What settings are you using on export from Poser?
Have you tried copying the original OBJ from geometries folders? Trying that will tell us if the problem is within poser or Max. If the original mesh imports and exports fine, then the issue is with Poser.

A you exporting an original figure, which one? or something that's already morphed with dials in poser?
