As for the lamp, absolutely sure...I don't use textures in poser at all since getting vue. I just set up materials in vue for stuff like "vicky head" etc and use those. This was 4 objects including the lamp grouped as a single .obj and exported without any applied maps (all white). Then when I went to apply maps by hand, they would apply but not correctly (like, lips were face color, irises were face color, hair was transparent in the wrong places, etc.). I've had that torus problem too. One of my standard poser figures wears a brow ring in poser, which is IMHO a fairly mild piercing. In vue she's much more radical with a giant telescoping spike thru her head! MaryCanary
