Exist a system for converted one geometry obz at obj? Thanks

Yup, it's called Poser.

Hi Estruch,

Just go to:

1. [menu] "Edit" >>> "General Preferences..."

2. Click the "Miscellaneous" tab and ...

Under "Save Files" ...

1. UNcheck "Use file compression"

Now, when you export an object, it will be saved as .obj and not .obz.

Thanks

While we're on the subject - is there anything like a utility or python script that can go through a runtime folder and convert all obz files into obj files without me having to do it all manually. Thanks

Hmmmm, .... good question

Anyone? ... Anyone? ... Anyone? ... Bueller? ... Anyone? ...- - - - - -

WinZip ??? ... PKZip ??? ;=]

"convert all obz files into obj files without me having to do it all manually." poser 6 can do that with a python. its in the utility folder called uncompressPoserFile.py

First of all... there is a Python script that comes with Poser to compress or uncompress all files in a library; they are called "compress files" and "uncompress files"... Second, it's conmpressed using zlib. So you can open a compressed file with Winzip. It's very long, because you must do it for each files. Finally, if you need... i'm developing an application to manage the files in runtimes... I could add the features.

The script is supplied with P6. UncompressFiles.py has an option to uncompress the .obz files. Just run the script and select the folder that contains the .obz files you wish to uncompress. It's GZip by the way.

Oops, crosspost. Sorry.

You have to edit that script and set the unCompressOBJs flag to 1, first.

The "uncompressPoserFiles.py" Python script (in Runtimes:Python:PoserScripts:Utility) can be run in Poser 6 and it will decompress everything, including OBZ to OBJ.

All Great Minds Think Alike! Crossposted as well...

svdl: GZip uses zlib! :)

Ask and ye shall receive. ;=] Thanks all. cheers, dr geep ;=]

"GZIP uses zlib" Absolutely right. Stupid me, just forgot it.

Thanks for all the info everyone. I'm not too comfortable with Poser so all basic & obvious tips are welcome. This one is going to solve a lot of problems between Carrara Studio and Poser 6.

Carrara and Transposer is not compatible with Poser 6?

Sort of - you have to switch off all file compression and the external binary morph target option to use any Poser content. BUT Transposer doesn't like being pointed at Poser6.exe, it still wants Poser5.exe to read dynamic cloth and hair I upgraded from Poser 5 to 6, I've got both so I'm okay, but it's hardly the ideal solution.

If you have UltimateZip, you can select several OBZ files at once and choose "extract to here", and it will spit out OBJ files in the same directory. This works fine in my case because I have always had "save compressed files" disabled, so the only ones I have are those that were included with Poser 6.
