I am still getting used to using Poser 8, but one of the things that is driving me crazy is that Firefly keeps destroying my props. I used to use Poser 6 with the Poser 4 renderer and I never had this problem. I don't even always have this problem in Poser 8, but almost all of my props that I make in Wings3d get ruined by polygon smoothing. The objects are literally splitting at the seams, and it isn't just slight, it is huge, sometimes as wide as the entire object. Any screen shots I have ever seen of this problem are nothing in comparision to the distortions I am getting.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Turning off polygon smoothing is not an option for me, and the splitting continues even when I reduce the smoothing angle to as low as 20 degrees. I am almost ready to quit Poser. I have tried tricks like adding a slight displacement or unwelding/welding vertices. Nothing works and everything I have made looks terrible. If anyone can help I would be thankful.
