I've created a hat and I'd like to know how to conform it to the figure.I mean,it is possible to conform it to the head even if it has no body parts?And what is a smart prop?

From what I have seen: Conforming Figure - A figure that has the same body parts as another that will inherit the properties of the figure it is applied to at the moment of application. (ie, putting a dress on P4NF in the default pose.) Smart Prop - A prop that not only inherits the current properties of the underlying character, but one that will inherit any modifications made to the underlying character after application. (ie, putting a dress on P4NF in the default pose, changing the chest size", and the prop morphing with the change in chest size.) As to how to make them, I do not know, but hope to soon. :0)

If your hat is already in poser as a prop or obj file or whatever, you may as well make it a smart-prop. Which you do by positioning it correctly (on the head) and then parenting it to the head. Press ctrl-i for properties (or double-click the hat) and, in the dialog box, scroll down the list and find the body part you want to parent it to (I assume it's the head). Click 'head', then 'ok' and save it to the props library. Poser will ask you if you want to make it a smart-prop. Click 'ok'. The next time you open the hat from the library, it will automatically go to the head of that figure and stay there as you move the figure around. It is now a smart-prop. You would only make a figure if the hat had several body parts, like a posable brim, removable hat-band or whatever. And since it's slightly complicated, I won't bother going into it unless you definitely want to do that. mac

heyas; if it doesn't bend: prop. if it does bend and touches.... one, two, or three body parts: prop. (parent it to the middle part and turn on 'inherit bends.') four or more body parts: conforming figure.
