Thanks Pat, but I've got sooooooo much work to do. Even with Muvizu making much of it easy, it can't help with writer's block or straight fright. I have a lot of respect for Pixar is all I can say.

Pixar and the other big dogs in the playground certainly do a good job... but it's partly because they divide the work up between pros in every area of expertise. Professional modellers.. professional writers... professional song writers... professional camera operators.. professional directors...

One of the things I like about the Muvizu experience is watching how INDIVIDUALS wear all the hats at once. And I tend to have the most respect for those who wear all the hats reasonably well. There are a bunch of people here on the forum who are truly gifted in that way. I won't name names, but anybody who has watched the videos in the gallery knows who they are.]]> Wed, 02 Mar 2016 13:14:48 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5552-importing-fbx-with-doubesided-polys.aspx Message from braj Wed, 02 Mar 2016 02:00:20 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5552-importing-fbx-with-doubesided-polys.aspx Message from PatMarrNC Tue, 01 Mar 2016 22:33:05 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5552-importing-fbx-with-doubesided-polys.aspx Message from braj Tue, 01 Mar 2016 22:24:04 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5552-importing-fbx-with-doubesided-polys.aspx Message from braj ]]> Tue, 01 Mar 2016 22:22:31 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5552-importing-fbx-with-doubesided-polys.aspx Message from ziggy72 Tue, 01 Mar 2016 22:15:41 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5552-importing-fbx-with-doubesided-polys.aspx Message from braj

The only thing I've tried to import from Poser was a car... exported to obj, then used Blender to create an FBX... but it came into Muvizu all jumbled up, so I didn't even try to solve the core problem.

FWIW, the latest poser pro has added a lot of features that I think would be useful with Muvizu:

notably...
1) FBX export
2) Polygon reduction
3) Lots of tools for creating new characters from the existing ones, even morphing people into animals (You could take screen shots at various stages of the morphing process then animate your human turning into a werewolf)
4) A fitting room for adapting clothes to characters]]> Tue, 01 Mar 2016 20:25:12 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5552-importing-fbx-with-doubesided-polys.aspx Message from braj Tue, 01 Mar 2016 19:13:50 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5552-importing-fbx-with-doubesided-polys.aspx Message from braj
1. Exporting from Poser, make sure the collada file doesn't include any animation. It screws up all the scaling somehow.

2. In Blender, instead of trying to flip normals with a duplicate frame, I chose solidify instead, that made insides, also increased poly count, but at least in the one model I am working on it looks fine. So this will work on all 3d stuff, provided the geometry is ok with it.]]> Sun, 28 Feb 2016 22:16:43 GMT http://www.muvizu.com/Forum/topic5552-importing-fbx-with-doubesided-polys.aspx Message from braj Sun, 28 Feb 2016 21:09:19 GMT
