I use SW and Poser. SW will assign the most rudimentry of materials to the model. Those materials are only adaquate for rendering with PhotoWorks from within SW. I'm assuming that you are converting your SW part to OBJ with Polytrans (my choice) or some other conversion routine. SW assigns poor if any UV maps to the parts and you will need to map and group all of your exported/converted SW parts. While SW is a great 2 1/2D modeler and is outstanding for mechanical modeling, there are a lot of compromises necessary for it's use with Poser. If interested, you can look at one of my sites where all the valves and "hardware" were modeled in SW, converted, mapped and grouped and added to Poser scenes for the web content. Feel free to ask any other SW related questions. Mike http://www.machiningsolutions.org
