Hi, hopefully some guru out there knows the answer to this. I have a 3DS max character with complete bone stucture. I want to import the bone structure into poser, but I dont know how. I own polytrans, so I can convert the bone structure to many different formats. so if anyone out there knows of a format that CAN be imported into poser, please tell me! thanks

As far as I can recall, rigs cannot be imported or exported to/from Poser because of how Poser's system is set up.

Only a bad tradesman blames his tools ;P Poser isn't really about 'making' characters, but rather 'posing' characters. Poser doesn't have bones in any traditional sense of the word so there's no way to import real bone structures from other programs.

Carrara Pro 5 imports Poser figures with bones, morph targets, etc. I don't think it works the other way around though (

next time you fire up poser 6, have a read what it says about poser... its a creation tool........ apparently!

Well. It's pretty safe to say there's an infinite choice of morph possibilities with most figures. I don't think it's much of a stretch to call that 'character creation'. If you're creating figures for Poser I don't know if rigging in Poser can be avoided though (

I really hope they take a look around and realize that this isn't 1995 anymore, and they need to bring Poser into modern times more seriously. Specifically, I mean that Poser 7 needs FBX import/export. It's an excellent program, but so many parts of it are quite outdated now.

Its 100% character MODIFICATION, you dont actually create a character in poser, you modify it. I just find it extremely funny that they push it as a creation program, but you cant really create anything, just use things created in other programs LOL anyway, looks like Ill have to re-create the bone structure :(

..." Its 100% character MODIFICATION"...yea, but "The ultimate character modification tool" just isn't very catchy ;)
