Subject: Which Figure did I use?


beos53 ( ) posted Sun, 08 February 2004 at 2:12 AM · edited Tue, 03 December 2024 at 2:09 PM

I have searched and have not found any answer. I hope there is a good one. I created a picture a while back and saved it as a PZ3 file I was going through my CD's and found it again, Put into poser and it all came up fine. The props have names so I can find them again and use them in something else I also have 4 figures with just name Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. How can I figure out what figures these are Poser4 woman, vickey and which clothes? I hope you understood my question Thanks Beos53

The only way anyone can help you is: IF you show the picture. Do you know "HOW" many figure 1's, figure 2's, exist in our own files? I am sure that someone will recognize something.......but........if we don't know what we are looking for????????????? you won't get many replys.Show the pic.....and then, we have something to go on.

Right. "Figure 1" could be The Freak in frou-frou or the Housemouse rattling a sabre or Posette dressed as a princess. We can't tell you without a visual clue.

I think I understand what you're asking... you want to know which is which, but you already know what Vicky and Posette look like, right? I mean you know the difference, but you want to know which one is which within your scene file? Easiest way to find out is to select the body of "Figure 1", go to the Object Properties and uncheck "visible". So if Posette disappears, you know figure 1 is Posette. Then just repeat for all the figures. You can also rename them in the body section of the object properties as well, so you will know in future. But watch out, because if you are relying on cross talk, this could affect it, I think. Hope that helps :)

If you look at the pz3 in a text editor and search for figureresfile there will be a line: figureResFile :Runtime:Geometries:P4NudeWoman:P4NudeWom.obj That will tell you that it is posette I think that blmilwoman.obj is the name of the victoria geometry file.

I think the question relates more to the generic names "Figure 1", "Figure 2", etc. Poser assigns these itself, more or less based on the order figures are loaded into the scene. If I'm not mistaken, Beos53 is trying to figure out which of the figures in the scene in Figure 1, and so on. The simplest method I can think of is to simply click on the figure and see which name shows up on the active figure label (on the lower left just under the window, at least on my setup). You can then select "body" from the list right beside it, go to the Object menu item, select Properties, and change the label to something more meaningful.

Also I've been trying to get into the habit of changing the names from figure1 to the name of the character I'm using, so I can grab it again for the next scene. I know, hindsight is a great tool. Marque

Thank you for all the replys. I reread my question this morning (and it was rather vague to me, to the point I really didn't know what I meant). I did want to know what geometry file the figure used (it was really late when I posted this question and I didn't think of the words geometry file) The closest answer to what I was hunting for was from xantor, I will open my pz3 file in a text editor. I just wish there was an easier way to do this in Poser. Thank you all again

P.S. I am going to change the label from Figure 1 etc. the what the figure is called. That will help me alot in the future Thanks for that bit of info

I just found this is free stuff "SORTPZ3" It goes in your pz3 file and list all the .obj, textures props etc that are being used and it works great

Where did you find "SORTPZ3"?


mondoxjake ( ) posted Mon, 09 February 2004 at 6:00 PM

xantor: easiest way to find SortPZ3 is do a search for "ockham" in Poser freestuff...he is the creator and that is how I found it. I believe it is the first file listed under his name but is listed as something different than SORTPZ3.

I found it, thanks.
