There''s a bunch of steps + rooms behind the facade, and a vast sky-dome overhead. We''re talking ''Ancient Egyptian'' lay-out and styling, plus hyper-tech updates...
I''m not a SW gamer or fan, but I saw this set and went, ''Ooh, Shiny !!''
My registered ($$) 3DOC exported the XPS file to OBJ/MTL. Despite much iteration, I could *NOT* find a compatible ''original'' import scale for it.
So, I tried Poser''s other OBJ import option, ''Scale to figure''. Finally, got OBJ in at ~5000 %, literally 50x figure. All the textures loaded automatically, which was a great relief. I iterated scale up to 160% as a fair stab at the proportions. Still, I reckon it is much too small, should be almost double.
Rendered in Superfly. At first, thwarted by the complexity, Poser just stopped with a blank screen. I progressively halved buckets count from my twin cards'' 1024 default to 16, at which point Superfly behaved.
Took me several false-starts to find a happy medium between under- and over-exposure lighting. Then I went off and had two well-earned mugs of strong tea while Poser rendered its ''32 pixels'' *very* slowly.
Upside, I''ve learned how to work around the ''blank render'' Superfly issue.
Downside, PoserPro 11.3''s garbage collector cannot cope with such a massive file and its ~155 detailed textures. After I exported the render image, the UI became erratic, had to be closed...
I''ve asked DA''s SW community for an estimate of statue with/out base, step or sill to lintel doorway height(s), the better to figure correct import scaling...N |

Good work setting it up.
_______________ I've found that to do well with any figure you really need to have a passion for that figure,
...and I hope you develop that passion for yours.  |

Some-where in this mega-set's back rooms, there's a chair at a console. If I find that, I can estimate scale a bit better. I reckon I'm off by a factor of 4~~5...
I'm also hoping to slice this mega-set into scenery modules. Finding a 3D editor with a UI I can grok *and* will cope with such a big file has proved non-trivial...
When I've shaken off this cold --NOT Covid !!-- I may throw the OBJ/MTL into TurboCAD and see what breaks.
