The quick answer is "no, we can't export a character mesh from Muvizu"

awesome Ikes!

Since you already know how to do it, any chance you'd be willing to extract the basic mesh for each of the Muvizu characters and post the collection somewhere in OBJ format?

For the purpose intended, details don't matter.. just the basic shape and size.

Thanks Ziggy, do you do all the texturing and rendering using 3D Coat?
The visual quality of your screenshots always look better than anything I can achieve in Muvizu.

And thanks for the Fat Man Pat

I can control them at last! Well, not really - it's just a static mesh, but it's a great base to work from (and very accurate, of course).

Hats off to Ikes for pointing us in the right direction

And apologies to Primaveranz, I seem to have hijacked your thread! but hey, it's lead to something positive - whatever position you want the patient to lie in, it can be done much more convincingly now

I have extracted the default actors and uploaded them here as OBJ and blender:
www.ikes.nl/downloads/muvizu_default_meshes.zip

ikes it looks really good......The link to the zip doesn't work

the upshot of all this is that, with models, UV maps and keyframing, we can now create all those moves that were never before possible with standard actions.

Ikes,
what ZIP program and version did you use to create this archive? I downloaded it but my version of 7ZIP doesn't know how to extract it

Extracted and prepped as FBX models.



I will put this set into the store (free, of course) so you can use it for reference if you don't want to have to extract the figures yourself.

Dude, have you ever tried to make something in a 3d package and then try to get it to match the dimensions/curves of a character? It ain't easy, and the characters move, and you have to put them into poses to see what's happening... This set just keeps them nailed in place in a nice, easy to see pose when creating new attachments.
