Hello,

I have an application for Poser that I am wondering if it's feasible to get done. I have video of an accident of someone slipping and falling inside a building. I have the mesh of where the accident happened and the camera location, target, roll, and focal length. I know exactly where the origin is and what the coordinate axes are in my CAD program, and I have the camera pose from that program relative to those coordinate axes.

Is there any tutorial for how I might accurately replicate the scene in Poser? I have been researching the scaling, and I now know that if I export my OBJ scene mesh in feet, I need to scale it down by 1/8.6*100% upon import into Poser. However, when the mesh comes in, the origin is not where I expect it to be. Furthermore, I don't know if I can precisely position the camera to my needs. Is there a way to display the inertial coordinate system that is used in Poser?

Is Poser viable for this type of task?

Thank you for reading.
