How do I import FBX animations into Poser 12? In poser 11 when you import FBX with an animation it plays with the rigged figure. But in Poser 12 when I import an FBX with animation it just has the rigged model and T pose.

Is there an option or setting I'm missing?

I haven't used the FBX import in a while so I had to make sure it hadn't got broken. It imported the animation as expected. Where did the FBX come from?

I got the fbx from Adobe Maximo site.

Hi, it is possible that the FBX version of the file is too old. I was able to import it into Poser 12, after importing/exporting from SideFX Houdini as FBX v2020.

Try converting the original FBX to a recent format, it seems that will help you. It is possible Autodesk has something for this I don't know.

There is another thing you can try, it worked for me: while comparing the original and the one converted via Houdini I notice that in the bone names, I noticed that double dots ":" was replaced by underline "_". So I opened the original in text editor, search/replaced "mixamorig:" to "mixamorig_", save as copy, now it imported in P12 as expected too!

Which text editor did you use? I used word pad and office word and after saving the file it wouldn't open in poser or even windows.

I tested today again just to make sure, yes it works, replace all then save it:

OOh that's a good tip to remember. Ive run into a few instanced where something had to be renamed in a bvh file too in order to work. nice.
I didn't know we could edit files in text when they were in the format with "NUL" or other odd characters without corrupting things. Good to know

Thank you for that info about Notepad++.

Why that should work but neither Notepad nor Wordpad is interesting...

Also, have you tried any of the Truebones' animated FBX freebies ??

I do not know if he's 'just lucky' or uses Autodesk's official SDK, but his FBX models and conversions all seem to 'Play Nice' with my P_11.3...

Disclosure: I bought Truebone's 'PMX to FBX' Converter ($$) to get rigged MMD figures into Poser. IIRC, it also ports animation.

Two 'gotchas'...

This first version cannot port texture calls. Hand-loading those within Poser may be tedious, but totally beats trying to rig figure..

Do NOT port PMX models flagged 'TDA' or 'TDA-derived', as their 'T&Cs' prohibit use outside MMD environment.
IIRC, TDA's author was badly affected by SL piracy, slammed the door...
