I made a toon bug for poser, saved him as a prop. Then I decided to make him into a figure, so I took him into UVMapper, assigned groups, resaved him with a new name, and loaded him into poser. I went into the setup room and added all the bones, ( I have never rigged a figure before so that's a whole new topic! lol) Then I went back into the pose room, saved him to the library, so I could mess with the joint zones later, but when I went back to work with him some more, I clicked on the icon to load him, and it says he's there, but the little bugger is invisible! lol I don't see him at all, but it says he's there, so what did I do wrong?  Thanks :)

Did you make sure that the bone names, both of them, are exactly the same as the group names you assigned?

Other than that, I can't think of why it dissappeared.

PhilC has some excellent video tutorials on rigging..

Yes I'm pretty sure everything was named correctly, but I will open the file in edit pad and check again, Thanks.

Hi Pokeydots

Maybe its loading the cr2 rigging info... but not the obj file, for some reason?

Just a wild guess here! I have no clue yet about rigging. He he ;-)

Well I closed poser out, and opened the figure up in poser 8 and it loaded, so then I opened P9 back up and now the figure loads, so either opening it in P8 or Closing P9 and reloading worked, so now I just have to work on the joint zones :)  Thanks!

Cool - glad to hear it ;-)

Did you rig his legs to bend at all their little individual sections then?


pokeydots ( ) posted Tue, 18 December 2012 at 7:18 PM

Thanks :) Not rigging all the individual sections lol this is my first try so it is going to be a simple rig. I am starting over as I wanted to regroup some sections. His eyes are just props that will be parented, as I have no clue how to rig the eyes  :)

He he... sounds sensible. I thought rigging all those seemed like a major undertaking!

Good luck with him... he's a cute bug. Would be nice to see how he turns out ;-)


pokeydots ( ) posted Tue, 18 December 2012 at 9:55 PM

If I can make him somewhat poseable I will post him in free stuff, if not he will go up as a static prop! lol
