Hi everyone.As you must know by by question I am new to all this.My Question is: Can Poser 4 characters and clothes be exported into Max 3.1 as a 3DS? Are there problems with the mesh once in Max 3.1? Does it transfer over at least almost perfectly? Thanks very much ahead of time for any help. Rod....

Try OBJ format instead and you'll get better results. 3DS may have UVmapping problems. http://www.habware.at/duck3.htm

Thanks for response JeffH.But how about just transferring un-textured Poser character into Max 3.1 in 3DS format,all textures can be done in Max 3.1. In other words just the Poser model with no textures exported into Max in 3ds format.Thanks again in advance. Rod...

Rod, As Jeff says, its better to use .obj for the transfer - textures can be applied in MAX, but there are still some seams issues, even then. By far the best bet is to get MAXPose, by Konan. Its just released in version 2, and it rocks!! All textures, bumps AND transmaps are auto applied as from Poser, with no problems at all.
