Ok,,I have a problem. I have an .obj file with no .rsr file and everytime I try and load it up in poser4 with pro pack, nothing shows up. Is there anyway to fix this or is there a way to create an .rsr file for it???

There are two sorts of RSR:- Poser creates the RSR in the Geometries folder automatically the first time you open the item - if it isn't doing that, it must not be opening the model properly. If you have ProPack, there's no need for an RSR in the library folder; the thumbnail is a PNG file. Either way, you can generate one by saving the model back into the library palette with the same name.

I think what EnglishBob is really saying is that the lack of .rsr file might not actually be your problem. What version of Poser are you running and what is the item you are trying to load? The only time I have seen this sort of thing is when the obj was incorrectly referenced in the cr2 file or when I had forgotten to convert a pcf file to an obj. e.d.

ok,,I'm running Poser 4.03 with Pro pack and what it is are poseable clothing,,,aka some Garments by GG, 17th cent. gown and Fantisy gown and I installed everything as per the inclosed instructions but nothing happens,,,I get the parameter dials to pose the figure for all the body parts of the object but I don't get the object on my screen.

If the object isn't visible but you can select the body parts, I take that to mean that they are all present in the drop-down list below your workspace, and that you get no error messages? That in turn would imply that Poser found the OBJ file ok. Can you see the "outlines" of the clothes if you move the cursor around in your workspace? If so, you might want to check that everything is set to visible in the hierarchy window... if not, has it just come into the scene in an unusual place? I dimly remember something about invisible figures in Pro Pack... if it doesn't come back to me, maybe another member will refresh my memory. :-)

I seem to remember that this sort of behaviour can happen if you are using external geometry and the rsr in the geometry folder gets corrupted. The fix for that is to delete the rsr (the one in the geometry folder NOT the one in the library sub-folder ), Poser will build a new one next time the thing is loaded. If that does not work perhaps there is a problem with the *.obj file. Try importing it directly via "File>Import>Wavefront OBJ", If that works it's probably OK, if not get on to the supplyer.

no outlines at all,,it is completly invisable when it is loaded. even tried pulling my scene very very very far out to see if it did just land someplace else and nothing,,,I didn't even get the good ole boxed when I tryed to move it around via the x,y,z Trans dials. Checked hierarcy and everything is lit up to where I should see something,,,not sure what is up,,but is seems to be doing it with my stuff that I have from GG. maybe it is something that they do,,,I can import the obj file and it shows up fine,,but I can't move it, pose it, or change anything on it then it's like it is totally frozen when I do it that way.

Yes the object file will be frozen when you import it that way, that was just a test to see if the object file is ok. It now looks like the OBJ and CR2 are both working. I suspect a mismatrch between the object refference in the cr2, and the actual position of the object in the path. Open the cr2 (I'm assuming it's a cr2) in a text editor and check the 2 "figureResFile" lines. They should point to the place where the object file is stored (note that ":" = "" if you are using a PC). If the path in the cr2 does not match the location of the object file, either change the location of the object, or edit the 2 object refferences in the CR2 to point to the actual location of the OBJ. BACKUP THE CR2 BEFORE MAKING ANY CHAINGES.

In the end, I just had to download the 17th Century gown for myself so I could see what was wrong. :-) The readme says to put the OBJ here: C:Program FilesMetaCreationsPoser4RuntimeLibrariesCharacterGG'sGarments There are two reasons this might not work, if you really do follow these instructions to the letter. First, if your Poser 4 came from Curious Labs, the MetaCreations bit will be wrong; second, it should be librariescharacter - Poser is CaSe SeNsItIvE when it comes to folder names. What you should do (if you haven't already) is create a folder within your existing Poser4Runtimelibrariescharacter folder, and call it GG'sGarments. Then put your OBJ in there. This is free stuff, so I shouldn't be moaning about OBJs in the libraries folder and what happens if you use Poser 4.03 without ProPack, nor Zip files with no path information in them, nor readme files in Micro$oft Word format, nor misleading information in said readme file... slap Sorry, I feel better now. :-|

Thank you both every much I will work with this info and see what I can get going...oh and mine is a metacreations verson of poser 4 LOL with the updates and all of that...will try both of these solutions and see what happens,,ty for your help.
