What does it mean when you finish remapping an object and load it into Poser to see what it looks like with your new texture and when you click on the button it's invisible? I remapped it in Deep Paint 3D and saved it as a obj ... changed the cr2 name & deleted the rsr file. I've had this problem with several clothes items in my collection. Any help would be very much appreciated. Stormi =)

What exactly is invisble? And which .rsr did you delete, the one that sits with the cr2 or the one that sits with the obj?

The Tank top that I remapped and loaded back into Poser is invisible. The name of the new remapped version shows up but when I click on it to use it seems to go onto my work space but it's invisible. I deleted the rsr file that sits with the obj then I changed the CR2 file to reflect the changes. Thank you for answering my plea... Stormi =)

I'm thinking that possibly when you remapped it, somehow the group names in the obj file became renamed or were lossed completely. When a cr2 loads an object, it only loads the geometry for the body parts that are referenced. Open your .obj in a text editor and look for lines that start with a 'g'. The 'g' should be followed by the group name. For a tanktop you should see the following groups:

g hip
g abdomen
g chest

and possibly:

g rCollar
g lCollar
g neck

You should check to see that the groups are still named exactly like above.

Hope this helps.

THANK YOU ... IT WORKS! Figured out the problem. Because you can't just load an obj into deep paint from Poser I had to export my outfit out of Poser and then load it into Deep Paint. (it was very VERY wrong) ... When I loaded the obj into the UVmapper and remapped it and placed it back into Poser it worked!! I can't thank you enough for your help. Hugs!!!! Stormi =)
