Maya is still a problem. I've asked for a plug-in, too. You can export .obj files from Poser. If the .mtl file is in the same folder as the .obj it is supposed to be translatable to Maya. At Siggraph a couple of years ago, Vicki was shown in Maya... so it is possible. I tried taking a couple of samples through 3DExploration (license was about $100) and converting to .xsi format, which I think is something Maya can read. PolyTrans is a better tool, but i didn't have the money for it. They have experience with Maya (we exchanged emails) and ought to know what formats will convert cleanly. Good luck! If you do discover a working method, please let me know! Carolly
