Maz, Harbware's I/O OBJ Plug for version 4 is fixed! If you use a scale vertex of "1" for Import & Export, you'll be fine! As for 3Dexploration, i only use it for "exotic" ones. Meaning for formats that i don't have the Modeler for, like Lightwave scenes(lwo). I find that Poser does a decent enough job of importing .3ds files. Lady Cherry, Is the .3ds file your trying to convert available on the Net? Cause, i could look at it in Max for you. IM me! Marco
