I thought I'd test the assertion that other figures do not show the same asymmetries in Poser as Antonia does. Long story short: all the Vickies I have do, but to varying degree and in various parts. I had some problems getting the original Posette object file into Wings, and I can't do the hi-res Jessi because she's too poly-heavy. But I suspect they have the same problem, and I'll try to do the comparison on them as well.

Antonia's first, of course, and here's the explanation of what you see: each mesh is duplicated and flipped along the x-Axis. The original is shown in cyan, the flipped copy in magenta. If everything were perfectly symmetric, we would only see cyan, because the original is rendered first, and the magenta from the flipped copy shows up only if it gets to lie in front of the original.

The image at the top is from the original mesh. That's the one Poser loads each time it reads the CR2, and as you can see, it's darn near perfectly symmetric. The image at the bottom is what comes out of Poser when the figure is loaded and then exported as an OBJ file in the zero pose. Not quite so symmetric anymore.
