oh my, thank you, hawk999, for taking the trouble of writing this tut. bad thing is, my modeller (amapi) is unable to deal with bhv and fbx. apart from that it seems to me as if geometries exported from poser figures cannot be trusted... i think i'll go the smartparent way. since there are no bending parts this will be the easiest way. with a couple of remote controls it should do. i just don't really like it to have tons of props hangin' around. it's so 'unprofessional' - (muaha! biiig words!!!) and as for "Who knows what the future will hold though?" i rather have them add a snap-to function for the setup-room, imo that would be the best of all worlds!
