Quote - but the export issue is more general, it seems. the image i posted above is from a simple OBJ export rendered in Octane. there's definitely a smoothing (or sub-dividing) problem going on.

It would make sense for the obj not to be subdivided. Subdivision isn't native to Poser so I think it would have to be added in order to export subdivided meshes. But if SM can open up the export routines to the subdividing routines of the plugin then it may work. I'm thinking the first step of the importer is to get kinks ironed out of how it works within the main application (where most of the time through setup and work is done), then work on how it's sent out to other applications like through Poserfusion.
