I was wondering basically how you seperate a wavefront model in poser to allow you to animate it. I can not find it in the manual. Example: I have a plane that is in obj format with seperate objects in 1 file: prop body,etc. ?Do I have to save each part seperately into own obj format? ?Does paint 3d do this some how? Any advice is appreciated.

This is not a easy task. Fortunately there are some good tutorials. Go to the Link and try for example 'Creating New Poser Figures' or 'Custom Figure Creation'.

Also PhilC has a CD with some really good tutorials.

If its a plane then your easiest way is to:-

  • Write a hierarchy file (manual page 308) to basically list out the groups.
  • Bring into Poser with File/convert Hier file
  • select each part in turn, go to Object/Properties and deselect "Bend"
  • Finally go to Window/Joint editor and set the center point and alignment for each piece that you need to move.

By all means look to see whats included on my Tutorial CD but in this instance I feel that would be overkill :)
