Without the propack, you'll need to ge the habware importer/exporter plugin for max (http://www.habware.com/duck.htm) - be careful about scale, the obj file imports real small. The 3ds option works well as well - please note, when fussing with textures use the "picker" to select the mesh and a multi sub mat will pop up - you'll need to apply the texture to each category. The PPP links the scene and eases the pain of textures, more than likely though you'll have to reinstall poser without the 4.03 upgrade - the ppp does this
