I have some meshes of myself taken in an Avatar booth. These come in three formats; proprietary (ame), Simms (cmx) and Quake III (md3). Is there any tools out there for converting these to poser compatible formats so I can use them for animation purposes? Cheers Andy

Milkshape 3D will do this.

That looks cool! What's an avatar booth? How much detail do you get in the meshes it makes? How much does it cost? I've never seen this kinda thing before. Looks very interesting. And I'd like to learn more about it. ScottA

It cost me 25 to visit the Millenium Dome in London where they were doing this in the BT exhibit. Unfortunately they have knocked the exhibit down now. (Something about educational stuff being boring) Basically a 3 images are taken then some clever software turns those into a 3D image. Not quite perfect hence the need for some editing software... Head 680 triangles Legs 690 triangles Upper body 1418 triangles. P.S. Thanks, Scharmers Milkshape does the job wonderfully.
