Another .obj question
Hi. I've never used .obj files together with Moho/Anime Studio however I know that .obj's may be imported into A.S. I'm wondering about the additional 3D content sold at Content Paradise and whether it may be used with A.S. and if so how? For example.....if a person wished to purchase an object at content paradise that is intended for use with Poser(ie. a table)....can that object ......after purchasing, only be opened with Poser(not sure if Poser objects are .obj's or another format)....and if so both Poser 5 and 6, or only Poser 6? (I don"t currently own Poser).If it must be opened with Poser.....do you then export the object as an .obj and then import to A.S. Do you need the "Python Script" for this. It seems to me I recall a post where someone using Poser 5 had exported an .obj .....then imported to A.S.Would appreciate if someone could clear up whether Content Paradise's content may be used and if so how and what (if any) other Apps/scripts are needed for this. Thanks.

Re: Another .obj question
You should be able to just import it right into AS.
File>import.
Good luck

This may be helpful to you-- as posted in one of my past topic discussions:
First, make sure you have the Poser-ASP py script provided by E-frontier.
Place the PY script in your Poser PY Folder
Load your prop or build your scene in Poser (--Lighting is a moot point, since no lighting info is exported)
Run the Poser-ASP5 PY script. (*NOTE-- the default Poser Export OBJ script will not work properly for ASP5.)
remember to export everything into a designated Folder, or you'll end up with files all over the place
Inside that folder will be an OBJ and MTL file---and several jpgs of the Textures needed.
Once that is done, launch ASP5.
Import the OBJ file.
It will look pretty cruddy.
Open the LAYER SETTING parameters,
open the 3D Options Tab
CHANGE the EDGE OFFSET number to "0"
This should clear up your Poser OBJ. From here, you can increase the Edge Offset values by .001 at a time and see how it effects your overall OBJ.
You may notice some errors here and there--which means that the Texture files were not exported/colored properly --- but you can fix these in Photoshop and reimport the OBJ file in ASP5 again--- or or go back to Poser, make adjustments for Color in the Material Room and export the prop again. It's not always going to be perfect, and realy depends on the original prop to begin with.
Add some shadow in ASP5...
in any case, it's pretty slick...
