importing obj in poser

Importing obj file

Importing an obj file in poser scene

this tutorial is intended for novice of Poser software.
Here we are going to explain step by step how to import an obj file into the scene and became a dynamic cloth.
furthermore we will change also some parameter of the cloth room just to understand the behavior of the geometry and at the end create a smart prop for further use.
you can download the cloth object of the tutorial right here. download

STEP 1

Import the figure you want to use into your poser scene and set the pose to 0.

STEP 2

in the file menu click import and after wavefront obj

STEP 3

in the pop up windows that will appear left all parameter as default and click ok.

STEP 4

select the obj file you want to import into your scene and click open in the windows.

STEP 5

as you see the obj geometry will load in the 0 position, and the dimension are not fitting the figure in the scene, so you will need to scale the obj file until it will fit your figure.

STEP 6

move it in the way that it is corresponding to the figure you already have and start scale the obj.

STEP 7

STEP 8

now that we know the exact scale factor we need for the obj, we will delete it from the scene and we will start again from the step 2

STEP 9

this time instead we will modify the parameter for the scale straight to 47% in order to get the obj loaded already scaled.

STEP 10

as soon as it is loaded you will see that the scale in the property panel is 100%, and the obj it is fitting your figure.

STEP 11

position the obj to fit the figure

STEP 12

be sure that your obj file is selected and the in the menu click object..

STEP 13

in the object menu click change parent

STEP 14

the pop up window of the figure will appear and you will parent your obj to the hip of the figure.
ones you did it you will be able to move your figure around the Poser scene and the obj will follow the figure remaining always in the same position.

STEP 15

now it is the time to switch to the cloth room and start setting the parameters for the new simulation.
