All items referenced are free. <br /> DA may need free membership. BowlRoll does not need membership for this door model. <br /> All clicks are left-click unless stated. <br /> <br /> 'PMX Editor (English translation)' <br /> <a class="post-url" href="https://www.deviantart.com/inochi-pm/art/PmxEditor-vr-0254f-English-Version-v2-0-766313588" target="_blank">https://www.deviantart.com/inochi-p...-v2-0-766313588</a> <br /> Please follow the installation instructions. <br /> It should give a purple-haired Anime icon, open as two windows, 'PMX View' scene and info. Both re-sizeable. <br /> <br /> Note upper-right of 'PMX View' window has camera pan/tilt, side-shift, in/out and twirl icons resembling Poser. <br /> <br /> 'Door everywhere' <br /> <a class="post-url" href="https://bowlroll.net/file/271677" target="_blank">https://bowlroll.net/file/271677</a> <br /> <br /> Drag preview pic to convenient folder. Rename lonnng name if annoys. <br /> If browser does not auto-translate, you need the BIG orange ' _V_ Download' button. <br /> Click this and save zip to convenient folder. <br /> Don't worry if looks like 'どこにでもドア.zip' <br /> Rename to eg door.zip <br /> <br /> Free Bandizip will decode contents' names to correct glyphs, but not neccessary for this model. <br /> <br /> Un-zipper of your choice will deliver two PMX files. Don't mind the 'dipthong noodle' names. <br /> 19.7 k file with longer name is 'door_dummy'. Rename as such. <br /> 20 k file with shorter name is 'door', the one you want. Rename as such. <br /> <br /> Drag this 'door' file into either editor window. <br /> Accept import settings' defaults of 'New' and Size = 1, with 'Edge' ticked. <br /> <br /> Door may be too tall for 'PMX View' window. Use in/out arrow to frame it. <br /> <br /> Click the 'PMX View' window's tool-bar's 'T' button to open a new 'Transform' window. <br /> <br /> Door should have two blue spots marking the 'rig/bones'. <br /> <br /> Click the one half-way up hinge-line. A red/green/blue 'gyroscope' should open. <br /> <br /> Just to right, 'bone list' should highlight #1 and OP. Rotation XYZ should show in colour rather than grey. <br /> <br /> Click-drag the green 'Y' button up/down to swing door. (Remember, open towards hinges... ) <br /> <br /> I have not yet found how to set or read precise angle, say 45ยบ. YMMV. <br /> <br /> At top-left in this 'Transform View' window, click on 'File' then 'Update Model (U)' <br /> <br /> Accept the default 'morph threshold', whatever that means. <br /> <br /> The door in 'PMX View' window now matches the swung door in 'Transform View'. <br /> <br /> If you want to 'mirror' this model, in 'PMX View' click 'Edit', 'Mirror Model (M)', accept the 'Confirm' warning. <br /> <br /> As-is or mirrored, go to the 'info' window. Click 'File', 'Export', 'Save as Type: Alias WaveFront OBJ File'. <br /> <br /> Change any default name to eg Door001.obj, click 'Save'. <br /> <br /> Accept default export options for Size = 1 and ticked-edge. <br /> <br /> You should now have a ~42 k OBJ file and companion MTL. Note OBJ mirrored L/R to 'PMX View'. <br /> <br /> If you want to 'mirror' this model, go back to 'PMX View' click 'Edit', 'Mirror Model (M)', accept the 'Confirm' warning. Then go to 'info' window, File, Export etc, but set a different name, eg Door001m.obj <br /> <br /> When you close the PMX Editor, it will warn of unsaved edits. Unless you want to over-write PMX file, click OK. <br /> <br /> Either door OBJ should import to Poser at ~3.5% original scale, with 'place on floor' set. <br /> <br /> Texture to taste. Material zones are... <br /> m0: Frame. m1: Door. m2: Hinges + door-handle. m3: Hinge pin ?? <br /> <br /> These doors are not 'rigged', there's no dial to twirl to open/close. But, as low-poly, you could make, import and overlay several ranging from 'closed', 'a-jar', 'sidle' to 'wide', make all but the one you want invisible... <br /> <br /> As Kath, my wife, was a 'Shakin Stevens' fan between 'ABBA' and 'Queen' albums, here's a 'Green Door'... <br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/680/green_door01.jpg" target="_blank" title="Click to open image in new window"><img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/files/posted_images/680/green_door01.jpg" alt="Image" width="400" title="Image" /></a>
