heyas; did you make the clothing, or did somebody else? if you can't see the obj when you import it, how did you see it fitting on the primate in question? it is VERY important that the obj fit on the figure, when both are just obj files. for example, if somebody built a tuxedo that fits around the posed gorilla, but they built it to their standard working size in, say, max.... it WOULD fit on the posed gorilla if it is imported and shrunk down. but it won't conform that way. if you're importing the clothing obj and don't see anything, it could be that the item is just too big, or it could be floating out in space somewhere (or both). if you load it, and you see a name entry for it, try turning on the ground shadows and zooming out until you can find it. if it is the correct size, it may still be incorrectly built, if it were built over a posed figure. for example, the human figures are built with their arms and legs straight out, but when you load them into poser, they have their limbs bent, and they are scooted forward slightly in space. if you build clothes on an exported figure that is posed or moved, the clothes won't work correctly. also, yes, you may be doing something wrong with the cr2. well, that's an occupational hazard ;) you really don't need to edit it too much, the main thing, the most important thing that you need to do, you have to do right in poser. you've got to zero out the figure completely, and then MEMORIZE it. if you do only one of these steps, it ain't gonna work. zero, memorize, save. then plug your obj into the cr2 and see if it works. if it doesn't, then something is screwy with the obj. if it does, then you can worry about going into the cr2 and deleting the unused morphs and materails and body parts.
