"Is there anyway a sceen with , for example, 5-10 objects be converted to 1 object either from poser or from an external 3d editor?" Yes. Easily. Use File->Export->Wavefront obj", the select the bits you want to export. Uncheck all the export options (probably). "And if so would the new object be able to be mapped using the a image of the original sceen made in poser?" No. (If you are talking about UV-mapped objects). 'cos Wavefront .objs (or other format), don't preserve anything except the simplest of the Mat-room materials. But what you can do is assign separate materials (probably best to use just basic diffuse colours) to the areas you want to texture. When you import the .obj, those regions/groups will still be available, so you can re-apply the textures to them. (PS - you can save the original textures in the Mat-room library in a temp folder, then quickly re-apply them to the imported object).. "And if all this is possible if the object is brought back into poser and rendered, would the render time be faster, since poser is only rendering one object with one texture? " Probably not faster to render. But since the object is now just a single piece, you'll be able to scale/move it a lot easier...:-) Hope that helps, Cheers, Diolma
