I exported the kitchen, the moden house and the golf course (with the leaves made visible and meshed checked in the modeling room) no worries as an obj from C5pro, also various props such as cars, barbeque, furniture etc. haven't tried big scenes since with later versions C6 & 7, as the models are vey big polygon wise, small models, simple scenes OK but the textures are another story, with my own models I usually have to make new texture maps for use in DS surfaces as nothing else can be easilly exported other than colour, I render a top view of a plane with the bump, diffuse etc in Carrara and use that.
That said I prefer working in Carrara anyway. Animations from DS export well with PFE,
Mostly use my created props otherwise in iClone using 3Dxchange where multi character animation is easier but they have to be fairly low poly.
A strange phenomenom I have in exporting obj's from one app to the next is the shuffling of texture maps, find this with Poser too, often in the end easier to export untextured modelsand just redo it.
