I'm trying to make the Bag prop from the Zygote costume shop CD poseable. I want to be able to rotate the strap about the bag, to make it hang naturally when worn over the far shoulder (across the chest). Since it's Zygote's mesh I can't post it, so I'll excerpt those pieces I added to it. The OBJ file now contains three groups: the bag, the strap, and the button. The relevant pieces of the OBJ file are: v ... (lots of vertexes) vt ... (lots of texture nodes) g bag usemtl bagMat f ... (lots of faces) g button usemtl buttonMat f ... (lots of faces) g strap usemtl strapMat f ... (lots of faces) Here is my PHI file: objFile :Runtime:Geometries:BagOfHolding:BagOfHolding.obj 1 bag xyz 2 button xyz 2 strap xyz When I try to convert this hier file, Poser responds with the error: "No geometry to match node: bag", and the same error for the button and strap. I've checked and rechecked my files. I've used the same name for the groups and the PHI, the path is correct in the PHI, and all of the groups from the OBJ are listed in the PHI. I've made sure to not mix up lower versus upper case letters. Yet Poser still doesn't like my file. Can anyone suggest what is wrong, or what to try next? BTW, I'm using a Macintosh and Poser 4, if it matters.
