I cannot get the formZ->Maxwell plugin to Render figures that came from Poser WITH their texture maps...
My process is as follows:
Export figures from Poser 7 to OBJ format.
Import OBJ with the option to import texture maps.
The models render just fine in formZ IF I don't do any type of surface manipulation to screw up the UV mapping. This is a bit of a bummer, since there is often too much detail for my purposes, but I digress.
They do NOT however render in Maxwell. When I try to initiate a Maxwell render from the plug-in, formZ seems to get stuck processing the model and NO MXS or exported textures are created. I'm guessing that the plug-in doesn't like the kid of UV mapping that comes from Poser...
Is there any work-around to this? Can I pass the OBJ files through another program to bake the textures to the mesh in a different way that Maxwell likes?
Please HELP!
