Umm, probably not the right thread to post in (don't want to hijack), but OTOH, it might be useful here too...
I have V5I, P5 & P6. I mostly do outdoor scenes. (Oh, and I have P5/6 set to save w/o any compression/external stuff).

My problem comes when I want to pose a figure (or sometimes several) on a non-flat surface.
My solution to date has been to create the terrain in Vue, try to remember the (approximate) ground-level, pose some figures in P6,  save and see how close I got. Then it's a l-o-o-o-n-g session of going back and forth between Poser & Vue, trying to get the figures' feet to stay on the ground...

Many times I have resorted to hiding the feet with vegetation/rocks/a small wall, whatever, but is there a way of saving the terrain such that it can be imported (with reasonable scale) into Poser, so that I can use it to pose my figures against?

I've tried exporting terrains as .obj files, but the result (when imported into Poser) seem to be a flat plain. Or should I bake to polys 1st, before exporting?

Just want to know, before I spend endless hours experimenting...

Cheers,
Diolma
