I think I understand your problem. You want to bring a Poser .Obj model into the spline modeler. Well... You can't do that. An .Obj file is a vertex model and it is completely different from a spline model. Carrara will convert a spline model into a vertex model but not the other way around. I don't think there is any way to convert a vertex model into a spline model. So If you want to model around a .obj file you will have to use the vertex modeler. Although the spline modeler is easier to use, the vertex modeler is much more flexible allowing you to do things that can't be done in the spline modeler. I found it well worth the time it takes to learn. I do all my modelling now in the vertex modeler. Hope this helps. Keith
