Quote - do you know of a tutorial or a thread somewhere that explains how to get a poser scene into Lightwave?

There is a SM plug-in for Lightwave.  I know when I purchased Poser Pro it was FREE.  There is another one but it isn't FREE.

Poser to Lightwave 3D Kit

I'd try the SM free version first.  And of course there is Greenbriar Studio's plug-ins.
