i mostly use amapi 5.x for modelling - though there are some bugs. mostly i creat very simple shaped objects - export them as 3ds file format - import them into poser - and re-export them as obj. last step: i use uvmapper to create an uv-map, split vertices (for sharp edges), re-import them into poser, assemble them and save them into the poser library palette. this works good for architecture and scifi stuff. with organic shapes i have noc experience at all ... joek
