Just don't assume the referenced geometry of newer figures will be in OBJ format Quite honestly I don't mind if it isn't. Most of the other formats are compressed by one routine or another making them far smaller, resulting in the ability to have much larger collections in a much smaller area. Quite frankly I much prefer 3ds or lwo format because they retain all the part information and are eminently animateable, obj is just too damned big sometimes. That in my opinion is where Poser fails dramatically. Being utterly incapable of reading grouping information from 3ds and other formats. I would have a hell of a lot more fun with 3DS models (smaller) as figures and we'd have a huge amount more variation in available characters because those from other applications could have been incorporated (by those who can afford them) possibly driving the development of the millenium folk further through that larger competition field. Studio obviously does and will support obj as a geometry reference, I /really/ don't mind if it branches out to other things, I have a huge amount of vehicles, characters and other things that I can't use in Poser because of the pain in converting the damn things.
