I recently purchased poser pro pack, now the question. What would you suggest for me to do with this geometry in order to attach bones to this geometry. Or what steps should I go through an order to make it a poser character. I have cut up the geometry and named each area properly so far using max. Imported the work in to poser. The photograph shows what I have so far in poser. Any suggestions on what I need to do to make this usable for poser would be greatly appreciated. This is my first attempt to create characters for poser. Could use suggestions. Thank you, for any and all help, with this little project. FDW

If you already have your model grouped with names that match the Poser standard I suggest that you use the P4 Nude Woman.CR2 edited to point to your new OBJ. You will need to set up the joint parameters, but you would have had to do that if you had used the Pro Pack bones/set up room anyway. I would start by realigning all the center points to match your figure.
Looks like an extremely well detailed model too.

"Thank You" for your help, Philc. I have cut up the geometry to try to match Victoria, I will do what you have suggested. This photograph shows how I have chopped up the geometry. Would you suggest to place the center of the joints near the cut up geometry. The last parts needing to be cut, or the thinkers on both hands. Normally, a person would go to jail for doing this :^) And this character will be offered freely to this community for use with no restrictions, however it will depen, upon the amount of help, and support that I received here, in order to complete this project.

Yes start by placing the centers at the junction between groups. I have however just noticed that you have the hands orientated differently to Victoria. This will mean that you will need to in fact start by writing a new hierarchy (PHI) file. If you need help just holla :)
