Ok so I just found the wonderful Poser Tools 2 for blender. I am using the 2.6 version of Blender, and am wondering about using the Poser tools to import V4 to blender, and using it in the physics game mode to create keyframe bvh files for use with Poser.

Now I am not ashamed to say I am completely Blender illiterate, thus far pretty much using it to model clothing for Poser Dynamics, and have delved very lightly in the other arcane realms of Blender. I have tried using a few of the tutorial settings to get the physics engine to say drop v4 from a height, but with no success.

So here are my questions...

1.) How to snap a rig to the mesh?

"I noticed this when I imported v4 into blender using the poser tools 2. Still looking for a tut to do that, just figured I would ask since I seem to not be able to google up the exact tut I need to do this with."

2.) Any tutorials done already  getting V4 to use the physics system in Blender? Such as the setup of the figure?

"I am trying to use Blender as a form of Endorphin so I can export out to Poser in a bvh format for animations. "

I am aware of the Poser Physics, which would allow somewhat a same effect, but would like to learn how to do this in Blender, since I want to learn the program a little better.

3.) Also is there a pin bone to a prop selection in blender? Example, to pin v4's hand to say static prop one to make a dangling hanging on with one hand from a high rise dramatic motion.

4.) When you export the bvh file will poser be able to read it exactly as saved from Blender? I have read some things in forums about other programs exporting it out and Poser not being able to read the bvh file as it was made in the other program, just curious to see if this is the same with these two programs.

I thank you all in advance for your help and time in this

still learning blender myself so not promising I'm dead right lol

to "snap" the rig to the mesh its just parent(select mesh hold shift an select rig then ctrl+p) dont know of a tut for poser tools but look for ones using rigify and the method is the same, bone heat works quite well but may need adjusting

never tried to make bvh in blender but when I have used it with poser the biggest problem was poser having dif bone names to most of the bvh's I had downloaded, if your using posetools then I guess the bonenames will be the same but let us know if/how it works out

had the demo of endorphin!! lot of fun init, dont think blender can do that but I haven't dived into the physics side of blender yet so will be fun to find out

hope that helps

Thank you for the snap info, worked like a charm, will keep ya updated on what becomes of the physics in blender and bvh issues. Again thanks for the info.
