I can't say enough thanks to everyone who's answered my questions..so quickly too..wow..thanks everyone i'll try everything you've mentioned..i appreciate it soooo much!!

lmao as soon as i get paid for something i do..you'll be the first to get paid..hehe..ty again!

well..WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO and thank you Crescent!! I have been at this for hours and hours and hours today and wow....now that i got it..thanks to you...its very simple after all..I can't tell you how much i appreciate your help..I made the mistake of putting the cr2 and rsr files into the poser/runtime/libraries/character folder..but never made one more folder and it just wasn't showing up in my libraries at all..now that i added a new folder in that character folder named marck, there it is...and it works..it conforms to the figure as its supposed to and i can't tell you how thrilled and relieved i am..and thankful to you and everyone else who has replied and helped me with this...geesh..i do feel pretty silly right now for not having gotten that hours earlier on but i bet i'll never make that mistake again..hehe..again, thank you!!

First..thank you Crescent..for the help ..What i've been working with is an obj file from Serge Marck..the P4 long dress..longdress1.zip from www.poserfashion.net..let me say i'm sure its nothing wrong with that file..its just that this is all so new to me and i am just not understanding what it is i'm supposed to do. So far, i have the obj file in my poser/runtime/geometries folder in a folder named Marck..and the cr2 and rsr for it in the poser/runtime/libraries/character folder..I can import the obj file..get the dress in my document window...but what do i do after that? I can even get the dress there, and the poser4 female figure..but how do i get the dress to attach to her? I tried to conform to figure but its not highlighted and so i can't..any suggestions as to what i'm doing wrong would be appreciated..i've been working on this since i got up this morning and i'm really frustated ..hmmm...and i thought it was going to be so simple..lol..thanks!

I appreciate all the help and the comments..but i'm still getting nowhere with this...the addy for poserworld given is coming up page not displayed..and as for figuring out how to make these dress obj files' i've downloaded to actually conform to the poser4 female like they are supposed to..its just not working..I guess i'm just not as bright as the average bear..lol..any more suggestions, help, tutorials etc anyone can suggest would be so immensely appreciated..

anyone know the addy to poser world? thanks for the replies i'll see if it helps..i appreciate any help anyone else has i'm still confused ..is there a step by step tutorial anywhere on how to do this?

thank you Britt..and very beautiful work!

thank you so much rockets for your help..its truly appreciated!!

thanks so much shadowcat..i took a look at your tutorials and i am finding them very helpful..its hard as a newbie to find basic tutorials ..thank you for your help..!

Thank you both so very much..i think i'm finally getting it now with your help..so much more fun when you see the textures/colors..hehe..now..i'm really starting to love this..but wow, i've got a longggg way to go ..thanks again!!

hey..i sympathize with you..i also am a newbie to poser4..just playing around with it the past few days but its on my mind constantly trying to figure out what i'm doing wrong..i am so lost with it ..hehe..i also am having problems with textures loading and even knowing what it is that poser does or does not do..like, i thought i could take a template for clothing and paint it in PSP..then save as tiff file..then bring it back into poser and have the colors and so forth look just like what i painted..well..i'm finding out i can use the texture off what i painted..but not the color..and the texture looks weird and bad and nothing like what i painted even..i'm so lost..like i said i sympathize with you cuz i can't do a thing with mine that looks even remotely similar to what i see others doing..i'll stick with it but i do wish that the book was a bit more complete about certain things..
