I am sure this is a subject that has a lot of debate with little success, but i thought i would see if any bright sparks had the answer. 

Yes i want to import Poser animations into 3D Studio Max and that is Poser 'ANIMATIONS'. I know of only two plugins up for the job, that is Bodystudio and Mesh Foot. I don't want to pay the price Bodystudio is asking and Mesh Foot had scripting issues with my version of 3D Studio Max when i was testing the demo, so that is a no go area. 

Does anyone have the solution for importing Poser animation into 3D Studio Max, whether it is a plugin, other than those stated or another method?

i would love to hear it, as this is driving me around the bend.
