Yeah, MikeJ
I gave up on most any plug-in Poser says it has, except for importing and exporting obj's.
Seven years ago, I would crash on a regular basis trying to get their Poser to LW animation plug to work, never did and they have still never made it work. Although I do understand some use(d) it.
Yeah, but their PZ3 to LWS plugin came out with PPP right after LW 7 was released; while advertised as a LightWave scene file (lws) import, was based on LW 6, and even said so in the ReadMe file.
It did work, sort of, but in a very limited capacity, then it was abandoned. The purported LWO import wasn't a part of that at the time, as LWO is a geometry, and not a scene, but they allowed the name-dropping included in the PPP feature list to deceive people into believing Poser knew how to deal with LWO2...and in an effort of either good faith or complete ignorance or contempt, allowed it to remain a feature worthy of advertisement.
