LL, The link above is to the site where you can get 3D Exploration. I'm assuming you are on a PC with Windoze? There is no Mac version of it. But if so, then if you're going to be doing alot with 3D models, you need this program, trust me. It's shareware, nit free, but the download is for the fully functioning 30 trial. I guess you could say it's "trust-ware". But it is very good, and can convert all that weird stuff into more common formats such as 3ds, obj,, and all that. And it reads .prj files, which is what the chapel is, as well as the .cel files which I think is 3D Studio Max' version of a bump map, but I'm not so sure of that. Then you load the .prj file into 3D Exploration, and let it do it's thing, and then you can save it out as wavefront.obj, and choose the export option , "generate a .mtl file". Then you have to ssave that .obj file into the same folder that you unzipped all the files from the chapel.zip into. It looks really strange in Poser, I have to say, but once you get inside of it, you'll see what I mean. But it's definitely worth it! I just did a few quick renders of it in Bryce and Vue d'Esprit, and it's got to be one of the most unique models I've ever seen. Trust me on getting 3D Exploration, too, because you will never regret it. I know I made this quick, but believe me, there's nothing complicated about the whole process, really, and if you need more info on how to do it, by all means, ask and I can help you more. :) Cheers, MIke
