batista I have to ask the dumb questions too - people make silly mistakes sometimes :) as a computer consultant the first question was always "Is it plugged in and turned on?" Ok so you made this thing. good :) did you assign UV coordinates in Lightwave? if you haven't you will need to - or you can take your poser ready obj and use UVmapper (www.uvmapper.com) to map it. Read the excellent tutorials that come with the program - that will get you started. Or you can go ask the lightwave forum for help as I don't know that program :) If the object has no coordinates set - it will never accept a texture in poser. That's the only thing I can think of that would make it do as you are describing. Lyrra
