Virtually impossible, definitely unusable.  Anything saved from Poser to 
.obj will import very badly into Wings.  Wings does its best to guess at 
  which edges are adjacent and it does remarkable well, but the results 
are really not usable.

So, for instance, if you had some idea, like I did, of making general 
figure "cages" in Wings, importing into Poser for posing, then back into 
Wings for further refinement, it is not really practical.

I have gotten passably good at importing back and forth between Wings 
and Uvmapper while keeping the uv's intact though.  This lests me do uv 
manipulations in Uvmapper at the cage level then applying them to the 
smoothed result.

THere is Wings to learn, which has some sense of containment 
actually,...like Silo but unlike Maya.  Then there is MODELING to learn, 
which feels like infinity.

Thanks for saying so.  Writing tutorials (or most course materials for 
that matter) always has this "it's obvious and after the fact" sense to 
it.  You kind of do it on blind faith that it might be useful to 
somebody else, somehow.

Shoes, of course, are a well known sexual fetish, and are one for me. I 
believe they act as a fetish because they are objects, and carry a 
bodily reference together with a gender symbolism. But one of the 
reasons I loved painting them, aside from the sexual component, was that 
they combined organic form with characteristics of an object.  This 
combination is also closely paralleled in CG imagery,...just a thought.
