Whatever I do, the exported .OBJ figure is all one big g group. not one group per body segment. There seems to be a bug in Poser 4 here. Best forward this thread to Larry.

Keeping the usemtl materials as materials in the exported .OBJ file is OK as far as it goes; but how can I do either of these?:- (1) Convert the materials into groups, so I can texture the materials separately in Bryce. (2) Tell Bryce to import the .OBJ file and keep the groups as groups and turn the materials into subgroups, so I can texture them separately. (In Bryce an object can be divided into hierarchies of groups and subgroups and subsubgroups etc.) - - - - - -

Otherwise, it would be useful to be able to export in Poser with a group per figure AND per material, each group being named figure_material, so that e.g. Figure 1's skin is a separate group from Figure 2's skin.
