The sapphire should be a separate material from the rest of the mask, as defined by the usemtl lines in the .OBJ file.

Oki i'm new to the stuff of making things for Poser. I use LW 6.5 and have no idof what your talking about :) So is there any tutorial anyone could point me to that could help?

Hello :) Well, I'm not an expert in LW but I think you can try this (I gave it a try in LW6.5 and it worked). In LW select all the poly that make your mask and assign them a surface (detail -> surface) and name it as you want (maybe mask ;) ) then select the poly that make the saphire and repeat the operation giving another name to the surface. After that, just export your creation as an objet and when you'll import it in poser you'll have two different materials to which you'll be able to affect different colors an transparencies. Hope it'll also work for and if I wasn't clear enough don't hesitate to ask (my English is quiet weak, I'm French) :) J-L
