ok, it now proceeds to the 'Destination Directory' but I now get a warning that

"When used with Poser TM, "Michael 4 Base" must be installed to the same directory as the application executable; due to restrictions on support file locations"
Please select the dir that contains your Poser Executable"

I have Poser finstalled in 2nd partition (F) in F/program files/ Poser Pro

so I choose that as the path and it just keeps popping up the same message.

any ideas
Mike

cheers wimvdb,
any thoughts on how the G2 models compare to M4?

Mike

i think it was a fair question, I have purchased both and have used max for almost 10yrs, specifically for product and arch viz visualisation hence i I do know many features of max and its associated rendering engines, so satire aside you can forgive me for not knowing how good its hair & fur is....

PoserPro being  a $500 character application (1/6  cost of max) one would obviously  think that it does characters (inc hair) to a high level., considering the vast amount of features that MAX has compared to Poser , Poser seems expensive, hence therefore my thoughts were that what it (poser) does do, it probably does it well.

Mike

thanks all for the feedback, i was able to get the Poserfusion working after contacting smithmicro support, I think I had the same problem as you buddy Digger,  wouldnt load in the .pz3 file until i pointed to the correct poser executable (within max),
Do you really think that the hair in max (using hair & fur wsm) will be better than what can be created within Poser? I am not qualified to discuss the merits of either,, its interesting that both opinions point to Max's hair. Ultimately I need the best looking hair.
final question : how come when I go to Content paradise /poser pro I dont see any victoria 4 modles for sale just addons for her?
Thanks again
Mike

ok thanks for that, if I said that I was happy enough to buy Poser (pro) and whatever else I need to make the characters look good would it be a no brainer then to buy Poser Pro,  we may even import some animations into maya.  I am confused to the shear amout of stuff that is out there on these sites, am I corrct in say that a morph is a file that defines the detail and shape of a character eg VIC3, how do the textures work with different morphs so that they dont stretch on the model?

Thanks
Mike
