Hi, I wanted to ask if it is possible to convert a Poser Figure into a 3D Studio max mesh? I know its possible but I mean if its worth the effort. This is just to get the mesh. No animations, no poses, no textures and nothing else. Simply convert the figure into wireframe mesh, cut down the polys with a poly reducer and do all the texturing and animations with 3D Studio max and Character Studio. Would I be able to do such a thing? Thanks in advance

Yes. And quite easy. Simply save the model in Poser under .3ds format and import the file in 3dsmax.

Wow. That easy? I thought its gonna require some type of converter and complicated things. Thanks. This is great news

If I may impose on this thread, if I have a Poser mesh, but no longer have access to Poser, is there any software that I can download to convert it to a more normal format (3DS, OBJ, ASE)?

Try the above. You should find a .obj importer/exporter which would allow you to convert poser.
