Subject: How to preserve mesh animation in 3DS Max after optimizing the mesh

Hello I've been battling an issue with 3DS Max whereby after importing a Poser Scene via PoserFusion and applying a Mesh Optimizer (to reduce polygon count) I'm losing the animation on the model.

I've tried using ProOptimizer and MultiRes and after applying both optimizations the mesh no longer animates.

The only one that preserved the animation was the basic Optimize modifier, but I found it too simple an optimization and tweaking it only led to ugly deformations of the mesh.

Can anyone help me find a way to optimize the mesh in 3DS Max while retaining the animation generated from Poser?

Thanks.
