DAZ Studio provides you with models and actors who are always ready to perform.

I exported a model from DAZ Studio as wavfront obj file and
it imported into MED with no problems at all.

Has a lot of good features and seems easy to use so I thought
i'd let you guys know about it. Oh yeah it's also FREE.
Here is the link..

wow... this is hard to believe. it's free, offers out-of-the-box collada export (for other engines, btw. collada can be converted into fbx easily, in case you want to have animations in MED), just what i need at the moment. AWESOME!

it keeps telling me 29,95

Sure your clicking on the DAZ Studio and not one of the other products.

no i clicked on something wrong...

Hiya.

Might be worth reading the EULA of the software and, specifically, any "add-ons" (re: models, 'props', etc.) that you might buy/install for it. From what I gather, the DAZ|3D program/assets have the same type of restrictions as Poser. That is, you can use the program and models to create still images and rendered animations. Or to put it another way, you can't take their models, export them as .3ds (for example), and then import that into your game. Unless they have changed their minds and don't care if everyone takes their models and uses them with some other program that has nothing to do with DAZ...like, say, a game engine.

who says i'm gonna take their models or artwork in any way? i'm just eager to use their animation tool and their collada exporter.

Hiya.

Just saying to double-check the EULA is all. I think I'm gonna install it to see how well their COLLADA exporter works myself.
