The miscellaneous (Misc.) category is as non-specific as I could think of, as far as not being tied into a particular program goes... If I upload a .obj file I think it should show up under all programs that can load/import an .obj file. As it is now - you either post under one program or repost many times to cover different programs (dunno whether Renderosity likes that. Hmmm...) Same should be true with other common formats like .3ds or .vrml. Dunno if the Renderosity admin would like to tinker with that, but it might be worth consideration. (Right now, afaik an .obj can be placed in: Poser, mesh object; Bryce, objects; Carrara/RDS, models; Gaming, general; Lightwave, objects; Misc., .obj; Mojoworld, objects; Rhino, main?; Vue, objects. Quite a bit of territory to cover. Similar situation with .3ds.) There are some program specific categories that do make sense, as file formats are inherent only to one program. CR2 for Poser, and .obp for Bryce (should really have two categories for B4 or B5), or .max for 3DS max, etc.
