Here's a question for you all... I import a P4 figure into Lightwave and it's in scale with other LW objects. If I do the opposite (import a LW object which I've converted to OBJ into P4) and specify size as 100% it's actually smaller that it should be. Any idea as to what percentage size I should use to ensure the scale remains the same? Thanks. Salamander

Freakachu posted some Poser "rulers" you can use to help set proportions(the following should be all one line): http://www.renderosity.com/funstuff.ez?Form.SortOrder=UserName&Start=13&Sectionid=6 What I do uncheck all the centering and size percentage things whjen importing OBJ into Poser, so it will just bring it in as is, and size things appropriately in Lightwave beforehand. If you try and use the percentage, it gets tricky to size right. Poser uses a strange tiny size, like 1/20th, so it's best to say, import a poser .obj directly from the Poser gemotries folder, and size according to that (or use Freakachu's rulers) and then not let Poser resize it when importing.

Thanks for the solution! Salamander

heya; that % is % of poser figure size. so if you put 100%, it will size your object to... i guess the p2 casual male's height. 50% is half a 'normal' figure size. so don't use the %, just turn everything off in that dialogue. :)

Yes, I realised that there's an option to turn the resizing off...hadn't noticed that.
