Here's an example, Sharen: Say you have a Poser figure. You can export half of the body as .obj, by selecting the body parts in the hierarchy window which comes up in Poser. Then, separately export the other half of the body. Then open Vue, make sure "resize and center..." is UNchecked, first, and import the first half. Then, without moving anything, import the second half. The body parts will fit together perfeclty once it's all imported, and that's not limited only to body parts, either. Like, say a Poser character is holding something...anything and everything will import into Vue in it's identical relative position as it had when it was exported from Poser. But,you cannot mix the 3DS format with the .obj format. For that matter, i don't think you can do it with the 3DS frormat at all.... Incidentally, you can do the same thing with the PZ3 import, only instead of having an export dialogue, any Poser character parts which are hidden, will not import into Vue. Not just transparent, but, literally, hidden, in the hierarchy. I've found that one need not limit oneself to what the Vue/Poser combo tries to force on us...there's a way around everything. :)
