In fact the latest official Xfrog version I worked with had some really
annoying issues with the OBJ export (texture hierarchies were ignored in
some cases, MTL files were incomplete etc.) so that 3DS export was a better
and more consistent option. I know that the OBJ export was being rewritten
from scratch but I don't know what build is now up for download.
With a fully functional OBJ export from Xfrog, Poseray is indeed a good
alternative to 3DWin. The preview feature and the texture search feature are
extremely handy for complex models with many image maps.
