Quote - I think it was V1/2 that wanted props like this parented to the collars. Even so, if you moved the collar in any direction after parenting, the props needed to be realigned. Does this work the same way with Antonia or say V4? Even enlarging or reducing the size or shape of the breast it would have the same problem. Really frustrating. What would one do if doing an animation and say nipple tapes or barbarian breast armor similarily parented needed similar realignment?
There is one solution: making the rings a conforming figure with the relevant JCM's and the classic breast morphs included. If you parent the rings to the collar, they move with the collarbone. The nipple area of the breast is outside or at the low end of the falloff zone of the chest-collar joint and will not or hardly follow. That's why the rings fly of the nipples when you move the collar. If the rings are parented to the chest, the difference is less. As a conformer, the covement of the collar is used only to the extent given by the fall-off zone.
You could also make the rings follow the nipple vertices using the cloth room. (constrained group), or for a more pemanent solution use a Python script that takes the co-ordinates of the nipple vertices (id number is a constant, 6524 and 6528 for the outer and sides of the left nipple for example for the full-res version. Low-res version could be different but I did not check) and moves the rings to follow. Older Poser versions (5?) featured a sample script showing how to get and put vertex data, but I can not find this in Pro2010.
