hi all, I did something in poser, a prop wich I imported as an obj. A bustier type of thingie. As a prop it suits well but when you pose your figure it doesn't stay on right. So I want to make is a conforming item... Anyone know how to do that? Thanks for any help *S* CarolineG

Because its only covering the chest, and maybe part of the abdomen try simply parenting it to the figure's chest, and select the "bends" option. (I'm assuming that is Posette not Vickie). If that fails to do it then you will have to split your model into groups, make it into a figure and do the full conforming thing!

I tried parenting it to the abdomen and selected the bends option, after posing the figure it ended up shriffled like hell hehe Will try the chest option... looking at Nerds tut at the moment, awefully scary S Thanks for the help, CarolineG

heyas; conforming isn't really that hard (not for humans). i have a lot of respect for nerd, but his way is really much more difficult than it needs to be. if i were you, i'd do this quick test: open the prop obj and assign everything to the group 'chest.' (i'd use uvmapper.) save it as yourthing-c.obj for the conformer test. now open a cr2 for a clothing item that goes on your figure -- a shirt should do. plug yourthing-c.obj into the cr2 and save a new figure. load it up and see if it conforms the way you want. splitting something this small isn't that important.... i'm really surprised that 'inherit bends of parent' didnt work for it.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying bloodsong S Why should I plugin my bustier into a shirt? Sorry if I sound totally stupid, I really appreciate your help S CarolineG

OK lets try another approach. If an existing Shirt.CR2 will correctly conform an existing Shirt.OBJ to a figure then by using a text editor like Wordpad and editing out Shirt.OBJ, replacing it with Bustier.OBJ, you will trick it into conforming your item providing that the body part names are the same.

All this talk about .objs and .cr2s. It's obvious why it keeps falling down: no straps.

There's a slightly more detailed description of "plugging in" to an existing CR2 on the Amapi forum on http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12399&Form.ShowMessage=347959 The method is not specific to Amapi-made models, just happened to be there as part of some suggestions on Amapi modeling. Good luck.
