Hello,

PoseRay is an utility to convert Poser4 Scenes into POV-Ray code and 
Moray UDO files. It handles the geometry with the least intervention 
from the user and it was done with ease of operation in mind.

In this release I included import of camera and lights directly from the 
Poser scene file. This allows the user to set the camera and lights in 
Poser and get them in POV-Ray without having to set them manually (which 
I always found very time consuming to get right).

The features include:
     * Import Camera from PZ3 files (new)
     * Import Lights from PZ3 files (new)
     * Material editor including color,
       surface finish, texture and bumpmap (improved)
     * Blending of textures and color in the same material (new)
     * Support for POV-Ray 3.5 (new)
     * Groups and materials are kept in the translation
     * Will create MegaPOV and Moray UDO files
     * Translate or scale the entire scene


PoseRay splits the obj file into separate POV meshes based on group and 
materials so that you can use them separately if desired.

Make sure you read the manual for tips and troubleshooting.

good luck,

Will it convert Poser3 files? (that is the version I have)
Thanks in advance.

It may but I have not tested it with that version of Poser since I do 
not have it. As long as you could export the scene to Wavefront format 
you can at least try to convert it to POV-Ray code. I have no idea if it 
will be able to read camera and light information from a Poser 3 file. 
You may just give it a try.. it is a small download.

later,

i too have poser3.  sadly, it appears that poser3 will not produce
the mtl file along with the obj.  i selected "export object groups for
each body part", as the instructions say you must in order to get the
mtl, but alas, i don't get an mtl file.

i'm not experienced with poser3.  can anyone confirm that the mtl
file is not produced in poser3 with an export as obj?  can anybody
tell me how to get that file, short of buying poser4?

thank you, miker
