Hi
Does anyone know the correct scale for export an .obj file from P7 to 3Ds Max 2010?
I realise that poser characters are a lot smaller, I could average it but if I knew the exact percentage that would be be
Cheers

The official (efrontier/sm) scale is 1PNU(Poser Nativ Unit) = 262,128 cm

aren't you using the obj importer in Max? It already has poser settings.

I use 250 on import and .04 for export. Thats pretty close to real world scale and easy to remember.

I use 100 and .01

import 1000 export .001 works every time never had a problem.

you will notice all these choices are relative and proportioned, so any choice above is fine.

I think that translates to 8.6 ft. I thought that it was 8.3 feet.

Does anybody know why the PNU was changed from 8 ft to 8.3 ft? I can't see where it makes anything easier; all it does is to mess up the various prop sizes (depending on if they use the old PNU - which DAZ uses - or the new PNU).

It does mess up the size of the characters. V4 is supposed to be around 5' 10", but in Poser she's more like 6' 3"+.
