Okay, Cage and Mason. I thank you for your help. I also found out that what I had to do was keep the .rsr for the modified .obj file so the computer would THINK it had the custom geometry even though the CR2 was pointed elsewhere. In essence, I am lying to Poser 4. The geometry is custom but the CR2 won't texture right if I let it know that so I let it build the .rsr with the custom geometry and then fixed the .CR2 file so that it would texture right. Okay, that said...problem #2 I modelled my figure on the P4 Male Nude with genetalia, but when I render with genetalia turned off, this happens. Um... Help. How do I make it so the groin is rendered smoothly?

JKELLER has a NO-GEN P4 Male CR2 and PCF over at the props guild that may solve your problem (or not). He removed the switch that changes out the hip geometries and fused the no-gen hip into the figure. There are actually two separate hips in the geometries folder so if both were not remapped you would have a problem. -JH.

Instead of doing the fancy swap thing, try editing the cr2 and just change the obj file its pointing to. Its pretty easy. Just open the cr2 in a text file, change the figureresfiles and you're set. In a standard figure there are only 2 lines to change.

If you just edit the OBJ references in the P4 male CR2 you could have problems because of the gen-switch. -JH.

heyas; well... what if you want to remove the genital swap switch, but keep the hip and genitals in, instead of the hipnogen part? just tinker with the p4 no gen figure cr2?

You could try exporting the problem no-gen hip from Poser, then remapping it in UVMapper. Pull the male .obj into Compose. Delete the old no gen hip and replace it with the re-mapped version. I haven't tried this sort of thing with the male, so I don't know if there might be problems with this process due to the genitals switch.

No need to export, the no-gen hip part is right there in the geometries folder. The gen-switch consists of two parts under the second hip header: "alternateGeom hip_1", this is the switch, and "geomChan hipGeom" in the hip channels section. I've successfully added this feature to the EveGen figure, and can switch from a Gen to No-gen versions as needed. -JH. http://www.egroups.com/group/PoserTECH

I was wondering if that was possible! Will you be posting this version of Eve? Cool!

I'll see what I can do.

Okay, it's posted in the FILES section at PoserTECH. -JH. http://www.egroups.com/group/PoserTECH
