Thanks, Shawn. I have TS7 and no, it doesn't have a plug for OBJ files. I downloaded the plug you linked to for version 5 & 6 which I'm pretty sure will work with 7.

I think Compose might be a bit outdated for the release of Metaseq that I have, the program is getting confused reading cob files from it. 

Am also trying Accu-Trans which I don't know how to stop from automatically applying a texture to my model and seems to leave 'accurate transfer' all up to me. So far Accu-Trans OBJ's crash Sculptris.

If all else fails, I have downloaded DogA which I know Metaseq was specially coordinated to export too. So if DogA exports Obj files that should solve the problem.

Going around the net all these converters which were once freeware have been pulled from their hosting sites because they have all evolved into shareware with new names.
