Liz, your friend is going to love Amapi 6, I've been using it to build Poser stuff for a couple of years now, and having .obj import/export is a huge advantage. Regarding Amapi's import/export for .obj files, if you're going to be using numeric inches as your measuring units, then change the scaling factor from 1.00 to 100.00 If you prefer cm, then change it from 1.00 to 254.00 (1 inch = 2.54cm) Then make sure that none of the axes are being switched, so 'x becomes x', 'y becomes y' and 'z becomes z' (I can't remember now, but I thing the default setting switches at least one axis). This will enable you to move .obj files from Poser to Amapi and back again without any scaling or translation issues, which is very handy indeed (finally, you can make morph targets in Amapi LOL). BTW, you mentioned that you'll be doing the UV mapping - can I recommend that you get a copy of UVMapperPro (if you don't already have it). Between Amapi 6 and UVMapperPro you'll have all you need to creating Poser content. Best of luck. - Graham
