 Can anyone tell how to step by step, import a poser character (with all the textures) into lightwave. I have lightwave 9.3 and poser 8. I tried exporting my figure from poser as a Lw file and also as a wavefront obj but both had no textures when i loaded it in lightwave.
Any help?Thanks in advnce

There is a LW script that will read and load whatever is in the mtl file that is created when you export from Poser as an obj.  You dont get Poser node based textures, you do get image based stuff.

http://www.mikegreen.name/       mtl import/export  under plugins

export obj from Poser
copy all image maps to the same folder as the obj
load the obj to Lightwave
run the mtl import script

fix transparency maps (invert)
