Quote - You can group polygons at ZBrush and those groups can be used at poser. Do not group

at poser or use poser's group editor for editing slightly ZBrush created groups...

then rig using poser setup room.

 

Rigging is not so difficult, more important part is giving proper fall off zone or weight-map

at Joint editor...

Since we are on at same time thought I would drop a quick reply.

You are right about the fall off zone/weight map. I have had LOTS of issues getting things working correctly, mostly because Poser is REALLY bad at rigging compared to other programs. In my first rig I had issues where the leg and arm bends would distort the model making them really messed up. Other areas were giving me fits too. The morphs were not working right and seemed to only be OK when done in the "body" area and not individual parts where they sometimes would not work at all.

Any tips, references or help appreciated.
