Hello,

I have a big problem with V4 and her arms... As soon as i apply a V4 pose and some lights, the arms break and give me this :

Any idea ?

Thank you

Look in the contents of the pose file that produces that problem, and see if undesirable channel info may have been included - specifically "translateX/Y/Z" parameters.

Thank you but where do i see such thing, please ?

On your HD find the pose you applied and open it in text editor (should be in yor poser/runtime/libraries/pose/..... the file will have the same name which you can see under the thumbnail in POser + extension pz2 = filename.pz2)

Then (inside editor) look for the actor (bodypart) which gives the problem - the names are not exactly the same like for real human.

When you find it look for lines with: translateX, translateY, translateZ - normally they shouldn't be there but like pjz99 said they can. In case you find them then just remove or make them 0.

...or possibly go back to the source you got them from and ask for either a correction, or a refund if you paid money for them.  The only things that should ever be saved into poses - that is, poses that actually POSE the character, as opposed to utility poses that apply materials or some such - are joint rotations, with the sole exception of hip translations.  Expressions are a small exception, but those ought to be separate files again.

Is this happening with a specific pose /set/ or any v4 pose ?   If any v4 pose you may need to reinstall v4 and the morphs.

Actually, this is a freebie pose pack i found... I cannot ask for anything i guess  :-)

The Lines you told me to look for were there with the value 0...  :-(

I deleted them to see the result but it gave me the same thing...

Anyway, thank you to both of you

Do you ever get this kind of problem when you manually pose the figure?  If not, then the problem is certainly with those specific poses - junk em if so, or you could poke around some more and pick out whatever screwed up data is in there and try to clean it out.

That would be an excellent pose for a trauma victim.

I have tried to do so... It seems nothing happens... Then the poses pack is in the trash bin

:-)

I stop free poses then.

Thanks a lot

LMAO . . . Then all my characters have a trauma :-) :-) :-)

Well, there are lots of free poses that are OK, and (very sadly) lots of commercial poses that are not so OK.  ;)

Doublecheck to see if the pose has changed any scaling.  Sometimes, it seems that poses that aren't made for a figure will end up changing a scale value.  I suppose since Poser doesn't know where to put the value, it randomly decides to muck with the scaling.   If all the scale dials aren't showing, download "unhide parms" http://www.ockhamsbungalow.com/Python/ from Ockham and apply it to the figure to reveal the translate/scale dials.

PS - Make sure IK is turned off.  Sometimes, that has weird results when applying poses.

I especially love poses that re-zero all your hard-spun morph values and custom morph targets... those are great!  Really... they're lots of fun... yeah..  honest...  true story...

LOL!  You know I had a project that was wiped out by one of those poses.

Morkonan and patorak  I hear you!

Yep, been there.  Commercial poses too!

I came to recommend what Morkonan said, so my work here is done.  No need to thank me. lol

Yep!  Maybe these pose packages should come with a surgeon general's warning.
