No... the CD2HTML utility.

Paul, I need your addy to do that :) You can also contact them directly toll free at 1-800-267-5170 if you live in the US. Or another way would be to email sales@zygote.com and explain your situation. Either way, I'll be glad to help, but I still need your email address... -Rob rbtwhiz@hotmail.com

Congrats! Glad to be of assistance and hope you continue to work at figure building. Enough practice will make you confident, in effect causing you to create figures with much more ease. It may never become "easy", but it will definitely become easier.... -Rob

If most of your figure is the standard nude male, why are you not using that .cr2 to start from? It'll save you TONS of work, it's already mostly built for you. Then you can just tweak the jp's for the head and neck... All of the parenting should be done already in the prebuilt .phi. You shouldn't have to parent anything (provided you used "neck" and "head" for the group names of your additions). BTW, the feet being parented to the body may also be for the auto-balance feature... -Rob

In the default male, the feet are children of the body, not the shin though they are welded to them. That leaves the shin the last group in the limb, thus giving you the endpoint. I've thought... this has something to do with IK-chains and/or the walk designer, but don't quote me on it because I'm not positive. Perhaps one of the other figure creators/programers in this communtiy have the answer to that one? Will it be a problem? Without trial and error, it's hard to say what effect it really has. -Rob

If you use the one provided on the content CD, the rotation order for all of the joints should be correct. The only thing that it doesn't have in it are the eyes, which you'll have to cut and paste in a text editor (or John Stallings' Cr2editor) to get them to work correctly. As for whether or not they matter... yes, very much so. The info for joint parameters is not contained in the .obj, it is in the .cr2. Method for editing joints? I use outline mode and side view along with front view. Once you have one side of the body set the way you like, use symmetry/Left to Right(or Right to Left) to copy all joint settings to the remaining side. -Rob

Thank you wyrwulf, my affiliation is going very well. Look for more from me in the coming weeks, I've been an extremely busy man..... :) -Rob

At the very end there is another one that may have been messed up during the save... setGeomOffset should be "0 0 0" as well. Oh, wait a minute... you said you used a phi to build joints... you have to set up the joint parameters yourself now. If you've used standard naming conventions for body parts you may be able to use a prebuilt phi from the content cd (nude male). It would at least give you better results to start with. The above was just a fix for corrupted pre-built .cr2's. -Rob

In the .cr2 there are statements in the top actor section that have been set incorrectly by Poser. "storageOffset" should be set to "0 0 0" on all "actors". -Rob

Yet again, great work! -Rob

Cage, Their phone numbers and emails are on the website under "Zygote Info". The people you want to talk to are at sales@zygote.com. If your in the US here is the toll free number: 1-800-267-5170. Being that it's Sunday, you probably won't have any luck contacting them today. Your best bet is Monday morning. They are very good about customer support and I'm sure once you you explain your problem, they will help you in resolving it. If you decide to just go ahead with the download, you'll get an email telling you where to download them from. They are having a problem with the store software, but have been working hard to fix it. I hope all that helps... -Rob

Beautiful Diane! Love that hair! 3...2...1... -Rob

The problem your getting with the .phi is the names in it for the hip and abdomen do not match the group names in the .obj. Poser is very particular about case when it comes to it's files. You must have "Hip" in the .phi if you have "Hip" in the .obj. Use "hip" instead... and you'll get the same problem again. Though it is best to deal directly with the original .obj, you can use an exported one if you make sure ALL of the parameters are set to "0". One thing to keep in mind though is... in the cr2, Poser "welds" identical verticie. The result of your export may not match the original verticie count which would cause all morphs for that particular part to not work. I don't use Max, but I believe the name of that plugin for it to handle .obj's is HABWare or something like that. I remeber seeing something on Steve Cox's site about it. Steve's site can be found in resources ----------> -Rob

Thank you all! Looks like rbtwhiz found the camera controls for the second one eh? hehehe, shows what a couple of hours rendering, and while waiting becuase you have nothing else to do... reading the manual can do. :D ghostboat, Geo-Metricks is here. Thanks again, -Rob
