go to each shader in maya and manually assign the associated texture map

the texture gets stretched and becomes too tedious and it turns horrible especially for those figures tht have been assigned textures in poser.? ... isnt there any other way tht i get the textures to load from the mtl? they seem to load fine in other softwares

also how can i get the mt5 files to be loaded as textures in maya?

what? If Poser now comes with a plugin for Maya and it doesn't handle properly the importation of it own assets then .....

Looks like you are doing it wrong.. you shouldn't be exporting OBJ's from Poser

can we convert the items imported from poser to dynamic...like say the clothes ...when i import it from pose into maya can we then convert it to cloth kind in maya?

yes I believe if you duplicate the mesh or delete the history on the mesh that you can then convert it into a ncloth object

ok once i import the poser file into maya then i duplicate it? and it still retains the materials?
