Poser doesn't support too many formats on import. OBJ and 3DS for geometry, BVH for motion/animation. Not much else as you may have noticed. DXF and LW5 are rather basic and archaic formats these days. Shade, having spent most of its life as a native of Japan, probably isn't as conversant in the variety of formats available. It could be that LE is not equipped with these. You'll have to check the supported import/export formats for Std and Pro to see. Shade Std supports: Import: OBJ, DXF, EPSF (whatever that is) Export: OBJ, DXF, VRML2.0, POV-Ray, Shockwave, RIB So, it is possible that Pro supports even more (?). It'd be great if some of the Poser Python gurus would get down to writing import/export scripts (hint), though I have no complaints whatsoever with the work of PhilC and Kamilche... ;0) In lieu of these, the only options are applications that do conversions to the few available Poser import formats. Right Hemisphere's Deep Exploration is pretty darn good at this and I use it whenever such a need arises.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
