Importing poser into other programs

[Rumour]

Thought I may as well ask the question here too.

I know we have a lot of Poser bunnies here, but does anyone here use other 3d programs and import Poser characters into them? I'm looking specifically for Poser to Lightwave (because then it looks like I can solve a whole HEAP of problems, including how to make clothing fit on ANY character, and not just the one model you don't have), but any other 3d program will do just as well. I'm just curious as to how easy it is to do and what - if any- issues you've found with it.

I know that LW can import Poser figures without too much hassle (only one polygon was looking like it was weird), but it'd be great to be able to rig the characters up and animate them.

If your interested I have a video tut on animating Poser direct to LW. Its about 9meg but if you want I can put it up somewhere for you to pick up.

Thanks for the help guys. It looks like it won't be too difficult to do this, I just have to find some time to squeeze into doing it. :+devwatch

choo, that vid would be cool. If you got the link somewhere that's all I need, else a link on something posted up would be cool. Do you use AIM at all?
