Posing an imported OBJ

anaximanes_2000

Hello!  I looked all over the Daz store for a good Steampunk Robot, but I had no luck.  Then I found this on another site:

https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/robot-steampunk-pbr-3d-model-1279833

It looks great!  So, I went ahead and bought it.  I have used Daz for about a year now, but I always use Daz store or Renderosity models.  In this case, I imported it into Daz because I had found an "import OBJ" post from years ago here on the forums.  It brought it right in and I intend to use my own shaders on it.  However, the odd thing is that I cannot seem to get his arms and legs and such to move.  Can one of you professionals tell me what I need to do to be able to use this model correctly in Daz Studio.  Thank you!

It needs to be rigged.

Thanks, I watched that video but my Daz Studio does not have the same options.  I noticed I could only find the word "rigging" in Daz if I right click the model.  However, if I select "create a control bone" it says I need something called a "weighted map".  I have no idea what any of this means since I am a total greenhorn at this with no education on it.  Thanks for linking that thread, but I cannot seem to get Daz to make a skeleton rig.

Nevermind, I got a refund.  I'll just stick to the Daz store from now on.  I'll have to wait for someone to make a cool steampunk robot someday!
