Importing SL Mannequin

Hi, I'm new to animations and poses and such. And this probably is a pretty stupid question, so here goes. How do you upload the SL Avatar Mannequin .obj file into Poser 5 and make it a figure? When I import it into Poser 5, it basically becomes an unusable object that I cannot animate at all. I can only maniuplate the whole body as one part, instead of individual parts as it should be.

Thanks

Dagron,

There is a readme.txt file in the Avatar_Mannequin.zip file you downloaded. It has step-by-step instructions on how to import the SL avatar into Poser 5. Here is the section from the readme file copy-and-pasted:

--------------------------

To add the Poser figures to your Poser Library:

1. Navigate to the install location of your Poser app. and open the 'character' folder of your Poser library. (For example, ...\Poser 5\Runtime\libraries\character)

2. Copy the 'SL Avatar' folder and its contents into the character folder.

3. Start Poser and clear the work space.

4. Open the Poser library and click the 'Figures' button to reveal the character folder categories. Open the "SL Avatar" folder to find 2 new characters, "SL_Female" and "SL_Male". Double click the icon to add it to your scene.
NOTE TO POSER 4 USERS: The icon in the library will appear as a generic figure shrugging his shoulders. There may be a couple warning messages about the version number of the character but click through these and the character will be added to your scene. You can then click on the '+' button in the library to create an identical character that will have a new icon and will open without any warning messages.

5. If you want to make this character your default startup Poser character open the 'Edit/General Prefs.' menu, set the Document Preference to 'Launch to Preferred State', and press the 'Set Preferred State' button. Now each time you launch Poser it will load the SL mannequin automatically as its default figure.

Wow, im an idiot. Thank you very much As i was always taught, RTFM! (Read the F*#&ing Manual)
