A friend of mine made a prop for me he gave me the obj. file, texture files. and he dropped me the pz3 file and I cant get the dumb thing to work. I don't know if i am missing a file or two or if it just will not work. The obj opens in Hexagon and i am able to manipulate it but as for getting it to work in Daz I can't load it as a prop or a figure file.

    It sounds like a Path issue. Poser type props normaly have either a cr2 or pp2 file extention, that Load the Object into Poser or DAZ Studio, and come packaged in the proper folders like this...

    Runtime
    ...geometries
    .....ITEM Folder/Item.obj
    ...Libraries
    .....Props
    .......ITEM Folder/Item.pp2 or Item.cr2
    ...Textures
    .....ITEM Folder/Texture1.png, Texture2.jpg

    If the item was made properly the proper folders will get it to work, if the item was made with HARD coded paths it will only work properly on the PC it was made on until the paths are edited.

    Keep in mind the Folder names will need to match the ones used when the item was made.
