3D Studio is a very powerfull program. I do most all my 3D work in it...after posing in Poser and transfering the figures to Max. I'd have to say, grab it quickly! Foxhollow

Grab it quickly with both hands and don't let go :) (I'm still saving my pennies to upgrade from 2.5 to 3) Paul

One thing, nobody mentioned...when you export from poser to 3dsmax, you lose the models ability to move its limbs...in other words...pose in poser first, then export a statue. 3dsmax is a very complicated program...so if learning a piece of high-end professional software is something you've got the time and patience for...then go for it. IF not, think twice. Consider Bryce if you don't have it already. Or cararra. -Darth_LOgice

If its cheap enough grab it before he/she changes there mind :o) especially seeing its V3 Poser figures import lovely with the new OBJ plugin ....haven't tried doing any morphs for Poser yet but I have used the morphs in Max to animate one..........Steve

Someone posted yesterday that he is writing a plugin for either Poser or MAX that will allow the use of Poser character animation in MAX. Just an FYI
