Any news on the Daz/Arena plugin? I see that Daz has a new animation module that can work with imported bvh data.

Hey Bryan,

I'm using Poser Pro. e-frontier isn't around, so I guess I'll look at Smith Micro for it. I'll try 6.

Thanks!--Tim

Hey Bryan,

Quick question: how do you get a bvh out of Motion Builder to bring into Poser? I downloaded the MB demo, and it looks like you can import a BVH, but that you can only export FBX(?)
