I've created my model in RDS 5.5 When I save the model as an obj file I set the options box to export texture maps. When I import the obj file into Poser 4.0.2 it also brings the texture with it, but when I render the image, no texture shows. I do have "use textures" checked in render options. The model will not show any other texture either. I wonder if it is possible to go direct from RDS to Poser without using UV Mapper (a most excellent program, like you didn't know that!) Thanks!!! 8)

RDS eliminates materials (usemtl ___) You can change it to g before you open the model and convert it back after, either in a TE or with UVM. But straight out of RDS and into Poser, you get one texture = preview. You want a nightmare? use the bottom option on open. RDS converts the usemtl to g for you, a different one for each instance, so a two or more materials alternate, each instance is a different group. It does keep the mapping, but if you mess arround with naming groups very much, it might reverse normals on some of them - very difficult to repair.

Here is the model opened in a text editor but I am not sure what to change? #Created using Ray Dream Designer(R) 5 mtllib stone2.MTL v -7.01206731 -14.99985694 -11.83717727 v -7.01206731 -14.99985694 12.56016921 v -7.06114435 -14.99985694 12.56016921 v -7.06114435 -14.99985694 -11.83717727 v -7.06114435 10.00846290 12.56016921 v -7.06114435 10.00846290 -11.83717727 v -7.01206731 10.00846290 12.56016921 v -7.01206731 10.00846290 -11.83717727 vn 0 -5.00166416 0 vn -0.00981545 0 0 vn 0 5.00166416 0 vn 0.00981545 0 0 vn 0 0 4.87946939 vn 0 0 -4.87946939 g Cube usemtl Cube f 1//1 2//1 3//1 f 3//1 4//1 1//1 f 4//2 3//2 5//2 f 5//2 6//2 4//2 f 6//3 5//3 7//3 f 7//3 8//3 6//3 f 8//4 7//4 2//4 f 2//4 1//4 8//4 f 3//5 2//5 7//5 f 7//5 5//5 3//5 f 1//6 4//6 6//6 f 6//6 8//6 1//6

There is no vt section? Poser will work fine with no vn section, but I don't know about the vt (I keep forgetting what data the vt section contains.) You have a material = cube So if you open the materials window and apply the stone texture, it should show up, unless vt is needed. Poser provides, but does not use mtlib files as I understand it.

heyas; go through uvmapper between rds and poser, to assign materials. i think. i only have 5.02, not 5.5.

RDS 5.5 is no different in this. You still need to go through UVM.
