Hi Cylui,

A confession - I'm a newbie with Poser4, but collecting heaps of info and tutorials to try to come up to speed. Schlabber's tip for saving 2 figures was as yet untried by me when I passed on the tip. But I have just now given it a go.

Firstly you do the renaming of the .pz3 to .cr2 in Wind Explorer and it's there that you copy it to the Character library.

2 things happened. When I saved the original .pz3 of the 2 figures into the Character libarary it did not give me an .rsr file either (nor an .obj file for that matter) but the shrugging guy was in the library.

On opening it in Poser than pressing the + and using another name, the thumbnail of the 2 figures appeared in the library ok, and on returning to Wind Explorer this time there was an .rsr file. (The.rsr's being the shorthand version of an object file plus the thumbnail that appears in the library according to my info).

But... it now dawns on me that you are using the Pro Pack, and I am using Poser4 only, and according to what I've picked up here ProPack saves .png instead of .rsr files.
Did you get a .png with the renamed .cr2?

How it all works in Pro Pack I hope someone else can help with. But I also read that a freeware proggie called P3dOExplorer converts .png files to .rsr files, should you need it. You can find it here at Free downloads if you put it into the search window.

Hope this helps and good luck. :)
