I tried adding the geometry line to the cr2 and setting it to use just the poser female. It worked and the figure displayed right but... What poser does is use the entire obj including the thighs and abdomen parts as the obj for the panties. The figure did display only the pantie part since the obj specifies show flags to turn on or off the rendering of the other obj sections (the "s 1" lines and the "s off" lines in the obj). Now is this good? Is this bad? Since the figure displays fine its probably ok to do this. Maybe the extra geometry wastes some space, I don't know. The only other issue is material naming. Since both the bra and panties use "cloth" as thier material name, I'd have to change at least one of the obj files to use a different name. This does seem like a cool technique to explore. Probably the best solution would be to make a new bra and panties obj files with the extrenuous parts removed then specify those in the cr2 without merging them with the obj. The other question is how to specify a sub geometry in an obj file. For example, I'm attaching the catsuit to the poser 4 female. How do I tell the cr2 that I want the abdomen section from the catsuit obj? I tried monkey-ing with the paramters (BTW you don't apparently need the two 0s in front of the line) with no success. I'll write Metacreations and maybe get an answer.
