Can someone please direct me to a utility or tutorial on opening rsr files? Thanks for sure! Mivan

Why do you need to open an .rsr file? I don't know of anything that will open them... I think that Yarp's P3dO Explorer will show them as thumbnail images though. I don't think that an .rsr file contains any information that can be edited and used... shrug

Which .rsr files are you talking about? There are several kinds.

The main ones are the .rsr files in the Geometries folders (binary versions of the associated .obj meshes), and the .rsr files in the Libraries folders (thumbnail images used by the Poser Library Palette).

The geometry .rsr's don't need to be read. Poser generates them automatically as a faster means of loading a mesh. They become corrupted quite frequently; you can delete them without harm, and Poser will rebuild them. Pro Pack doesn't even use them. There's a tool in Free Stuff that can extract the original mesh from the .rsr.

The library thumbnails are a proprietary image format found nowhere else on this planet. You can use yarp's P3dO Explorer (available at SENO Software) to convert them to and from PNG format, which you can edit with a good paint program.

There are also .rsr resource files located elsewhere in the Poser folder structure, but these are Poser system files and should be left alone.

... leave .rsr files completely ALONE.

Unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing and delete ONLY the ones that will be "re-created" (as Little Dragon said) from the .cr2, .fc2, .pz2, etc. files, you will do nothing but cause problems; thats is, your stuff won't work!

The "text" files can be modified. (but not without impunity ;=])

But, unless you can speak "hexadecimal" (i.e., "1's" and "0's") you don't have a "snowball's chance ..." of doing anything other than causing yourself a ton of grief and messing up your system if you try and play with .rsr files.

Learn how to properly modify the "text" files and you can probably accomplish whatever it is that you're trying to do.

cheers,
dr geep ;=]

... agree with Cin-, why would you want to open an .rsr file? The question is: What are you trying to do? What do you want to accomplish?

I meant, to delete them only when they become corrupted, of course. Pro Pack doesn't use .rsr thumbnails, either. It uses .png thumbnails.
