3DS MAX F.A.Q (Updated: 2017 Nov 16 11:01 am)
Welcome to the 3DS Max Forum!
Considering 3ds Max? Download the FREE 30-day trialhere
On a side note, I tried downloading the Guruware OBJ exporter but the guruware download server is timing out. I found the 0.94b version zip on another site and downloaded it but when I copied it into my Max folder, I discovered that I already had the file there and that my file date is newer so I didn't overwrite it.

Example Poser (OBJ Wave front object)
Open the file if you can in poser when it’s open on the poser file click on export as an obi file choose a single file it says (start frame 1 to end frame 30) click on ok. The next part is you select the hierarchy selection I usually uncheck the ground plane because there is already on in 3ds max. then you click on ok next is export as OBJ change the file save as a file name, in the type of file use the dropdown menu and choose OBJ (wave front object.
Now save your model to desktop open up 3ds studio max
3ds max
Click file import select file to import from I save mine on my desktop click the drop down menu on type of file for OBJ (wave front object) select that file you exported from poser.
Click file import select file to import from I save mine on my desktop click the drop down menu on type of file for OBJ (wave front object) select that file you exported from poser.
Click open then it says OBJ importer import options if you have a single file then put the dot in there. If you have more then 1 object then put the dot Multi on the right side you see geometry make sure these are all checked.
Apart from center pivot under that you see material check that. Then click okay now the should is imported from poser into max.
You cannot import textures from poser into max they are two different programs you need to re-add the texture

libertycityanimation (I tried to look up your homepage for your real name, but you haven't posted a bio)
single file it says (start frame 1 to end frame 30) click on ok.
I agree with this part.
The next part is you select the hierarchy selection I usually uncheck the ground plane because there is already on in 3ds max.
Yes uncheck the ground plane, but no there isn't one in Max unless you create one.
then you click on ok next is export as OBJ
Not in Poser 7. The next dialog to appear is Export Options. Here I usually check the following:
**- Weld body part seams
**- Weld body part seams
- As morph target (no world transformations)
- Include body part names in polygon groups**
I have found this to be the best IF you intend to use a poser figure as a mannequin to model something for the figure.
3ds max
Click file import select file to import from I save mine on my desktop click the drop down menu on type of file for OBJ (wave front object) select that file you exported from poser.

Once again depending on the version of Max. Max 11 (2009) comes with guruware's obj importer 'gw::OBJ-Importer (.OBJ)*'
The gw importer dialog window will appear. Here I click the Check Box : Import as single mesh.
And here's the real import one!
Object Scale 100.0
Because the default is set to 1.0. Poser meshes are extremely small. So, by scaling it to 100.0 will ensure that it imports to Max's Unit scale.

I don't usually import the materials. But guruware does a pretty decent job of importing materials from Poser. It creates Multi/Sub material that is easily navagable and editable.
You cannot import textures from poser into max they are two different programs you need to re-add the texture
I have successfully imported textures including trans mats into Max from Poser, so I don't know what difficulties you are experiencing.
This has been my workflow and it works for me. Depending on your various versions your mileage may vary.

In the Perspective View you have a ground plane that is what i talking about. i try to use poser 7 all the time and i export from poser into max just fine. You use must use a Plugin Curtis that's why you can import texture(s). I just do it streight from poser into max so i can add my own texture.
I usually don't give out my email because to many ppl ask me for files because they download max from peer 2 peers.

I do not use any plugins. Can't afford them. There is a tutorial out there on how to properly import a poser figure into max (w/o plugins) with textures. Transmats will have to be tweaked. I've followed this tutorial and it has worked for me.
I didn't realize you were refering to the ground grid in Max. But that's just a grid not a plane and non-renderable. The Ground object in Poser is renderable. It is actually a mesh (a one polygon square).

I wasn't criticizing you. Really, I like that fact that you posted this thread and offered your work flow. I would never have thought of doing that. But I also teach Max so its kind of a habit of mine to correct things dealing with Max. I hope you don't take offense if I do.
In fact there are probably other members out there who are laughing at our solutions. I'm just a hobbyist anyway.

Libertycityanimation, if after using max 7, 8 and 9, and poser 6, 7 you are not sure what the ground gris is, I think you need to stick to poser and take a good look at some tutorials
