Finally decided to give 3d modelling a try, so I built a relatively simple model in Wings 2.1.6-the gradstands for a small baseball stadium, based on the one in my city. It wasn't hard to actually build, but 90% of the work was in the planning.

When I finished it, I exported it as a Lightwave object and brought it into Poser Pro 2014. Everything seemed to work well except for the rails along the side of the steps, which came out like this

So, I tried exporting it as a 3ds file. With that, the rails are fine, but it won't let me add materials that are based on an image map (which I need for a couple of things). It tells me the material is there, but it just leaves it colored without the actual image.

I'm not sure if I've screwed up the export/import process, if there's some flaw in my model that I'm not aware of, or if it's just something that I have to try and work around.

Any help or suggestions greatly apprciated.
