 Digimation Ships GestureMAX Posted by: amigo

Date: Thu Apr 15 2004
April 13,2004 - Digimation announced today that it has begun shipping GestureMAX 1.0 for 3ds max 5.1 and 6.x. GestureMAX is a file import plug-in that enables end users to import Poser models and optionally have skeletons, skinning, and rigging applied to those characters so they are ready to animate.
�In the past, importing Poser models could be done, but then you had to manually build the skeleton, skin, and rig the model for animating,� said Todd Peterson, Director of the Software Division at Digimation. �With GestureMAX, the majority of this work is completed for you and all you have to do is tweak the envelope settings and begin animating. With added support for Character Studio�s Biped and Physique, this is a must have plug-in for any animators who work with Poser models.�
As a file import plug-in, GestureMAX enables you to import Poser .PZ3 files directly into 3ds max. To accomplish this, you must have either Poser 4 or Poser 5 installed on your system as GestureMAX will import different parts of the models from various directories within the Poser installation.
All Actors, Figures and Props (to use Poser terminology), along with the textures and morphs are effectively moved from the Poser environment to the 3ds max environment. In addition, the user has the option to rig the Figure, using native max bones, or Character Studio biped, and to skin the Figure using the skin modifier, or Character Studio Physique. The new 3ds max characters are ready to be added to the pipeline for animation and rendering.
Overall, GestureMAX makes the job of importing and animating Poser characters within 3ds max a breeze. In addition, GestureMAX fully supports network licensing and license transfers for ultimate flexibility in your licensing needs.

GestureMAX is now available for $195 until April 30th, after which it will have an SRP of $295. Volume discounts, site licensing, and educational versions are also available.
