Hi, How could I export poser stuff to amapi 4 ? Obj won't run and 3ds give an oversized props. Any idea ? Thanks

I alays use 3ds without any probs.In amapi, preferences, IO settings you can set a scalingfactor for every importformat. try til it fits best,but normally poserobjects are to small,not to big and i use a scalingfactor of 10

when you export from amapi and import to poser things are a bit oversized,but with the imported thing selected,use the scale dial in poser to make it the right size,place it where you want it to be, export from poser in *.obj-format and reimport the *.obj And it should work fine.

the problem is in the first step: when i export from poser to amapi in 3ds format. I open amapi and import it. the result is a giant :)

I export from Poser in OBJ and use a converter to convert to 3ds. I think it's a restricted demo of 3dExplorer which still "saves as". Perhaps Poser 3dsExport scales inappropriately? It's a good idea to do as thgeisel recommends and load your new model into Poser, resize and position the model, export and re-import as this will then show scales for the model as 100% and positions as 0. It's very annoying to load a prop and find it has a scaling factor of 2%!
