Ther was I thinking I had got it all sussed out, and then I download a tree from renderocity and have no idea where to place the files. I have an obj a cr2 a png and a mtl, no rsr in sight. I know that poser generates rsr files itself, but what do I do with the obj and mtl files. No read me file with this download.

That sounds like it was originally created in Pro Pack since it has the png and no rsr ...What I normally do is load the cr2 away and then pop it into a blank scene. It will complain and say there is a missing obj and tell you where to place it. But that is on my Mac and I am not sure about PC's .. think someone mentions that doingthat crashes it but I am not sure ...

Ok, the missing rsr is not a problem, since you said you already know poser will make a new one. As to the obj and mtl files, here's what you do. 1. Place the cr2 in whatever library folder is appropriate. 2. Open up your favorite text editor (like notepad,etc) and then open the cr2 file (it will read the text just fine). 3. Somewhere in the cr2 you should find mention of the obj you don't know what to do with. it will look something like :Runtime:Geometries:whateverfolder:objectfile Once you find that line, just put the object in the directory folder mentioned in the line. If you don't have that folder it's a simple matter to create it in the runtime geometries folder. I would put the mtl file in the same folder to start with. If Poser requires it to be somewhere else, it will give you the missing file message and tell you where it's looking. That should take care of the problem for you. Kate

+or do the above but try to lad the file without the obj placed anywhere and a popup will say it cant find tree obj in such and such a folder...c:poserruntimegeometriesfolder then name a new folder the folder name it says and place the obj in it and place int you geo. folders
