Under this plan, I am going to rig and skin V4 in Max for use in Max, if I can reduce the poly count and preserve the facial morphs.

I've more or less given up on the idea of working in Poser and attempting to host my Poser scene in Max simply for render. I want the advanced animation tools native to Max, plus a special plug-in for facial animation.

Connie, Bodystudio does not transfer anything....it just hosts your Poser scene for render in Max, and I have not had a lot of luck getting it working...it drops texture maps and does not move shaders over.

Decimate all but face...that seems the right path to what I want. I'll look up that word in Max help. Thanks.

Cage...I'll follow that link and see what he did with Miki.

Thank you all for posting.
