in case anyone is curious, I have a quick and dirty animation of apollo exported out of poser, into max. In this case just some basic arm poses and bends in order to run max cloth simulation on it.

I dunno if it's visible enough in a tiny clip like that, but the texture came through as well (see the nipples). I can post a screenshot that shows it better.
After I had the poser animation done, it took me whopping three button clicks to export out of poser, and another three to or so to import into Max.
With use of Pomax.
