Hi. I've been working on this new castle for the Poser freebies section. It has a working portcullis and doors, but I think I may have overdone it. I now have a castle that exports from Cinema as an obj file of approx 9.3mb but just won't import into either Bryce, Vue, or Poser 4. It will import into Poser 5, but has to be scaled to 10,000 to fit other figures. For example, the main entrance door is supposed to be 12 feet high for mounted knights.

Anyway, Poser 5 groans under the enormous strain of this models' size, so I just don't know what to do with it. I can say that Cinema handles it like a breeze, and it renders with all the render light options very quickly, with no RAM problems.

Would it be of any use just posting the castle as an object file, and hoping that a better machine than my 1.7 - 500mb computer can handle it?...or should I forget it and work on something else?

I attach two pictures, one of the castle, and one of the very detailed courtyard.
