Yes Sharen of Sams3d walked me thru it. I have AutoCad 2000. I can walk u thru later tonight.... if she doesn't see this post. It involves exporting and reimporting in AutoCad first. Also, there are numeric settings for arc and circle smoothness, segments in a polyline curve, rendered object smoothness, and contour lines per surface. These numbers are magic and I have them at home. I think you set these numbers under the options menu in AutoCAD, export once as 3dstudio format, re-import, then finally export again, open in Poser, export, open UVMapper, then finally back to Poser. It involves putting things you want to have seperate materials or prep for rigging on different layers on AutoCad and changing their chosen colors. I found that the smooth polygons function in Poser causes mucho trial and error problems, so I always when making models in AutoCad check each object before making a whole bunch of stuff just to find out I made it wrong. I'm sure Sharen will be along shortly to help you. I have archived all her IM's so maybe I can help if she's unavailable.
