You can export as obj files which will import into most if not all 3d programmes. Personally I use Cinema 4D... but in the current build I am having problems... as I export OBj files it has a tendency to crash... I have reported this to them

Yep 0.927.0 is far more stable, but It does keep getting multiple errors loading scenes and some props. It also can't see some obj geometries... eg Billy T's Red sandals, they are greyed out in the browser when you try to load them manually... like they arent recognised. And I only just bought them... boo!

Check out Eve, used to be on Travellers' Morph World Site Or Buy next months issue of Computer Arts magazine It should carry a free full version of Victoria 1 on the cover disc

Q3: Can you export hair to render in C4d , say as an Obj file?

Yay it works! I knew it would be a basic wrong assumption I had made, now to learn more... thanks again

Cheers guys, sorry I didn't reply sooner, I was waiting for the "alert me" email... which never came. cobaltdream I will try that, and let you know how I got on. Saxon, that's what I used to do, but it starts to bloat the file size.

Thanks to everyone, got the stuff from the above link that should do the trick, I hope Cheers

Kiru, found your jpg ... is there a model somewhere?

Thanks guys, Amp 3 frankly I don't think this project requires a custom build. Atthistage I would be interested in your finds, The bottoms only option could be useful. Ookami ta for the poserworld link I might sub if I can't find anything else suitable. For those who are interested My pal is a ninjutsu instructor or more correctly ninpo budo instructor and he wants to illustrate some stances for a manual he is producing.... there ain't much money in it and I'm doing it free as a favour (best to have these guys as friends!)

Hey I didnt't know that negative metaball trick ...I was trying all kinds of stuff making them negative etc.. cool ta very much

Eureka it works!, I'm sure I tried it before but I must have missed it. Thanks again to all who replied Mike

Cheers guys I'll try the no weld ploy Mike

Brilliant Idea.... hope you find someone, id love to do render in Strata... if only it supported uv mapping... Good luck Mike

Yup, I just checked, I was sure I was doing that.. makes no difference, thanks for the response though...any other Ideas, it only seems to have started since the upgrade.. Ta again Mike
