im under the free stuff on here, and i see something i like. i d/l it, open it with winRAR and unzip everything. When i go into poser, the things never work. i click on something, and it asks for a missing file. anyone know whats wrong?

Yes, either the obj it's looking for is in the wrong place or you don't have it. What is it looking for? Try it again and write down the filename and where it's looking. If you have it and it's not in the right place you will know exactly where to put it. If you don't have it you will either have to buy it or download it (if it's a free item), elsewhere. Hope this helps, Marque

it could be several things wrong....sometimes you have to unzip using the paths so that they install in the correct place...sometimes the author doesn't do that and you have to figure out where the different file types go and sometimes the author forgets to add some files or names them wrong....sometimes it asks for .bum files that you have to create from jpg files because the author didn't include it because it is just too large......could you be more specific about what it's looking for..

When I was new and this happened to me I wrote down exactly what it asked for and folks in here were able to help. Dizzie is right, can't help unless we know what it's looking for. Marque

also, check for a 'readme' file, which usually explains where things go, included with most zips, in my experience (they'll go on forever about where things go, and then forget to put their name or URL in, but that's another beef..;)

I usually unzip (or un-RAR) to a folder on my desktop, rather than directly into Poser, so I can see how the author has set up their file structure. Some, I know from experience will have done it right, so I can unzip directly into my Poser directory - but others don't. At least, with the desktop method, you get to see where the files end up being located, and then it's an easy matter to drag them across to where they should be. Works for me, anyway (although I must admit to having a shedload of orphan files in various places within Poser that I haven't had time to sort out - back from the days befoe I learned to look before I installed 'em!)

yeah... when it asks for a .obj i just go under my geometries folder and try to find them... i know it takes me awhile, but it gets done. Thanks for all of the advice
