Did a quick search and didn't find what I was looking for, but if somebody knows of a thread, feel free to link me instead of explaining it again. :)

Actually now that I think of it, I've got two questions.

First, if I have .pz3 files for two different images, is there a way to import one into the other to sort of merge them?  I've got files for two different characters I've rendered in separate files and want to do an image with both characters in the same image/file.  Is there an easy way to accomplish this, or do I need to start with one and re-create the other within that file? (hope that made sense)

Second.  hongyu's Classic Dressy http://www.daz3d.com/shop.php?op=itemdetails&item=4414 on DAZ has this ribbon thing on the jacket.  How do I turn that off while leaving the rest of the object visible?  I've heard it can be done, but haven't managed to figure out how to do it on my own.

Thanks :)

Load your first .pz3 file into Poser.
Then from the menu bar click File:Import:PoserDocument/Prop
and load in your second .pz3

Ah...yeah, I'd tried that before posting cause I thought that would do it, but I think I used two files that had the same figure names in it and it didn't work.  Just tried again with ones I knew had different names on the figures and it worked. :)  Thanks. blush

Still could use an answer on question number two though if anybody knows. :)

Interesting. Because I just now loaded a character from a .pz3 and it was named figure 1,
then imported in the very same .pz3, and it renamed it as figure 2.  Now one was
superimposed above the other and the only way to see figure 2 was to move it away
from figure 1.  But both of them were there.

hi john!

as for that ribbon thing...

if the ribbon has it´s own material turn on transparency.

if not, then select it with the grouping tool and assign a new material to it - trans on.

if that is too annoying you can try to delete the ribbon with uv-mapper. with a bit of luck the ribbon has been mapped seperately - select it, delete it. safe the obj under a different name. open the cr2 with your text-editor and change the obj name (2 times!). save the cr2 under a different name.

if that is too annoying too you can create a transparency map for the ribbon with your image-editor.

hope this helps

Yes, it should work even if the figures have the same names, at least it does in P4.
