Say I need a hand here people. Now that the bottom has fallen out of Poser5 I feel that it's high time that I started taking up some of the slack. I am trying to covert some of my characters to poser models so I need learn the ins and outs of Cr2, Poser Rigging etc. Where can I pick up some good info on that. Yeah I know that I can go online and find the info I seek, but this is so much easier.

Hey Tephladon! I know there are tutorials on Cr2 editing etc. somewhere around here but I've never done it myself and can't recommend a specific URL. That makes this a somewhat useless response but I just hated to see that no one else had replyed. I appreciate that you're interested in getting involved. I know the quality of your work (excellent!!) and think its great that you're interested in helping take up the slack. Hopefully someone will come along who can point you directly to the info you're wanting.

TEPH!! if you can learn the intricacies of poserizing your meshes you are in for some major $$$$rewards$$$ trust me!!! It might be easier with the propack as you work with bones and assigning polygon groups to specific bones somewhat like rigging and weighting in lightwave I have acually built a few rough figures using third party meshes and importing "posettes" bones into the setup room and fixing them to the mesh. With your world class Modeling skills you could do very well as a poser figure creator!! Contact user 'PhilC" he's a master at poserizing meshes into figures And check with Anton Kissell of DAZ he makes out very well using Lightwaves modelor to create his poser figures. Good luck Bro!!!!

heyas; i have a book coming out soon about creating figures for poser, that will have everything you need. :) for specific questions with rigging up your figures, hang out in the character creators forum, and for real technical cr2 hacking and whacking, check out the poser tech forum :)

Where and when for the book?

heyas; not sure how long it will take to run through the mill (so to speak), but soon. and more or less world-wide. when i know anything, there'll be a big announcement, of course ;)
