Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Jan 15 2:13 am)



Subject: I cannot GROUP my objects: hair, body & clothes - please help me ;-)

Hello!

When I have a standard figure and apply hair and clothes, I would like to change the pose  - so it should be possible to GROUP them into ONE, or not?

I tried with the group editor, but I can't handle it, I also tried to find a topic about "grouping objects"...

Thanks in advance!

That's what conforming does (and parenting, when it comes to hair) - but you need to be sure that you change the pose of the figure, and not of one of the clothing items.

Dynamic clothing will need to be re-simulated, though - it won't automatically follow pose changes.

Speechless? I never had that effect before. :-)

Hi, I tried but it doesn't work.

When I select the "dress" and go to -conform to- I can't find the figure, only the hair... :-(

But I also think that you misunderstood me, I don't simply want to "adjust" the things - I want to FIX them - so when I move the head, the hair move too.

Okay, so you have a figure and you have some clothes and hair.
You can always select anything from the dop-down menu (top left of your stage viewport).

If the clothes are conforming, select the clothing item, then conform.
For the hair it might make more sense to smart parent it to the head. Select the hair, go to the Properties panel and press Set Parent, then select the figure head from the drop down menu.

Now everything should be set correctly, just pose the figure and you are good to go. 😉

DarkEdge/EnglishBob: Why parent the hair and no conform it? it is better?
I've have had no problem with conforming hair to my figures

@ ajmarti: Some hair content are actually props which are smart-propped to 'fit' particular characters.  In these cases, you will need to parent the hair piece to the model's head.  Nowadays, hair will either be in its own category or as CR2 files under the Libray Figure section.

@mariajudyta:  What you are describing in your post is a dynamic dress which must be applied to your model in the Cloth Room.  The clothing has no rigging to properly conform it.  Read this tutorial to gain further insight about how to work with dynamic clothing:

Practically, you would like to work with conforming content which is easier to apply and will move with your model when you change the pose.

Cool thanks Hborre!

Oh, btw, as an afternote, it just occurred to me that conforming hair pieces not created for particular models need to be positioned and parented to the head.  Very few vendors provide hair fits to new models, the only vendor I am aware that updates hair fits is 3Dream.
