I have a figure I am working on, it is now in obj format and I was wondering how do I bone the eyes to get them to work in Poser. I have Poser 5.

if all you want is the eyes to move in place: 1) import the main obj and each eye as separate objects 2) parent each eye to the main object 3) for each eye, open the joint editor. move the green crosshair to the center of the eyeball. move the red crosshair in front of the pupil. 4) save to character library as new figure.

check the hierarchy editor to make sure the eyes are properly parented. you should see: main body eye1 eye2 if not, drag elements into proper order as shown above.

my previous message didn't reproduce my indenting correctly, but each eye entry will be indented to indicate its position as a child of the main body.

I did check the hierarchy and still with no luck. Unchecked bending but for some reason the body still bends when I try to rotate an eye either left or right but when I rotate up or down the body rotates.... going back to the drawing board on this later when I get home from work (at work now)to see if I can re-do the imports. I would like to get this and the other body parts ready so I can package them as a set.
