Act fast!... For the first 7 days after PBooost II is launched at Renderosity, when you purchase PBooost II (full or upgrade) you can get it's new Figure Independent Injection plugin, worth $10, absolutely free!

To get hold of your free copy of the FII plugin, simply download the little program ** here**. When you have installed PBooost II, run this little program and it will link you to your free download.

Figure Independent Injection plugin (1.0.0.2) for PBooost II.
This utility is a tool plugin for Hogsoft PBooost II and requires PBooost II to operate.

**What is Figure Independent Injection and what can it do for me?
** Bullet01.jpg Millennium 3 characters (such as Daz Victoria 3, Micheal 3 and the Freak) use a system called Morph Injection to insert/remove different morphs into the figure by the use of morph injection poses. The characters also contain Full Body Morphs (FBMs). These appear as dials in the BODY of the figure and control morphs in many body parts at once. Additionally, the characters may contain Joint Controlled Morphs (JCMs) which allow movement of one body part to affect morphs in others. This system works extremely well when there is only one figure in the scene but, due to idiosyncrasies within these Daz products, if two or more Millennium 3 characters are needed with different morphs, then the FBMs and JCMs stop working: Any morphs injected into Figure 2 take their FBM and JCM control from Figure 1. This means that, in order to give the characters different morphs, you must forget about the FBM dials and JCM and tweak each dial on every body part to the required extent. This can take many more hours than if the FBMs just worked properly. Well, now they can!

Bullet01.jpg Figure Independent Injection describes a discovery by Maveris, developed and tested by lesbentley and layingback, whereby the morph injection files themselves (those files stored in the libraries!Daz folder) are subtly altered to allow multiple figures to control their own FBMs and JCMs.

Bullet01.jpg When the Figure Independent Injection plugin is installed, it creates for PBooost II an FII copy of the !Daz injection folders which can be switched in/out just like any other PBooost bank. When the new PBooost II FII injection bank is switched in, any Millennium 3 figures loaded into poser will be free from the single figure FBM and JCM limitations explained above.

What makes it so powerful and easy to use:
Bullet01.jpg Easy to install plugin. Just run setup.exe and then start PBooost... choose "initialize" from the PBooost tool plugins>FII menu. That's it!
Bullet01.jpg Switching your injection folders from normal to FII is as simple as one click!
Bullet01.jpg Install, initialise and forget... if you always want FII to be active.
Bullet01.jpg No more hand-editing loads of files or running complex scripts to get FII flexibility.
Bullet01.jpg No Python required: works in all Poser versions.
Bullet01.jpg Doesn't alter your existing injection files at all... it creates it's own special FII copies.

The PBooost II library tree now shows the default !DAZ and FII injection banks:
