I notice when I export something out of Poser as a obj file. That it splits it into two files a .obj and a .mtl. but if I export out of say C4D it comes out as a single combined file. why does poser split it ? can they be recombined? does it make a differance? etc... I just never thought about it before, it didn't seem to make a differance with what I was doing. I cant really find anything in the manual about it or online unless I'm not looking at the right places.

The .mtl only contains info of the material color of the exported mesh... Programs like Lightwave doesn't have that feature, thats why when importing a mesh it imports blank into Poser... This doesn't afect the mesh at all(try exporting something from poser, then delete it's .mtl and re-import it again, you should se a blank mesh)... Ascii

Yes, what Asciicodeplus said, like Vue and Bryce would benefit with those files. Sharen
