Re: .lwo import

[Rainer Schmidt <itrisk(at)gmx.net>]

Mesh is not a problem. I am loosing the texture reference in the .mtl 
file. Not a procedural texture, I know that they can't be transported, 
but the reference to external .jpg's etc should be kept. Poser does an 
incredibly good job with that. Unfortunately Poser can only read old 
.lwo files V5 and earlier.... dang....
