Hi All,

I'm making a new figure and my poser 8 has been giving me LOADS of trouble (see other posts)... So, I am trying to finish this figure up in poser 6. But, the cr2 I made is from p8 cause thats where I did all the rigging when I made the figure.

My issue is this: Poser keeps breaking up my obj file in places it's not meant to be. I have gone over the obj tons of times, checked the verts to make sure I dont have holes, I've reimported the obj and used the same cr2 as a doner file, I have done everythin EXPEPT reRIG........ Does anyone have a suggestion of what I can do BESIDES re-RIG?

I'll post a few shots so you can see what I mean. I used a cartoon screenshot cause this shows off the breakage the best.

Of course if I can't figure it out in a day I'll just re-rig.... I just hate rigging............and would like another solution. If anyone can help I would be greatly appreciative! Thank you in advance!

How did you group this?  It looks to me as if you let Poser's auto group feature do it?  If so, that's the problem, Poser's auto grouper tends to leave islands of polys in the wrong bone's group and gives this kind of result.  If you grouped it by hand (which I'd always recommend) then something else is going on.

I grouped it myself outside poser, in maya...... strange huh? I need to know why!!? I guess I'll be forced to rerig. I am having tons  of issues with p8, chalk this up to a poser 8 bug in the 8.1.0 version....(i cant use sr3, other freezing issues for no good reason)

I doubt you need to redo the rig, let me see a copy of the CR2/OBJ if you don't mind (see PM for my email).

edit: the OBJ written out by Poser as well as the OBJ from your modeler, both (I bet Poser mangled your grouping somehow).

Some of that surface looks like the normals aren't facing the right (same) way? Just seeing it from a Blender-user's viewpoint.

Good point, although Poser shouldn't ever play with normal facing it's worth checking also.

It's not the normals..... poser DELETED the polys. PJ, I'll send you the stuff.

Figured it might be something like that.

Shucks I thought I was a crusty arrogant son of a bitch, you have redeemed my faith in my own awesomeness and stuff.  Have fun :)

Oops I need to apologize a bit - this problem was not anything to do with Poser.

awesome looking character. Reminds me of something that would be in Fable III lol :)

thats really awsome :O

I think I'm going to add a freebie with it but not sure what to include. Like something to go with him, a prop, ... maybe a flame like i did with another figure (rex), or maybe... hmmm

Some conformers of different types would probably attract extra interest, that's always a common demand about third party figures.

With that mouth I think he needs a full tummy morph...

Whats a conformer? Morphs? I dont know what that is... imanoob

Conforming clothing, clothing rigged for the character to wear... As for morphs, Maya calls them "blendshapes".

ahhhhh, im slow...

make sure he's got a proper bum hole (see other infamous thread)! :lol:

What!!!??? I never thought of that!! Damn, too late, he's submitted already...

he comes with conforming long tongue....... now released on oth other pop site that shall not be named...and will be released here after their testing. Thanks for the help!!!

will be interesting to see your final work. Great job, phionix!  (2-thumbs up!)
