Hi all. I've made several props in Lightwave and would like to be able to import them into Poser. The main problem I run into is that Poser seems to want to do really heavy smoothing on every object, so I end up with a slightly-melted butter look to most of the stuff I import. I'm using a 3d file format exporter from Lightwave and exporting my Lightwave objects as OBJ files. Is there any way to tell Poser not to smooth objects or to control the degree of smoothing? I can't find anything about it in the manual. - Scup

Excellent question - I'd like to know also - if anybody has the answer - there are two of us interested :-)

There are several ways to deal with this. In Lightwave you can 'split' certain faces, easiest is to cut and repaste the group of polys. If you have Lightwave 6.5b you can use the unweld command. UVMapper also has a split vertices command. I think this works on the entire object, though, not just on selected surfaces. Regards- Lemurtek
