HI all,

I loaded up v4 and gave her some clothes and hair.  I would like to be able to save her as a figure in a runtime, not as a scene.   I tried doing it with advanced library manger, and it was nice, but it wanted to save her as a new collection of parts.   As near as I could tell.

Here's why I want to do this: I want to create specific characters, and I don't want to have to put all the parts together every time for every scene I create, you know? I want to do something with a storyline, and this would save time.  

If I save this V4 as a scene, then every time I want to make a new scene I have to do it again.  Then there is no point to saving it as a new collection of parts because I can already get the parts. The only advantage to that would be the parts would be in the same runtime.

What I would like to do is create a figure with all the hair, clothes, morphs, etc. I want to give it, give it a unique name, and then be able to plop it in a new blank scene anytime I need to.

How can I do this?

Thanks!

make sure all hair/clothes are parented/conformed

Select V4

Be in character folder where you want to save her.

Hit the plus sign on the library pallet, it will ask if you want to save as a group, answer yes

fabulous, thank you!

you can import a saved scene into a new scene (import / poser doc if I remember right)

Hi hedd. Yep you can indeed combine pz3s into an existing scene but I suspect Bill's suggestion would better serve the OP.

Well that's good to know too, thank you!  Willyb53's advice worked like a charm!

Importing scenes work very well except you need to delete lights before saving or delete them in your current scene before importing.  The ability to merge scenes does help in concentrating on specific stage sections without the background clutter getting in the way.
