Lindy, I did try importing Vicky in ALL of the available formats (e.g. 3ds, obj, dxf, and so on...) and found out none of them quite seemed to work. Especially, 3DS came out to have rough polygons when imported so I'd say it is the worst format to choose. The most seemingly candidate is OBJ format, which gives you "relatively" smooth polygons and visible texture, which is nowhere close to a perfect fit.

If someone cannot figure out how to make it work in TS4, I don't think just buying TS5 won't make things better as far as importing Vicky is concerned. Too bad it's so complicated. :-)

Thanks for your thought.
