Please have a look to the obj files below (kindly provided by Targor Avelany) to know what I mean:

Look at the OBJ files produced by 3DS Max and compare them to the ones made by Wings 3D. It's really easy to spot why the 3DS Max ones work correctly. Here is an excerpt from the 3DS Max one:

g balloon_Balloon
usemtl _balloon_MkVII_4Balloon
s 1
f 1/1/1 2/2/2 3/3/3
f 1/1/1 4/4/4 5/5/5
f 3/3/3 6/6/6 7/7/7
f 3/3/3 4/4/4 1/1/1
f 3/3/3 8/8/8 4/4/4
f 3/3/3 9/9/9 8/8/8
f 7/7/7 6/6/6 10/10/10
f 7/7/7 9/9/9 3/3/3
f 10/10/10 9/9/9 7/7/7
f 10/10/10 11/11/11 9/9/9
f 5/5/5 2/2/2 1/1/1
f 5/5/5 12/12/12 2/2/2

Look how everything is a 1:1 ratio (vertices are not optimized). This one is ready for import into a GR2 file. Check the Wings3D one and you'll see that there is no 1:1 ratio (it's very evident). It's not Granny friendly. Do you see what I'm talking about?
