By Jove I think you've got it! Well done.

Don't pull your hair out! Behold, there is a path from PPP to Lightwave. Here is an example (forgive the nudity; needs QuickTime6) http://homepage.mac.com/dunedin1/iMovieTheater2.html You are expecting too much of the Poser-LW plugin. It can't handle the V3 mesh. You can help it, by doing some of the things it tries to do behind the scenes. In PPP, export your figure (and any conforming hair and clothes) as separate OBJs. Close Poser and open the LW Modeler. Import your OBJs, save each as an LWO, and close Modeler (you can apply UVs textures later). Take the LWOs you have made, place them in the appropriate LW content folder, and then put copies in the same folder as your Poser PZ3. When you load the Poser scene in LW, the plug-in will see that an LWO is already present and will prompt you to load it. The plug-in does not have to struggle with creating a new LWO, and should load the scene without errors. This method has worked for me countless times, albeit on a Mac, but the principle also applies to PCs.

I did vote for you! Good to see the licence fee is going to something worthwhile... good luck.

Weegie alert!!

What about those udders? Hey George, we found those weapons of mass destruction!

The answer must be QuickTime Pro, available from www.apple.com (cost is around $30) for both Macs and Wintel machines. QuickTime Pro can import AVI (or just about anything else for that matter) and will export quite happily and without fuss to the mobile phone .3gp format. No problem!

Thanks for the great stuff. Now I will be up half the night trying to get digital water to flow from the virtual fountain!

Thank you! Your generosity is an example to all.

Hi, I don't want to sound like a tosser but maybe you folks should switch to Macs. I have 700MB RAM allocated to Poser and NEVER have memory problems. Of course, power doesn't make up for lack of talent...
