OK, here's a fix though probably not ideal. I opened the file suditest_Boots.obj in UVMapper. You'll see a mess. I did Edit->Select->by Material..., selected "Boot" and hit ' to hide unselected materials. Result=blank screen, no facets are assigned to the Boot material. If you try Select->by Group..., there is no Boot group. So, I did Edit->New UV Map->Planar and took the defaults. Now, you get a recognizable template. Then I did Edit->Select->by Material..., selected "Boot" and the proper facets are selected in red. Then Edit->Assign->To Group and typed in "Boot." File->Save Model Gave it a new name and imported the new .obj into Poser and assigned some random texture maps to the different materials. Voila. So, it seems to be a UVMapping problem--there is a Boot material but nothing assigned to it. I say it's probably not ideal because the mapping should probably be cylindrical but you'll have to ask someone far more up on UVMapping about those details.
