Okay. I made a P4 man/P4 woman hybrid of the p4 woman's head on the man's body, because the man's head is just too ugly most of the time for my girly-boys. I did it well. Except that when I told poser to keep the altered geometries, it decided to move the P4 woman's head down to the man's chest. So I moved it with magnets up to the correct spot. Now I have it, but the head for posing isn't in the same spot as it is for viewing. So I exported the obj file, made a cr2 file... And now the fun begins. I can't pose the figure now because of the joint parameters. I'm ready to rip all my hair out to get them right. Can anyone help me with this? Please?

There is a set proceedure for doing this. The figures that come with Poser are not located at zero x,y,z, coordinates. I think they did that just to piss off the newbies ;-) Proceedure: 1.)load the female figure from the library 2.)turn off the IK on the legs 3.)select the hip then open the JP editor and click the ZeroFigure button. 4.)This doesn't quite Zero everything. So you must then check each body part and look at the dials to see if they all say 0 on each translate dial. Change any that don't to a value of 0. 5.)make the head and eyes invisible 6.)load the P4 man from the library and line it up to the woman's body so the head is in the right place. 7.)export..... X'ing the woman's body parts without the head and eyes, and the man's head and eyes and not the rest of his body parts. Note: If you have a 3dmodeling program. You can do all of this stuff in there instead. Using the .obj files in the Poser folders. The reason you do all of this is so that you can use the existing P4 woman's .cr2 file on it. After you create a figure in this manner. And use the woman's .cr2 file for it. The JP's will all work like the original except for the head. That might need a little tweeking. But shouldn't need much. ScottA
