I'm trying to get a my Poser 5 animation into 3D Studio Max 6. This used to be possible using Poser Pro Pack 4 and with 3D Studio Max 4. Is the import plugin for Pro Pack 4 compatible with new Poser 5 and Max 6? Is the only alternative now BodyStudio 2.5? r.

Yep. I'm afraid so. They didn't put it in Poser 5.

neilp's right. Technically, the old plugin still works to some degree, even in P5, but you don't get the joys of the new material room, dynamic cloth, or dynmaic hair. IOW -- the improvements in P5 don't carry over. Nor is cuious labs developing any new plugins -- all plugins, since before the release of P5, will be done through 3rd parties. Perhaps someday CL will have the funding and staff to create additional plugins in house. But for now, that's pretty much not gonna happen. Bodystudio and the stuff from Greenbriar are the only ones I know of that will work.

Doesn't Gesturemax import the scene (inc animation) from P5 to Max?
