We know all that, DG :) I think we're all pretty clear on what to do once something is in Poser.

The question was/is:

Quote - "what are these stupid units used by Poser's import options?"

And stewer gives the answer:

Quote - OBJ files don't contain any real world sizes - not meters, not inches, not anything. They just contain numbers without unit. The interpretation of those numbers is left to the imagination of the programs that read and write them and rarely they do agree.

Now you just said:

Quote - A "Poser native unit" is exactly the same as ...
... a "Wavefront OBJect unit"

Put the two statements together and we get:

A "Poser native unit" is no unit at all, with respect to import.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
