I added a couple of cr2 and rsr files to my poser clothing female area. When I try to open the files, I get a message saying that I am out of memory and I need to increase the amount of memory that I use for poser. How do I do this? This is the first time this has ever happened. MarkD

Do a search on memory in this forum - lots of threads discussing the issue - this link is to one example. Good Luck http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?Form.ShowMessage=366987

Your probably not out of memory. i get that error after poser tries to load an obj file that is either damaged or not in the right directory. If you get a message beforehand about not being able to find a particular obj file then this is your problem. I seriously doubt it's memory as I've loaded files that were like 50+meg before and not had an issue with it (took a long time to load though). I seriously doubt clothes would overload your memory.

what fracture said is right!open the cr2-file that causes the problem in an editor(notepad,wordpad..) and you can see, what *.obj - file is needed and in which directory he should be,look if the *.obj file is in this place or copy the file there

here is a newbie followup question. Could I modify that info in the cr2 file to fix thing to go to directories I want instead of what it originally pointed to?

No problem, the cr2 is a simple textfile and you can change the path to any other directory

Cool, thanks.

Yep, you can modify the cr2 manually. I search for the text string ".obj" if I don't know the exact name. You may want to use one of the .cr2 editors (cr2 edit or cr2editor), but for that task, I prefer to use EditPad, which can search and replace in large files very quickly. EditPad lite is free/shareware, IIRC. It's made by a company called JGSoft. Here's the link: http://www.jgsoft.com/ No, I don't work for the company :P GrayMare

Hi, It's not usually a problem with the .obj file, it's usually with the associated .rsr file, delete that an poser will build a new next time the .obj is used, (you can't do this if the "out of memeory" box is allready on screen though) The thing that really annoys me about this is that once the message appears, once you click "OK" it then deletes the currently active object, (if you have one loaded allready) which isn't good if you've gone a while without saving... later jb

Yeah you have to love that it does that and the error message isn't even accurate. Kind of like, Hi I don't know what the problem is but just for bothering me and trying to operate the program here let me erase your work. Now don't ever do that again. I've learned my lesson. If you are gonna load a new, never tested figure, by god save your work, or Poser will make you cry.
