Thanks Steve... I do have Max 3.1 and I will reinstall it and see what the difference is with the Poser plugin. I understand that when imported, it is all one solid object, and that is fine with me. What I can't fathom is... Is the pluging supposed to load the textures automatically? How did you get around the fact that 'Mike' has a head and a body texture if it is being imported as one solid object? Also (using 2.5) the hair is welded to the parent figure. Is this the case with 3.1 and if so, how do you get it to load a different texture on the hair? Sorry for bugging you but you seem to be the only one who has come forward with success in this department... Thanks again, Colm...
