[b]Poser 3/4[/b] could interface with [b]Ray Dream Studio 5[/b], so that one could send Poser figures to & from [b]Ray Dream Studio 5[/b], where you can make morphs, etc. In other words, there was a BRIDGE between [b]Poser 3/4[/b] & [b]Ray Dream Studio 5[/b]. [b]Ray Dream Studio 5[/b] is no longer made, it was incorporated into [b]Carrara[/b]. [b]Carrara[/b] can import & export Poser figures... but I don't think it works like a BRIDGE. --- I see on the Internet Archive's WayBack Machine that someone had developed WHAT LOOKS LIKE a BRIDGE between [b]Poser[/b] & [b]Blender[/b] 2.58. They called it [b]Poser Tools For Blender, PT.[/b] Unfortunately, that free application no longer seems to be available to download. Here is the link to that website on the Internet Archive's WayBack Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20120103071659/http://www.blender3dclub.com/index.php?name=PT2 --- My questions are :mmmh: : 1) Do you perhaps [b][color=blue]have a copy that free application (BRIDGE ?), PT[/color][/b], and if you do, can you legally [b][color=blue]share it with us please[/color][/b] :pray: ? 2) If no one has a copy of that free application (BRIDGE ?), do you know of any other way in which Poser figures can be used in [b]Blender[/b], [b][color=blue]with the rigging & morphs usable in Blender[/color][/b] :dontknow: (in the same way that rigging & morphs are usable in [b]Carrara[/b]?) This would function similar to the BRIDGE between [b]DAZ Studio[/b] & [b]Blender[/b]. ----------------------------------- Nik Friday, 04 June 2021, 03:33 AM Re: Poser To Blender: Is There A Bridge? ----------------------------------- Poser [b][i]import [/i][/b]of FBX can be fraught, unless you have a 'trad' hierarchy, but what do Poser FBX [b][i]exports [/i][/b]look like ? And can Blender import such, complete with bones ?? May require a plug-in for Blender, may need to try several before finding one that will 'play nice' both ways... ----------------------------------- Chromium Sunday, 06 June 2021, 09:07 PM Re: Poser To Blender: Is There A Bridge? ----------------------------------- I can remember looking at the reverse some years ago as I was looking at nabbing a few FBX toon models. From my limited knowledge on this subject Collada's (.dae) format is used as the bridge. Daz Studio has the ability to export in Collada as should the Pro versions of Poser and Blender can import the Collada format. Of course you'll need to tweak the model once imported into Blender. Also there is something for DS to Blender here: http://diffeomorphic.blogspot.com/p/daz-importer-version-15.html
