General Modo - OCTANE - POSER question - IMPORTING

Hi,

Let me ask this question, without rustling any feathers, hopefully.

Any news on a POSER > OCTANE > MODO workflow?

I almost bought MODO 6 - but the FBX import tests I did - faired poorly.

I would take a look again if FBX is fixed { flawless animation included ] and they get Poser import.

thanks

There is no import option from Octane to any of the plugins. It goes the other way (ie. plugin to Octane). So you would go Poser->Modo (via fbx)->Octane (assuming you have OctaneRender for Modo).

Hi Paul,

Ok.

Stop here. I wasn't aware Poser had fbx export?


>Octane (assuming you have OctaneRender for Modo).

ok.

1. Is there a direct Poser to Modo plugin in the works?

2 Any opinions on FBX itself, working in MODO 7?


thanks

The new Poser Game Dev version.

No

I haven't tried fbx in Modo - sorry.

The new Poser Game Dev version.

aha! well thats theoretically good news!

Unfortunately FBX is the most problematic format in the industry: BUT RARELY works properly. Many show stoppers out there.

Wheres

1 A review of FBX export from Poser Game? to various apps?

2. A general review of FBX IMPORT animation in modo proper?

3. Have you tested FBX from this Game Dev to Modo via octane?

a Do all materials come in in ONE click?

b flawless Animation tested ?

c. How big a scene will make it through the pipeline?

d. Have you applied special coding tweaks to make this workflow flawless?

e. are there similar apps to this Poser game dev app?

thanks

I'm sorry Gold - I don't have answers to your questions.

well,

thanks for trying anyways. Its probably early days to find answers.
