Quote - Poser itself does not seem to recognise the parts within an obj but the phi file does. There was documentation in Poser tutorials I think explaining the phi file method of figure making. Its very good for machinery.  Material groups are recognised of course.

there is a utility called phibuilder that helps get the file syntax right.

It does recognize it, but that is not immediately obvious from the user's point of view. If you click on the grouping tool on the just-imported obj file while in the setup or clothing room, you'll see a list with all the mesh groups. The thing is, until poser KNOWS what to do with them, it just hides them from the user.

As to the phi file method for rigging things, I agree, it is an excellent rig tool when machinery is involved.

still hooked to real life and enjoying the siesta!
