momodot; "Anton once indicated he could do texture conversions in Poser with some sort of sliced geometry or something but then he never revealed his method. Wish he had."
Actually he did describe it briefly in one of the marathon mega-threads accompanying the free release of ApolloMAX - it was the simple remap-one-template-onto-another-template method that I described in my first post in this thread.  I believe it was also implied that there would be at least one such template (M3-to-Apollo?) in the 4th distribution pak for AMax that was never released.
