Getting back to ease of use.
It's sometimes the way things are explained that can put poeple off doing things.
Quite a lot of manuals, instructions etc. are not written for real people. By that I mean those that don't get all that jargon that appears.
Explain something in an easy to understand way and you will be amazed at how quick someone can learn something they never thought they could do.
Making a DEV (developer) rig for a charcter for example. WOW, that sounds complicated, but it's not, with the right tools.
I used PhilC's PZ3editor.
Load in the Characters cr2 file, for example V4. Victoria 4.cr2. This is the file that you normally click on to load V4 into Poser.
Delete the magnets via the Plugin menu.
Delete the materials via the Pulgin menu.
Delete the morphs via the Plugin menu.
You need to delete the above to comply with copyright problems.
Now go for the Save As option and call it V4 DEV Rig, save as a Figure to your DAZ People folder.
That's the main hard part done. Was that complicated? Do you think you could do that?
All you need do now is make a thumbnail image for the DEV rig file.
Easy enough, load up Poser, load in V4 and pose how you want.
Render menu, Render Dimensions.
Render to exact resolution option.
Switch off Constrain.
Change settings to 90 for height and width.
Select OK.
Render and then save back to your DAZ People folder with the name that you gave your DEV rig file, making sure you save as a PNG file.
Do a refresh of your Daz People folder and ther eyou are........
Your new DEV figure is there.
This figure can be used later when you get to the point of making your own content.
As I said, it's sometimes down to how things are explained.
If in doubt about doing ANYTHING, ask. There is always someone willing to help.
If you DON'T ask. then you will never learn.
All the best.
