Thanks for the info guys. I wish someone would put out a descent editor for bvh formated files that can use figures from common programs like Poser, Max, Maya etc... Credo sorry to say needs the competition. Life Forms interface looks like its 10 years old and it is really clunky to use. Anyway that is just my thought after using the damn thing for the past 2 month!

Thanks guys for your responses. Will look into the dials but the photoshop idea is not to good because I use the Max plugin and use Max as the final output for video! FYI : I found a tutorial that goes into creating new morph dials that make the existing morph dials affect each other. The code in the CR2 file can be edited for this. I will look ino that as well. It would work great on bulging the muscle as you move the arm or leg etc...

Is anyone using this new version of Poser with Windows ME? If so try changing over to the professional choice for all PC users, Windows 2000 sp3. If you don't have the right OS then don't blame the particular software. ME also has problems with MAX and most likely any other serious animation software. If the program works for one person and not for another then it is not the software, how can it be? Yes maybe PSR5 needs a particular setup, so what! Like other have said already, look what you GET! I am working with MAX and Maya etc... and there is no comparison for the value, NONE! Please realize what a few hundred dollars is getting you and if it doesn't work find out why it doesn't work on YOUR system! Because you will not find any software that delivers so much for so little. None other exists, end of arguement!

Please guys I agree with all of you, but buy the stupid upgrade and help these guys at CL. It's cost is a fraction of a decent plugin in 3DS Max and goes a whole lot further. Help support CL and just keep at their heels to fix the bugs. Reality dictates that it is all we can do. Besides what really competes with this simple and beautiful program. What other program could do so much in so little time with such little effort. Include Mimic, BVH files and a few DAZ utilities and its amazing what can be done with a program that costs under 400 bucks. Just think about it!!!!

Wait for the PSR5-2-Max plugin. But please email CuriousLabs and tell them to support the new features in the Max plugin. They told me they may not. So if enough of us puts pressure on them they may do a better plugin job...when it comes out!!!!!!

Yes I can export out of Vue in 3DS format but when importing into Max it hanges for a long time, and that is with a simple terrain, nothing complicated. It never opens in Max, I just Task/Close the program down.

Did you try to use Tailor 1.1 from DAZ3d.com. You can transfer the morphs from Vicky to the trench coat. Let me know if that works for you!

Thanks! This site is so valuable for the independent to to learn this stuff. I thank all of you so much for all the help and hope to contribute any of my knowledge when the time comes.

This may help .... Everytime a program crashes and has to be reloaded you should first clean up the register in the operating system. I assume you are in W2000. Fixit 2000 and Norton Systemworks does this job rather nicely.

I have Tailor and it seems that you need the proper clothing for the figure. What Tailor does is pass any new morphs you created on the figure to the cloth. In Tailor you have to first load the body then the cloths. The have to match up roughly. Then you can choose specific morphs, preview there motion then pass the morph to the cloths. Its kool as long as the cloth fits (relatively). I am glad I bought it. Even in this limited way it seems to do a nessesary job for these kind of problems. I would recommend buying it!

Aleks: My problems was when I imported the V2 Hires textures. Other textures like Raphael had no problems. (excepted needing huge amounts of RAM) Also I looked at the freestuff-Max-Utilites and can't find the script you mentioned. Can you direct me to the name of file (script)and where it is?

Jaqui pointed me in the right direction. After bring into max the poser file, I imported materials from scene into mat lib then manually placed every map in the multi/sub map stucture. But eye lashes did not work. Can someone help me with that one. Oh thanks Jaqui!!!
