    Regarding texturing your imported model - does it have UVs? I.e. is in unwrapped? That's required for textures to work.

    Extracted models are always in T-pose right now. A pose-option could be added. We just haven't had the time. Parts are unfortunately not included either. We're aware of that.

    And regarding quality - the models are actually the same quality, but due to how the export works and due to UV islands, things are cut in a way that will cause ugly looking seams.

    Here's what you need to do (in Blender):

    Steps involved.
    1. Ctrl + E > Clear sharp (in Edit Mode).
    2. Alt + J (Tris to Quads).
    3. W > Remove doubles.
    4. Ctrl + 2 (in Object Mode) to add a subsurf modifier.
  • Thanks So Much for the help ive been able to add Uvs to my models and now all the textures are sticking perfectly ill work on cleaning up the model in blender as you showed im looking forward to the future possibilty of posing the export files as it will make some awesome models for 3d printing 

    Thanks again for your help
