Well, I found several GREAT books on Lightwave at B Dalton as well as Walden Books. I Lightwave 5.6 Applied and it is awesome. As far as props from Lightwave to Poser, Export the file in something like OBJ format and then in poser you can play with it more and do whatever you wanted to. A good book for poser, depending on version, is the Poser 4 Handbook.
