Import & Export Menu

The Import/Export menu allows you to import and export files in 2D and 3D formats. It is essential when it comes to integrating Magic Poser with another software that you already use for your creative flow, such as Procreate or Blender. Let's look at the various files you can import / export with Magic Poser.

What can you import?

• Local files: You can import another 3D scene in "My Files" into the current 3D scene you are working on. This can be save a huge amount of time if you have a background or a pose that you use repeatedly in all your scenes.
• Magic Poser files (.mp): Magic Poser files (.mp) is our proprietary file format that you can import/export with our program. You can import a scene stored in .mp format. 

What can you export?

• PNG: PNG is one of the most widely used 2D image formats. You can export your scene into a high resolution PNG image for further use in Procreate, Photoshop or similar programs.
• Magic Poser scene files (.mp): Magic Poser files (.mp) is our proprietary file format that you can import/export with our program. You can export any 3D scene from the app in .mp format and back it up to your devices.
• OBJ: OBJ is one of the most widely used 3D file formats. You can export your scene as an OBJ for further use in Maya, Blender or similar programs.

Open the Import/Export menu

From Main Menu

From Preview Mode

• In 3D editor, tap on the Preview button  in the bottom left corner to enter preview mode.
• Tap on the import/export button  in the lower right corner. Please note that only the export options will show up, because preview mode disallows any edits to the scene, and thus disallows importing assets into the scene.
