I purchased Poser over the weekend and have been trying to play around with it. I find the navigation tools impossible. I am attempting to import various .obj files in the hopes of performing cloth operations on them. It seems these imported objects disappear from view and I am unable to find them again no matter where I move the camera. When I have, on rare occassion, spotted them, the geometry looks askew with no relationships to world space. Is there a "fit to screen" or "zoom extents" function? A search for these functions in the manual returns nothing. Also why does Poser automatically group my individual models when I import them as .obj? Is there a preference setting I am overlooking? When I have been successful importing geometry it is only temporary as everything freezes up in the cloth room when I specify what items to "collide against". Is there a polygon limit for collision detection? BTW - I am running a very high-end machine using XP with 1GB Ram and I have the latest service updates........ On this machine I am able to run FormZ 3.9 and Cinema 4D 8.5 with absolutely no problems. I can't help but think that Poser 5 is buggy as HELL! Please advise. My number reason for purchasing Poser was for still cloth simulations that I intend to export to Cinema and render. Thanks for any feedback! Kevin
