heyas; good lord! somebody who USES my tutorial??????!! ::FAINT!:: some tips: 1: do not zero and export your figure from poser. just load the figure's base obj directly into lightwave. (er, you don't need the face in lightwave to model clothing onto your figure ;) ) 2: do not load the base figure into the scene if you're going to use the setup room. load your figure, jump into the setup room, then load the base figure into THERE, to inject the skeleton. 3: for the love of sanity, do NOT use the grouping tool, and ESPECIALLY do NOT use the auto group feature!! ::shudder:: :) 4: the contorted shoulder pad is simply a victim of joint parameters. the shoulder pad is straight out, right? so is the base arm. but then you bend the figure's arm down, right? and the figure's shoulder smoothly bends down. well, so does your shoulder pad, turning it into a foam rubber shoulder pad. you can just adjust the joint parameters for it, or turn off bending for that part.
