Quote - In PoseRay load all the LWO files at once by selecting all the files in the load 3D model... menu. You can select more than one file there.

This model does not have any bumpmaps. I do not know where the bump information came from since the model does not use texture maps.

To convert this model you can use these steps:

1- go to load 3D model...  Select all the LWO files that form the motorcycle model.
2- once the model is loaded go to the OBJ output tab and press save...
3- select the output directory and press OK
4- import the model into Poser or any other program that can read Wavefront.

The tutorials listed in PoseRay's manual list a more comprenhensive list of steps for this procedure but these are the basic steps.

Although PoseRay's dialogs may look complicated the only reason I did them that way is because I detest hidden options.

If you still are having problems please let me know.

Thanks to you and Frank T, I now have 20 new vehicles in my Vehicles Runtime. And I have 8 or 10 more to download from there.

Some I couldn't manage to convert  to .obj because Poseray couldn't find some bump files and because of that the vehicle wouldn't load properly in Poseray. So I just cancelled those when that happened and carried on.

I had one car load minus back wheels. I figure I'll still use that one and stick a block under the axels and add some rust,  lol

I encountered one instance with a motorcycle where when I imported the .obj into Poser that it was looking for some ani&light file or something. I cancelled the search and the bike imported seemingly without obvious defects.  Guess I'll see when I do a render and some part is missing.

However, it's worth the hassels because they are really good quality vehicles and finding free vehicles is pretty hard, especially Poser ready ones.
