Hi @all,

i have an issue which really drives me nuts...: I am trying to import objects which i created in Cinema4D into Poser. I have two options for compatibility reasons, 3dsmax and obj lightwave. 3dsmax doesnt ex and import polygon groups (as far as i see it) so that option doesnt work. so i go with lightwave obj's. So far so good. However, most of my objects rearrange the normals, so, that when imported in poser, i see breaks on the polygons and when set with materials. the polys spin crazy and render broken. I tried options during import with "make polygon normals identical" also the "Weld identicals" or "flip normals" ... no chance.

One thing i thought could be: Cinema uses NGONS, so if i export, it triangulates the NGON to triangles. however, it doesnt make a difference if i triangulate before export or not.

Even when turning on the "Smooth polygon" option, i see very odd fractals when applying a material. (see screenshot)

Is there any tip or tutorial for imoprt and export of cinema to poser or any other dumb tick box i forgot? I am realy going mad with this!
