Halbert posted a rebuild of Pose2POV. See .binaries.utilities.
It works provided you run the .obj file thru UV mapper and export as one mesh.
So for example you can export from Poser with props and accessories and after
combining them with UV mapper you can use Pose2POV to get a single mesh but
with discrete parts correctly labelled. Its kinda complex, but there is a thread
on .binaries.utilities discussing this.
It does work.

Thanks for your help!

Yes. Zygote (Poser's original creaters - its changed hands and Curious Labs have
it now) have a dragon model for sale. Its damn expensive - I don't like their
policy of charging top dollar for each model or add on such as new hair styles.
I've seen some images done with it - they are nice. Free poses are available for
it from some Poser sites linked from www.renderosity.com
Like almost everything else, the dragon model *is* available on the web at at
least one warez site; heck, even the latest release of Maya is out there. And
no, I don't have eitherof them. I just know they are there.
If you want the dragon either buy it from Zygote or if you can't afford it and
your conscience will stand it, do some research.

<sigh> This world is expensive. $79.95? And if you want it with
texture/bump-map you pay an extra $20? No thanks!
Perhaps I will try one day to model my own. :)

Yes. Its a damn rip-off IMHO. Noone is going to pay that for so specialised a
model unless they are either wealthy or plan to make a *lot* of images with
dragons in them - perhaps some Anne McCaffrey fan. No wonder virtually every
Zygote model has been made readily available for free download by those who
object to this pricing.
I do understand that a lot of effort goes into making these models, but I see so
many free or very cheap items/software being made by devotees, that I object to
seeing this kind of pricing by Zygote.

A Rune S. Johansen modelled a very nice dragon entirely in pov, and I've
been studying it and making a few modifications to it. I can't remember his
site but I'm going to send it back to him when I'm done.
I know thats not exactly what you were looking for.

Thanks Kane and Ken!
I knew that one. But, even if I doubt that I can really do it better, it
does not convince me. Uh, when speaking of dragons it is quite difficult to
say "it does not look real to me", is it :-). But perhaps your modifications
cured that? I sure would be glad to see them.

Marc,
I agree that 3DWin is probably the best (most professional) solution to Poser-to
-POV conversions. It has a nice windows interface with check boxes etc. It appears
to import smoothly with the individual parts labelled and it supports Moray well.
The only thing is that in order to import the UV data and material maps you need the
registered version. Without these features it becomes much less attractive. 35
euros for registration is a fair price, but its possible to get the same results
with freeware like Pose2POv and ObjuvPOV with a lot less convenience. Not having 35
euros to spare, I haven't tested the material import features, but the
non-registered version does what it does very nicely.
