Is anyone using NaturalPose to import Poser animations in Vue? If so, does it work well? Thanks, Chris

I haven't really tried it. I did try it once, but I had some sort of problem which I can't remember, but it was probably something I was doing wrong. Haven't had time to look into it since.

Hi Chris ! It's impossible to "import" POSER animation data in VUE : VUE doesn't recognize inverse kinematic, parent hierarchy, BVH files, etc... NaturalPose can only help you to "render" a POSER animation in VUE. What it does is this : 1. save your poser model at frame 001 2. import it your VUE scene. 3. render the frame. 4. save your poser model at frame 002 5. import it your VUE scene. 6. render the frame. 7. save your...... and so on. it is not a converter, it's just an automatisation program. You still have to create 2 different animations : one POSER and one VUE and just hope they match ! try it... Eric

Hi Chris, I downloaded the demo, but it does not allow you to play with the textures, wich is an important feature to drop out of the demo I think. Then I found a nice freeware program used for automating Windows called Phantom. I started playing with it with some success. You can see a first test I did at the following link. In this scene, Yoko is walking on place and I still have to figure out how to have the characters move correctly inside the scene. If I succeed, I could write write a turorial on how to do it. It's the same process as described by audity, but 1) it's free, 2) you have total control over the materials 3) It works (I think) but it's a bit akward

That turned out pretty good there Gilbert. I'd say it works. Thanks for the info!

Gilbert, Thanks for the info. I'll have to check out "Phantom" and see. Thanks again to all, Chris
