Hi all
I was a user of Poser 4/5 many years ago, but stopped using it for various reasons. I used the Poser Pro Pack with v4 to export scenes for hosting in Lightave7/8 to render. I can't find any information in the reviews about the current versions' ability to export models/geometry/scenes to Lightwave, Modo, Blender, Cinema 4D, etc., or other 3D pro package.
So, my question for the community is: does Pro 2014 export geometry, textures, or scenes to any other 3D programs for further tweaking and rendering?
Also, how hard is it to model in another program and import the geometry into Poser 10 / Pro 2014?
Thanks!

poser exports to carrara, octane or luxrender, and probably others. poser can import obj files, mostly quads if possible, produced by max et al.

check out poser fusion to see if it does what you want.

Great, thanks to both of you for the quick reply. Have either of you had any success or issues with export/import or Poser Fusion? I remember that Lightwave Layout would crash frequently with the Poser Pro Pack (v4) plug in.

Poser Pro 2014 exports in COLLADA, and has fusion plugins for Cinema4D, LightWave, Maya, and 3dsMax. Vue will open Poser scenes or items directly.
I don't have personal experience with any of these methods. For Vue, I import OBJs and set up Vue materials for them myself.

I've imported scenes into vue. I don't remember if it handles the weightmapping or not. Last time I tried, it was with an old version of vue and it didn't work. Shade also can import poser scene files. I'm too inexpirianced to do anything with that though.
eta, my experiance vue doesn't like poser's sss either but that's only a problem if you don't want to retexture anything in the new software.

Used fuson in PP2012 to C4D some (maybe 15 to 20 scenes).
Never tried fusion in PP2014. For target audience PP2014 renders are good enough.

I haven't used Vue much (not since my Poser 4 days, actually), but it seems to have really evolved in the past 10 years. Which version of Vue are you using – Infinity or xStream?
Also, anyone using Poser models in Unity?

Pro Fusion works with LW 9.6 maps are transfered no "node" effects
