Basically, if you're going to use the obj more than once, I'd suggest converting it to a pp2. That way it ends up in your library and it's just more convenient :o) But you're right, if it's something you just want to load in the background for one image, there's no REAL reason to concert it to PP2. it's just easier. And since you get a neat li'l thumbnail too, the possibility of forgetting what "Neat_Prp.obj" was gets eliminated :o)
