What is PoseMagic2Pose?
PoseMagic2Pose's purpose is to convert a Poser Scene file (pz3) that contains poses achieved with 'PoseMagic' (http://market.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=43217) into regular pose files that can be used without PoseMagic.
Of course you can also use it to extract any other figure poses from a pz3 ;-)
What does PoseMagic2Pose cost?
PoseMagic2Pose is and will be free for non commercial use.
If you're using it commercially (eg. using it to create pose packages), you will have to purchase it. See my Renderosity Store (http://market.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?vendor=Dizzi).
If you don't use it commercially, you're of course also invited to purchase it if you find it usefull :-)
Requirements
PoseMagic2Pose is a Java Application based on Sun's Java 1.4.1.
If you do not have Java installed and are a Windows user, please download it from Sun's Server (http://java.sun.com/). You'll want the latest JRE (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp) (not the JDK!) and do not download the J2EE (the enterprise edition), the J2SE (standard edition) is what you need.
If you're using an Apple computer, please check Apple's Site (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/java/).
Now you only need to download the PoseMagic2Pose.zip (http://neocron.webspaceforme.net/pm2p/PoseMagic2Pose.zip) file and extract it to a folder of your liking. With a properly installed Java environment, you can run it like any other program (just double click it :-)). You can place it anywhere you like, no installation necessary.
Usage
1. Click the top most "Choose..." button to select the Poser scene file to work with
2. Click "Load"
3. Select the figure you want to get the pose information from
4. Adjust settings (see below for information on settings)
5. Select the target Pose file via the bottom most "Choose..." button.
6. Hit the "Save" button!
7. You can now apply the pose to a figure without a PoseMagic prop and it should result in the same pose :-)
8. Report bugs / post questions / ask for features here ;-)
If you're lost, you may want to check the detailed instructions (http://www.neocron.webspaceforme.net/pm2p/readme.html).

PoseMagic2Pose v1.0.6 is available now:
http://neocron.webspaceforme.net/pm2p/PoseMagic2PoseV1_0_6.zip
Changes:
- the save dialog is a save dialog now
- Different open/save dialogs used for Mac OS X (see this thread (http://neocron.webspaceforme.net/alforum/index.php?topic=34.0)). Unfortunately those dialogs doesn't allow multi selection of files anymore. Batch processing (on Mac) will now use the folder the selected file was in rather than the selected files (as that's always only one now ;-)).
- Full Body Morphs (FBMs) will now be saved when "include Morph Targets" is selected, even if "include BODY actor" is not selected
Documentation not yet updated.
- Documentation updated to match V1.0.6.
- PoseMagic2Pose.zip now contains V1.0.6.
- V1.0.0 now availabe in my Renderosity Store. You may want to wait for the start of the sale ;-)
PoseMagic2Pose is now on sale in my renderosity store... (http://market.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=43543) Just in case you've got it on your wishlist and didn't get a sale notice.
v1.0.8 available (http://neocron.webspaceforme.net/pm2p/PoseMagic2PoseV1_0_8.zip).
Only change:
Progress bar displayed while loading/saving
v1.0.9 with some minor tweaks available (http://neocron.webspaceforme.net/pm2p/PoseMagic2PoseV1_0_9.zip).
Some minor changes:
- Added "figure{}" lines to the end of the generated pz2, so figures should now completely take the poses and not only partially take them until you select Poser's preview window...
- indentation in the pose file now closer to how Poser does it (saves some bytes ;-))
v1.0.10 with some minor tweaks available (http://neocron.webspaceforme.net/pm2p/PoseMagic2PoseV1_0_10.zip).
Parsing glitch removed that could lead to too much of the same data added to an actor and thus to the resulting pose. If you've got any body parts moving into a weird position, this version should fix it.
