Hi Martin -

I just made a few tests with Vue 8 Complete (your "Old Forge" model), and the .obj export does deliver some awkward results (generating a ton of small bitmap "pathces" to simulate the Vue materials).
The .3ds export isn't much better.
The .LWO export produces a single UV mapped texture (but takes quite some time for Vue to calculate). It is possible to then export this object to .OBJ with the single map, but I think it takes a lot of trial-and-error to get an acceptable result.
Also, you might consider the option of allowing export of your freestuff models (some of them allows it, others don't) then the users - if they have Vue - can go through the conversion ordeal themselves :)

Personally I really appreciate your work, the models are wonderful. Haven't used all of them yet "for real", but they are all so great.
Thanks!
