http://www.xdsoft.com/explorer/ Go to the above and get the 3DExploration utility. It will let you convert many types of 3D files into .obj files which are the best for Poser since you can run them through the UVmapper and make texture maps for them as well.

A .wrl file is a VRML world file. You will need a VRML browser to view any .wrl files. Both Netscape and IE have free plugins available for browsing VRML worlds. Also, Kalypso, you are mistaken, as 3D Exploration does not support .wrl format in either import or export. This seems to be a new export option for Poser 4 users that have the patch loaded. co(V)(V)union

My version of 3D Exploration lists VRML (.wrl) as one of its import documents. It's the 1.2Beta version. Just quoting what the program says as I have never tried it. I usually use it to convert .cob, .iob, and .prj files to .obj which seeems to work ok. However, since you know more, could you tell me how I can view or convert max files? Someone mentioned getting a max license, any help would be appreciated.
