Hi everyone

I've got this unusual problem, when I try to conform any piece of clothing to any character, nothing happens, I mean in dialog box where you choose the figure to conform to, there is nothing just "none" and the buttons "cancel" and "ok". At first I thought i had a virus, and I checked and rechecked, and nothing, clean as a whistle.

Can you help? Or it looks like I'll have to install Poser 5 again

P.D.: this happened overnight, one day everything is cool and the next ooops!!! nothing

Thanks

This sounds like a silly question, but you are using the conforming clothing from the Figures library, not the dynamic items in the Props library, right?

I`m using conforming clothing from the figures libraries

OK. Are you checking that you've got the clothing figure selected before trying to conform? I often find that I've defaulted to selecting the camera when loading a new figure...

I've checked every detail, from the smallest to the biggest, it just doesn't work, it's like when you get to the conforming dialog, Poser doesn't recognize the figures in the scene, I'm guessing is a DLL or maybe I have too many figures and objects (not in the scene) but as part of Poser Folder (which is big). The last thing i did was a scene with V3, pants, shirt, shoes, dynamic hair and four lights, and a simple backdrop, as you see it is not a complex scene. I've got 512Mb of RAM plus 1GB of swapping, so memory is not the issue

Have you tried reinstalling an item of clothing that doesn't work?

I don't think the problem has to do with figures, or items of clothing, I tried different clothing with different figures, it doesn't work..I believe is more an application problem, I don't know, maybe some dll library got corrupted or something, I'll reinstall Poser and see what happens.

If you ever get this unusual error on your poser application (Poser 5 with no sr), the solution is quite simple. Let's go back a bit: My problem was that all of the sudden I couldn't conform anything, I checked for virus, graphics card, memory, swapping, and nothing seemed to work, so I thought maybe it was the O.S (I`ve got Windows 2000 + sr4) but then I realize something (this is so simple): Poser uses a font called asifon.fon for its dialog boxes, but I've set my applications to see only TTF fonts, and Poser as obedient as it could be took the first TTF font it found which was a dingbat font and used it on its dialog boxes. You know that dingbats fonts are made of special characters, so Poser couldn't understand how to write information using that font and the problem appeared. So I set my appplication to see any font installed in the system, and everything came back to normality.. Weird bug, I don't know if it has been solved in Poser 6 or using the latest SR for Poser 5...

Oh wow! Glad you got it sorted! I'll have to remember this one :-)
