Most 3D programs that I know of (well actually, Max and RDS5) will import Poser obj files OK but at a very tiny scale. This is one of the oddities of Poser because it uses a much smaller scale than other programs. One solution to this is to use my Objaction Scaler program (available from Renderosity Free Stuf or my site at www.sandylodge.demon.co.uk). This will allow you to scale up the obj file when going from Poser and scale it down again when going back to Poser. If you are working in metric units in Max (for example)then you need to scale up by a factor of 100, but if you are using imperial units then you need to scale up by a factor of 2540 if my memory serves me correctly. If you are working in furlongs, chains, ells, Angstroms, leagues, cubits or fortnights then you'll have to work out your own conversion factor. Maz
