By the way I think I've seen a Figure to prop python script somewere, but don't remember, I'll look for it if I find it then I'll post it here :-)

Nobody mentioned RDNA Terradome and its addons

http://www.runtimedna.com/Runtime-DNA-s-TerraDome.html

You can do it with free Advanced shader by Semidieu

http://www.runtimedna.com/Advanced-Shaders.html

with it you can create a script that will load the overlay on every texture you want.

If you mean the "glowing aura arround the figure" I think a postwork shoul be the easy way ;-) in Poser
