A couple of questions. Did you assign materials to the different parts in max? Or are they all just different colors? If there are no materials, poser will assign a single preview material to the whole obj at random. Second. Does the object have any uv mapping at all? If so, have you tried putting a texture on it? Something similar happened to me with a program called plant studio. I discovered that, for some bizarre reason, it was switching the color values, and instead of setting the Object color, I had to use ambient. This was a couple of years ago, so I'm not sure, but I think it had something to do with me exporting as 3ds and not obj. Mind you, I always export from max as 3ds and convert to obj in poser and I've never had a problem yet. In fact, I find 3ds a lot more stable and trouble-free. mac
