(as if you couldn't tell my mistake on the first post LOL! ) Anyhow, I'm relatively new to Renderosity and still learning Poser. I do have a question, it's probably very simple and once again I'll feel like an idiot. But I d/l BBay's Evolution Eve so I could try working with her and other models made around her. I also d/l Mover to make her work. Well I must be doing something wrong because I use P4 nude wmn as seed and encode. It tells me it works but I still can't use the model. Anyone got a minute to explain this? TIA

heyas; load the p4nudewom.obj (or whatever it is) as the seed file. load the whateveritis.pcf encoded file. make sure you select DECODE, not encode! than press the 'decode' button. :)

I tried that originally... same results, it says file converted, but I still can't use it..... I'll try again...

Hi Lady Do you have put the encoded obj-file in the right folder? Harie

I don't know the first thing about Eve (is she free or do you have to pay for her btw?) but I just wanted to give my fingers some excercise and say 'welcome' ;D

IIRC, Eve 1.0 was free, but the current version is not.

just wanted to say welcome silverladymage! :)

hmmm... maybe I put her in the wrong folder? I put her in characters/new figures it didn't tell me where to put her... Thank you all for the welcome. I've made 2 poser figures but you are all so good that I'm too embarassed to show them :)

I believe the generated obj file has to go into the same geometry folder as the p4nudewom.obj. Then it should work. WELCOME!

It's me again. The total path if you installed everything in the default directory is: C:Program FilesMetaCreationsPoser 4RuntimeGeometriesP4NudeWoman******.obj I have EveV3.obj and P4Evolution.obj and P4NWEveV3.obj there to name a few, so it depends on the Eve version I guess. But that is where the generated obj file should go. Hope that helps.

So if i move the encoded obj to that folder it should work? Thank you all so much! You've been very helpful & not the slightest bit patronizing to a newbie user. I appreciate that.

Last time I promise. The cr2 and rsr files can go into any character folder. Example: C:Program FilesMetaCreationsPoser 4RuntimeLibrariescharacterRorschachNew Eve V3.rsr

I lied. The old DOS path command was great to tell programs where to look for files, but can you imagine what type of path command would be needed for one Poser character. It is amazing how complicated they have made it. If the same texture is used 10 times on a character, and you don't put the texture where it is expected, Poser will ask you 10 times where it is. You would think after you told it once, it could figure it out from there.

So it's the pcf (or is that pvf LOL) file and the obj that go in with the p4 nude woman? See i put them all in t the same folder. I noticed that about the textures while using Sharkey's great Solaria Character

Laffin at myself because I'nm sure this isn't as complicated for anyone else but me. Suddenly I'll get it and that lightbulb will go off. Then I just wanna smack myself BG

I think the pcf file can be deleted once it is decoded by Mover. It is just a way of sharing a character without passing the original geometry in a usable form. My personal opinion is that Mover is one of the BIGGEST pains we have to deal with in this community. I can see the need if someone is sharing a non-standard Poser geaometry, but to use it on P4NudeWom.obj makes no sense at all. EVERYONE that has Poser, either legally or bootlegged, should have this file. It is a core file that so much else is built on. But there is a need to protect intellectual property like Vicky or Mike which are pay characters. That is when Mover makes sense. That is just my opinion, and I may be wrong. Maybe there is more to it then I understand.

Hi rwilliams, I've only just seen this thread as I've been off doing other things for a few months. You might regard Mover as the BIGGEST pain you have to deal with, but it's protecting your arse (ass in USA). If you distribute a figure on this or any other site that has been derived from Dork or Posette it can be used by people who don't have Poser at all. For instance if you have 3D Exploration, or Max, or Rhino, or a host of other programs you would have direct access to the mesh which is definitely copyrighted by DAZ. That's what DAZ are worried about. I'm always open to considering ways of making Mover easier to use, but so far nobody has actually e-mailed me and asked me to do it. And at least it's free. If I'd had 50c for each copy that has been downloaded I could have had one hell of a holiday. But you are right that you can delete the pcf file once you have decoded it. Cheers, Maz
