Last week I modelled a dress for V4. After it went through the fitting room, I saved the rigged character to my library. In the preference tab under I disabled file compression to force poser to create a obj file instead of a obz file. This worked perfectly well. Next I opened the cr2 file with an text editor and changed the path to the original obj file. If I load the clothing item from my library, the name of the item shows in the figures tab, but the geometry does not show in the viewport. What I'm doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated!

I get these little annoyances a whole lot when creating figures - first thing to make sure is that you've updated all instances of the obj in the cr2 (I believe it references the obj twice in a cr2).

Second thing is to avoid having your obj with the same name in multiple places (character folder, geometries folder, possibly your wip folder when you were creating the obj itself) - these days I use names like wip1.obj for my obj files until I have the final version in the geometries folder, and only that one will have the final name. This keeps Poser from getting confused about which obj to use (even though the file is pointing to a directory, I know, I know, Poser gets confused a lot).

Right, I remembered another one: make sure you haven't changed the mesh in the fitting room. If, for example, it changed the grouping, that obj is now different - you'll need to place the obj Poser created with the cr2 into the Geometries folder, instead of your original obj.

Afrodite-Ohki thanks for the answers! I will check the points you mentioned step by step. Hope it works at least, because I want to use my own stuff. It's really frustrating to create something in hours of work, following the instructions to the point but the final step did not work out and one don't know why.

You're very welcome! I hope it works well ?

Here’s my guess why you aren’t seeing the obj after you change the path to the obj in the geometries folder. Did you create body part groups for the original obj in your modeler?

If yes then uncheck the create groups option in the setup or fitting from when you add the rigging. Otherwise Poser will regroup the obj when it saves the obj in the characters folder.

If you didn’t set up the groups before importing the obj, and then edit the path to point to that ungrouped obj, the obj will indeed be invisible when you load the cr2. So group your clothing beforehand.

Deecey, to be honest, I really don't know if I did check this point or not. But thanks for the reply, I will look into it.
