It's nice, but all of the morphs >>(except the JAnim morph) are gone when I do it.

I think it has to be that way because we're not supposed to be distributing other people's morphs without permission, especially the commercial morphs in Victoria's body. You can use Morph Manager to copy all the morphs over.

Justfit, thanks for the great freebie! I followed your directions step by step and ran into a problem regarding the eyes.

Each of AnimeDoll's eyes are made up of two parts. One part is the Dummy Eye which normally isn't visible. The second part is actually a separate eye prop which is parented to the Dummy Eye. This visible eye part contains the iris, the pupil (etc) and it's what the user sees normally.

When you export the visible eye parts without world transformation, they re-center themselves inside AnimeDoll's head and they merge with the head mesh. I.e. The visible eye parts are no longer selectable.

To fix the problem, I did the following:

  1. I exported Victoria's body as an .obj file as per your directions.
  2. Then, I exported AnimeDoll's head as an .obj file but not the eyes. I.e. AnimeEye1L, AnimeEye1R
  3. I assembled the figure in Poser as per your directions and saved it back to the character library.
  4. I loaded up the original Anime Doll character, and saved the eyes as Props to the props library.
  5. Then I loaded up the new VAnimeDoll character that I had saved to the library in Step 3 and added the Anime Doll eyes prop.
  6. Finally I saved VAnimeDoll character that includes the eyes prop back to the character library.

Now when I load up the VAnimeDoll character, the eyes load up properly as well.

Justfit, if you'd like, I can re-assemble a new distribution archive for you including an RTEncoded/Mover-encoded VAnimeDoll.obj file that uses the Daz Victoria mesh as the seed file. That oughta make it easier for people to install since that'd eliminate the whole export/import assembly sequence. Users will only have to copy the .cr2 and .obj files into their appropriate directories to install VAnimeDoll figure.
