ok, check it..... i really like the way rhino and poser work together using the .3ds import/export. the pieces fit exactly in poser as they do in rhino, all good and well........... your concern is using uvmapper, which only handles .obj files.......... but i also use lithunwrap, which has a host of import/export 4mats, .3ds being 1 of them. so am i good 2 go?
