Hey, the first thread just points back here! ;)

I'm looking for a way to convert pict image files to RSR (since that is the best that I can save for Bitmap with the plugin SDK being using - no PNG support).  I know that the PICT file is embedded minus the first 512 '0' bytes and have references to the format from Apple, but it would be so much better if there was source code (preferably C or C++, Java would suffice if it doesn't rely on to many other Java APIs).

Now, I've managed to read RSR files to extract the image for thumbnail display, but then I'm just getting the offsets and getting the information needed.  Reading blindly is one thing.  Writing something that is a valid RSR (that Poser can read) is another altogether.

Hard, oh so hard, to do a Google search.  RSR is useless as it encompases about fifty thousand different things other than Poser RSR files.  (Mac) Resource (Fork, Data, File) yields about three thousand ways to read/write these on a Mac using Resource Manager.  Useless again.  Just try a search of "Poser RSR" and see the limited results, most to P3OExplorer (can't be used here, this is a plugin that needs to do it 'natively'!).

Thanks,
Robert

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
