OK... (also posting in Poser forum) Over the last two years my group has designed a wide variety of furniture pieces in CAD for our clients. These were developed so that exact dimensions could be used for CAM manufacturing/cutting and general forensic work (we do vizualiztion). My questions: Since we have a huge catalog of the objects (all DXFs), what is the best way for me to bring these in for use in Poser (yes I know Poser imports DXFs)? I wil be doing this to sell some of the objects in the online stores and to give others away for free. 1. I have read that there are some issues with Poser rounding straight edges, which would be a problem for most of our designs, however, I did see one message that said this is not a problem with DXFs. Is this true? 2. Can someone point me to a quick tutorial for making morph targets for these objects. Many of the pieces of furniture have separate doors/drawers/etc that are movable, and I would like to props to reflect that. My guess is that this will be the most time consuming part of the translation. 3. I am not a huge user of Poser, as we use it mostly to set up basic poses using characters/props to import into Max via ProPack for rendering/and lots of postwork in Premier. For the average Poser user, what are fair polygon counts for Poser props so that it will not chug down the average scene for regular/power users? This will help me in reducing polys where needed to help out the average users. If there is somewhere where this is discussed, I would appreciate pointers to that location. As I said, I have a HUGE inventory of objects to convert. - Ray

all I know is that it has a tendency to mess things up by smoothing; and usually importing, you want to turn smoothing off. Only other thing is they might want some texturing..you might ask Sam's 3d, I think they do their work in Autocad (I haven't touched it since 1.4 or so..my 8088 took 2 hours to render St. Pauls'..;)

LOL...I answered in your post to Poser forum. Sharen
