Re-read your post...

Is the Origin only the center of rotation, not the
default loading place?

Yes, the origin is only for rotation and scaling, it doesn't affect where the object appears in the scene.
If you use PoseRay at all, the origin is what PoseRay refers to as the Scale and Rotation Center Point on the Geometry+UV screen.

I've been trying to reproduce your problem with the enclosed .pp2 file. This one always puts the origin were I specify with the origin line. Ignore the OriginX section.

Are you using custom geometry or including an .obj file?

Have you looked at Dr Geep's Wave function tutorial? See attached link.

ellocolobo, The 'arms straight out' position is the default for all Poser people. See attached image of Casual Boy, Casual Don, Victoria3, Nude Baby and Gramps meshes. This image was done by loading the wavefront .obj files from Runtime/Geometries. Any mesh can be turned into a posable figure, it just needs some bones setup. Luckily for you, Dr Geep's doing a Setup Room Tutorial covering that very task. Look at these three threads: [Dr Geep's Setup Room Tutorial Pages 01-10](http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?Form.ShowMessage=1977525) [Dr Geep's Setup Room Tutorial Pages 11-20](http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?Form.ShowMessage=1981504) [Dr Geep's Setup Room Tutorial Pages 21-25](http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?Form.ShowMessage=1989913)

Apply textures and render...

Now that you can see what you're doing, use the XYZ Trans and scale dials to move the hair into place. Notice there is a skull cap inside the wireframe you can use to center the hair.

After loading V3 and the Hair Prop, set the Hair Prop element style to WIREFRAME. (Most newer transmap hair has this set by default.)

A-Sometimes. Hires Textures on a single V-3 make me wish for more.

Displacement Maps?
