Hi Paul, You don't need Poser to do what you want to do, that's getting models in other format into Vue 3.1 If it does not require posing in Poser, you can get the free stuff you down loaded like Lightwave file (.lwo), 3ds, dxf etc...and convert them into wavefront .obj using program like 3D Explorer, PolyTrans (sp?) and Crosswind or crossroad (sorry I quite recall the actual neame). They are fully working demos for 30 days or so. If you have any free .lwo files downloaded fron somewhere, Vue 3.1 support up to LW version 5.6 only. Not sure about Maxs. Bill
