posable characters for C4D

[edub]

I've been using the Zygote Man that comes in the C4D object library, but have discovered that he's not quite as flexible as needed. I need more flexibility in the spine, so that when the model is posed in a reclining position it doesn't look like he has a fused spine!

 

I've looked at axyz and dosch - but don't think they have the detail I need. Basically, I don't care about textures,as this figure will be rendered as a silhouette (see image).

 

Turbosquid doesn't seem to have anything suitable for this line of work - any other suggestions?

 

Would I be able to use a POSER model? will it have the same joints as the zygote people?

 

any help appreciated.

Poser can export in .3ds, else there's a plugin to import .pz3 models in c4d. I think it's the best way to import human models in c4d...

cheers,

will models imported from poser have nulls organized at the joints? what about bones (and IK)? would I be able to pose the model the same way as the zygote model, without spending time on rigging it?

There are two (or more) Poser>C4D plugins. I think they will bring in the whole 'rig', though I haven't tried either. I have brought a Poser figure into Cinema and rigged it with a bone rig someone else made. It was a lot of work, but I did it to learn about how, so it was fine.

 

The C4D forum at cgtalk.com is where I've read about the plugs.
