Does the format matter? It's still the same mesh; it'll eat up the same amount of memory once loaded, right? dwmdesigner, can you post a pic of this sword? I'd like to see the mesh before you start trimming it down. For the record, the largest .obj I've ever seen in Poser is Questor's Terminator character, which has a lot of moving machined parts, and it's only 15MB.
