Hey, Poser Fanatics! I was trying to make a couple of distinctive looking businessmen. Unfortunately, the Poser Businessman doesn't correctly use any of the trillions of cool head morphs created by the myriad Poser Morph Godlings out there! Apparently it has the same number of vertices; they're just in different places! :( Has anyone created a) A businessman who can take standard Nude Man Head MT's; OR b) Business shirt-jacket-tie conforming clothes of the P4NM? Thanks for any help. Mike

I've been looking for the second one - ideally with the goofy tie morphs I saw either in Free Stuff or at the Props Guild (don't remember which!) for a while myself!

I think there is a Morph compatable business man on one of the P4 Cd's ???....I'm not sure but its worth a look..Steve

Thanks for the info, Steve. I checked out my disc and there it was. Good news: The MT's work on the head. Yay! Bad news: I'll need to make new textures based on the new UV mapping. Not much of a problem, really. Worse news: The UV mapping is screwed up on the shirt, and I can't seem to fix it with the Materials Editor thingy! :/ sigh Any suggestions? Mike

The correct texture maps are in there also. You just have to paint them. There is a problem with the map/mesh that makes the neck show through the collar of the shirt. Best way to handle this is to paint the texture onto that part of the neck.

Nance, I selected the areas in the neck and assigned them all to the shirt. After saving both the object and the template, and copying them to the correct Geometries directory, I opened the character in Poser. It still had the same holes in the shirt. :/ newc, You're right. There must be a problem with the mesh. Oy! Mike

you gotta delete or rename the old .RSR in the geometries folder and let poser rebuild a new one based on your new .obj file. Poser does this the first time you open the figure and it cannot find any .rsr with the same name.

Nance, I did indeed do that; I neglected to mention it. :/ Mike
