for me 3ds works on some poser objects and not others. I've had some come in with seams still. I always try to get it in as a 3ds though because it comes in as only one object so Vue works with it faster. And yeah, the -1 thing is the same as mirror and offset. If you look at an obj file import under the patch E-On uses the -1 technique. Which was were I got the idea. The full directory paths thing sounds like a great idea. I'm sick of having to have multiple copies of all my textures. I've always had this long proceedure of copying all the textures to one directory. Putting the obj file there. Then opening it so I don't get errors on opening, Then editing the materials to point to the proper directories and saving out a .vob. Finally deleting all my duplicate textures. As you can imagine that's a pain to do...

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
