Eovia Corporation, developer and publisher of 3D software, today announced the immediate availability of TransPoser. TransPoser is a full-featured plug-in to dynamically import animated Poser 4 and 5 figures into Carrara Studio 3.

Following a strategic partnership announced by Eovia and Curious Labs last May, users of Poser and Carrara Studio 3 will now have the ability to import and manage Poser 5 scenes and animations in Carrara Studio 3, including morph targets animation, skeleton animation, and hair and dynamic clothing. Furthermore, TransPoser uses the Poser engine directly inside Carrara Studio, for seamless integration of Poser figures and extraordinarily powerful results.

"TransPoser speaks to the need for a straightforward link between Poser and Carrara Studio," said Charles Brissart, director of software engineering for Eovia. "Many Poser customers are seeking out products that are capable of integrating their characters and animations into more complete and complex scenes, and Carrara Studio is an obvious solution."

"A large majority of Poser users have anxiously been awaiting the ability to use Poser and Carrara Studio together," said Katherine Howard, vice president for Curious Labs. "The professional edge for Poser comes alive when used together with the power of Carrara Studio."

Major Features:

• Import Poser figures with textures and clothing - Import Poser characters complete with textures (texture maps, bump maps, transparency maps), clothing, hair (Poser4 style only) and other props. You now have access to all the high-end content of Poser for your Carrara Studio scenes.


• Import fully animated Poser Scenes - Create your animation in Poser and import it in Carrara Studio. Bring the power of Carrara Studio to your Poser animations by adding physics, caustics, particles, high-quality rendering and more.


• Dynamic clothing - Simulate the animation of dynamic clothing in Poser and render it inside Carrara Studio exactly as it was in Poser!


• Consistent link with Poser - Modify the pose of your figure in Poser, reopen the Carrara Studio file and the pose of your character is updated.

The U.S. version of TransPoser is available immediately for the Mac and Windows platforms at a suggested retail price of US$129.00. Until April 15, 2004, TransPoser will be offered with free ground shipping (continental US only). For more information and direct purchase, contact Eovia in the U.S. at (866) 856-3775, or connect to the Eovia website. The TransPoser plug-in requires a valid install of both Carrara Studio 3 and Poser 4 or 5.
