heyas; just mike: right, directories are sometimes called 'folders.' okay, here's what happens: poser exports and obj file and a mtl file (the materials.) the mtl file tells the obj what texture info to apply to the obj. for example, it will say something like blah blah texture: skintexture.jpg so when vue reads the obj/mtl pairing it looks for skintexture.jpg in the directory where the obj is (because there's no directory info on the line in the mtl file, see?) the easiest way, i think, is to open the mtl file poser exports and replace all the image file references with the full path to the texture. ie: blah blah texture: g:poserruntimetexturesskintexture.jpg or whatever. then, no matter where you put the obj and mtl file, it can find it's textures. you can keep all the textures wherever you normally store them, as well. otherwise, when you import the obj, vue will tell you it can't find this or that file, you say okay, the object imports, and you have to go and put the texture maps on by hand, anyway.
