The penny drops! Poser doesn't like sharp edges.

You mention splitting the edges as an alternative to using a bevel. I'm not sure of the terminology, but are you talking about material groups here? I haven't really got my head round those yet. I use Blender for the modelling and UV mapping, although I still load the .obj file into UV Mapper (free version) just to export the texture template!? Go figure!

I'd already come across the long, thin triangles problem (there's a few still in this model where the square plinth changes to the rounded, stepped affair), and I guess that was part of the reason for this particular post.
I was also vaguely aware of an N-gons issue - I've only used quads and triangles in my practice models because I vaguely recalled some warning about faces with 5+ sides.
The concave N-gon issue - that applies to concave quads as well, doesn't it?

Thanks for the offer - I'd be more than happy for you to give the model a once-over. What's the best way? Send a file to the contact address on your website. Which file? I think Blender can export most formats, or would just the .obj be enough?

It's been a long time since that first post , but I have been making slow but steady progress! Hopefully, one day I'll get back to the clothing - I just realised I had far, far too much to learn!
