Some times you open a pz3 or import a cr2 and you get nothing in the preview, though the figure is listed in the character list of your scene. When people report this problem, they are usually told to delete the rsr of their obj's. This might not be the solution everytime. I created an obj (and UV mapped it) and made it a cr2. I put the obj in my Geometries folder and set the cr2 to call this obj in the right place. It was a fortnight ago : I tried to import the cr2 and open the pz3 : everything worked all right. Today, I tried to open the pz3 and import the cr2 and I got the vanishing figure syndrome. Tried to delete the obj's rsr : didn't work. I then tried to import the root obj into the scene and got an error message : "error in FFObj.arp plug-in". I tried to reinstall Poser 5, but this didn't work. So the question is : what is this FFobj.arp plug-in and what can be done about it to avoid the vanishing figure syndrome ? Also, do you see a way for me to restore my obj (if you think it is corrupted) ? Thanks in advance to all the technical wise who will give me their advice. Compiler
