hi, I made a sword in Cinema 4d, did the textures with uvmapper, everything fits when when I import it in poser! but when I save it in the archive, it creates a pp2 file with all the obj-information, but I want a seperate objfile. I know how to edit this and make a link in pp2 file to the obj, but the problem is, when I now load the sword over the archive, the model is way to big. Is there a way to include a "resizing-information" in the pp2 file? why i do not resize the obj? I have my reasons :) but somehow it has to work, because when I import a obj in poser I have the option of resizing, so why not in a pp2 file? some advice? thanks

Just change the starting value for Scale in the pp2. The important line is the 'k' line, near the bottom of the scale paragraph. In this example it has k 0 1 which means that the value for Scale at frame 0 is 1.0; change the 1 to whatever it needs to be. For example, if 25% is the proper size, make the line k 0 0.25 ---------------------------------- propagatingScale scale { name GetStringRes(1028,5) initValue 1 hidden 0 forceLimits 0 min 0.001 max 100000 trackingScale 0.004 keys { static 0 k 0 1 } interpStyleLocked 0

If you want the paramiter dial of the scaled prop to continue to display a value of 100%, you can do this by using two scale channels, renaming the first channel and hiding it.

           propagatingScale <br></br>                       {<br></br>                   name GetStringRes(1028,5)<br></br><br></br><br></br>                  forceLimits 0<br></br>                       min 0.001<br></br>                   max 100000<br></br>                  trackingScale 0.004<br></br>                 keys<br></br>                                {<br></br>                           static  0<br></br><br></br>                           }<br></br>                   interpStyleLocked 0<br></br>                 }<br></br>           propagatingScale scale<br></br>                      {<br></br>                   name GetStringRes(1028,5)<br></br>                   initValue 1<br></br>                 hidden 0<br></br>                    forceLimits 0<br></br>                       min 0.001<br></br>                   max 100000<br></br>                  trackingScale 0.004<br></br>                 keys<br></br>                                {<br></br>                           static  0<br></br><br></br>                           }<br></br>                   interpStyleLocked 0<br></br>                 }
