I am working with P7 and am trying to further my knowledge. I am a vend here (hhfspinball) and am trying to make a figure. This is my first so I am looking for someone to help me understand how to group the bones to the individual body parts. I made a simple figure with no detail humanoid in shape no fingers or toes. My problem is I can load the obj file into Poser7, apply texture to it, send it into the Setup Room. I use the Bone generator and start at the Hip and work my way out from there in the order of the heirarchy for other poser figures. Once the bones are made I name all the bones so that the internal bone name and the Name are the samein each bone, (ie... Hip, Abdomen etc) once i'm done I try to get the group editor to group the figure part with the bone but seem to be having an issue because when I check for multi-group faces, I get all of them lit up, and when I check the non grouped faces I get none but when I try to leave the Setup Room it tells me that I have polygons that are not grouped to a bone and wants to know if I want to leave anyway. I know it has to clear this stage in order to be a figure but I can't find the issue. maybe it's how i'm doing the setup. anyone wish to help out? I have a really detailed clawbot and a fully detailed robotic warrior I am working on but if I cant get this part down I might as well stop making them and go back to rooms and simple props.
