Convert PZ2 to PZ3

Understanding pz2 and pz3 file formats

PZ2 files are Pose Preset files used primarily by Poser, a 3D rendering and animation software. These files store pose information for 3D models, allowing users to quickly apply predefined poses to their characters.

PZ3 files are Poser Project files. They contain a complete scene, including 3D models, poses, lighting, camera settings, and other scene data. PZ3 files are used to save and load entire projects in Poser.

Why convert pz2 to pz3?

Converting a PZ2 pose file to a PZ3 project file allows you to embed a pose directly into a full scene, making it easier to manage and share complete projects with all necessary settings and assets included.

How to convert pz2 to pz3

There is no direct one-click converter for PZ2 to PZ3, as PZ2 files are pose presets and PZ3 files are full project files. However, you can achieve this conversion by following these steps in Poser:

1. Open Poser and load your desired 3D character or scene.
2. Go to File → Import → Pose and select your PZ2 file to apply the pose to your character.
3. Once the pose is applied, go to File → Save As → Poser Scene and save your project as a PZ3 file.

This process embeds the pose from the PZ2 file into a new PZ3 project file, preserving all scene data.
