Do not add RUNTIME folder in POSER PRO 2012,9. Add 1 level upper folder which contains RUNTIME folder.

ex) E:MY SCENEMichale 4RUNTIME

In this case, ADD Michale 4 folder in POSER library browser, not RUNTIME.

Of course POSER PRO 2010, 8 or less version you must add RUNTIME instead of

Michale 4.

Almost Autodesk product including 3DS-MAX has 30 day- trial version for free. You can also try academic version. Trial version can be downloaded at http://usa.autodesk.com/3ds-max/trial/

Oh, it's easy to convert 3DS MAX object to POSER.

Just export your 3DS MAX object with OBJ file format for POSER. You can see 'POSER'

preset obj. file when exporting OBJ.file from 3DS-MAX obj export window.

Of course export material library and texture at the same folder at where OBJ. mesh file saved.

Then at POSER, select File -> import -> wave front OBJ. Select your 3DS-MAX generated obj. It's all done. I love editing external meshs at 3DS-MAX and import

them to POSER oftenly because of 3DS-MAX's powerful mesh-element selection :)

Doesn't 3DS MAX's VRAY has material converter from general material to VRAY material?

In case of CINEMA4D's VRAY, just convert poser material to vray material with one click

then I can render poser scene or object at C4D with vray...

You can group polygons at ZBrush and those groups can be used at poser. Do not group

at poser or use poser's group editor for editing slightly ZBrush created groups...

then rig using poser setup room.

Rigging is not so difficult, more important part is giving proper fall off zone or weight-map

at Joint editor...
