Is there a way to import a character with it's skin already on??? I have been creating characters in Poser with hope of using them in Gamestudio, is this even posible??? If so, any help/guidance on how to do so would be much appreciated! The models I have been importing are simply blue in MED! Thank you to anybody who can help....

Hop that helps So this imports a fully skinned Poser character into MED? How do I export in microsoft .x format? It is not on the export option list in my copy of Poser 7. Do I then add bones and animate in MED, or set keyframes in Poser before exporting? I have been told a couple of different ways, none of which have worked for me!

I use fragmasoft for my exporting basicly because it can import almost anything and then I just tweak a bit then export to ms format then import into WED.. It's also very cheap to buy.. Is there a plugin available? If not try saveing the skin/s and then import the skin/s into MED after you load your model..

None of the ones I have tried seem to work - unless I am missing something really obvious?! I have managed to get the figure to appear skin-less but then when I import the skins I have no option of applying the limb map to the limbs and the torso skin to the torso....I can only select it as a whole. This is realy doing my head in!
