Ray, I've been using BodyStudio for a month now (I'm a user, not a developer or tester for Reiss) and I've found it to be the most stable of all the Poser-MAX transfer systems. The image is a Body Studio imported pz3 from Poser 5 rendered in MAX 5.1 using advanced lighting with skylight and one target spot. I had to change only one parameter: currently, transmapped clothing is imported with the material as one-sided when it needs to be two-sided for a complete geometry render and GI shadow production. Not a big deal. Animation import is good - the image is the final frame of a 15 frame Cloth Room simulation. Updating the pz3 works well with pose alteration and new geometry additions - the max file is automatically updated. But there does seem to be a problem with the update of the material file: new materials are not added to the existing max file and I've found it necessary to import the pz3 from scratch to get these. Hope this helps. Ian
