I was clicking around DAZ and found an upgrade to "Millennium Kids - Young Teens Upgrade" from "Millennium Boys or the Millennium Girls" but I don't get how this works since isn't the former an INJ/REM Uni-mesh and the latter a Millenium mesh with .cr2 morphs? I searched the threads here and did not find anything, but there were references to the shoulder joints being better than with other DAZ figures... is this true?

Also I saw a thread indicating V3 morph INJ could be used on Laura and M3 on Luke... is that true?

The upgrade is the same as the regular version. It just checks for the milgirl OBJ before it installs. IOW, it's just a discount for those who own the earlier version. They did the same with V3, M3, the Millennium Dragon, etc. If you own the original version, you can buy the new version at a discount.

The upgrade is simply a purchasing price deal. If you already own either version of the previous kids, you can buy at the upgrade price. During installation, the installer checks to see if you have the required mesh installed (so it's important to make sure you have the Mil Boys/Girls currently in your runtime!) The old files are not overwritten, so you end up with your existing versions as well as the new ones. Laura will take some of V3's injections straight out of the box, if she has channels which are named the same. She will not take, for example, the Voluptuous morph. I assume Luke/M3 are similar, but haven't experimented.

As said, if you already own the mil gitls/boys you can buy that package and save some money. You won't be disappointed, they bend better than they used to. You can add all the V3 morphs to teens, using Morph Manager. You will need to use most of the dial settings at about half of what you would use on V3, but they work quite well otherwise.

This MorphManager deal would work by loading all the INJ on V3 (+150Mb?) and then moving them over to Laura with MorphManager? Or is it MorphManager moves over the empty channels?

Does SP3 take V3 morphs? I actually am looking for a short stature grown woman for the least money possible... low-poly would be best. I am waiting for SP3RR which will probably never come out. I shelled out for the V3 morphs when they were on sale incase I ever upgrade my computer, but given my difficulty with V3 I am loath to shell out for SP3 and the morph packs. BTW, I Hate INJ, I just can't figure it out... I can't stand what is involved in using REM after doing full-body morphs. Any solution for how to make a good 5'2" woman with some light to middling body fat would be apreciated. I have never had much luck scaling figures P3-P6.

Morph Manager will move the empty channels then you can inject what you want. You can just move the ones you want to use and not the whole lot. Yes you can move V3 morphs to SP3. Many of us use Laura to create small stature women.

You can create a "default head shape" morph from Vic3 (or SP3) and apply that to Laura. Then any head morphs made for Vic/SP3 will have the same effect on Laura. SWAMP

"a short stature grown woman for the least money possible... low-poly would be best."

Soo, basically youre looking for a kind of "NEA-Petite" ?

^-^

Mostly done by scaling, except for the hip and abdomen, so that Posettes clothes still could be made to fit without too much work.
Yamatos improved JointParameters cause a bad deformation if you try to rescale the thighs y-size, but I didnt want to go back to the bad original Posette Joints, either, so I had to make new ones for the hip and thighs.

Luke wont take M3 morphs, he takes Victorias morphs, but if you apply the uvs of michael to luke using uvmapper, you can use michaels morphs on luke

Another pic showing that the knees still bend fine.

If you can use her send me a PM, momodot.

^-^

Stahlratte, The NEA-Petite looks awesome! Good job with the hip, thigh, and knee bending. Just out of curiousity, could you also release her just like you did with NEA and NEJA? Thanks, -The Starkdog

stahlratte, You are always on top of things. I love to see what you are up to... I will send you PM you, thanks. I am curious... what scaling did you do?
