Just got P6 (upgrade from p4pp), and want to use characters that can be exported as a Wavefront OBJ. I understand how to set up groups within the OBJ and the naming conventions for Poser (for symmetry and the Walk designer). Keep in mind that I'm using Mac OS X and PHI builder ain't available. This is where I'm confused (moreso than usual :> ) When I do import the OBJ to be used as a figure, is using the Hierarchy editor the same as creating the Hierarchy file as described on Pgs 344-346 of the Poser 6 tutorial manual? It seems as if that section of the manual is pretty much the same as what came in Poser 3...and in the "Bad to the bone" tutorial on the Curious Lab web site there's no mention of creating a text-based hierarchy file, just the use of the Hierarchy Editor in the setup room. So.... can I just forget about creating a text-file hierarchy and just use the Hierarchy Editor? Just wanna know so I don't get all frustrated and waste hours going down a dead end... Any comments or links appreciated muchly! tia
