fuzz???while i can't speak for maya...in max textures are given a slight blur by default...look under the relevant map's 'properties' subsection in the material editor make sure "blur" is set to zero...not 1.0!there are also other subsections that can affect how things look..the "supersampling" roolout in the same mat editor can have an effect..as can your renderer settings..AA settings?motion blur if it's an animation..OR if it's a single frame of a multiple frame file??? ...max has all the flexibility that poser doesn't just as you say...if things are blurring there's likely a setting that's doing it or a setting to fix it if you look long enough :)
