It sounds like the body parts are separate objects in Max. (IS this Max..or an older 3DS you're using?) I find UV Mapper (or Map Magic) to be very usefull for mapping certain objects and this appears to be one of those cases. You really have to do some trickery or just use Map Magic or UV Mapper to get the mapping simular to Poser figures. I find this proceerure pretty painless other than having to translate and go out to another program. Foxhollow
