Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Sep 22 10:18 pm)



Subject: Is there any demand for content for Alyson2 (anastasia)?


paganeagle2001 ( ) posted Sun, 27 May 2012 at 12:03 PM

The more MAT zones the better for me, plus when you do promos for the store do a promo showing the front and back MAT zones.

The reason for this, as a add on MAT maker I like to see what I can texture with both materials an template material via Stitch Witch.

All the best.

hmm, on second thought it will have to be done with masks, not mat zones.

the best meshes for the cloth room use delaunay triangulation, which gives a randomized pattern of triangles -- which are unsuitable for clean mesh group lines.

as long as the mesh has good UV maps, however, masks are an excellent compromise.



meatSim ( ) posted Sun, 27 May 2012 at 12:35 PM · edited Sun, 27 May 2012 at 12:37 PM

Is that Alyson_dev for alyson or alyson2?  Ihavent used it because I figured it was for Alyson1

 

Quote - Ok, now I normally use AGE:-

LINK

This sets up my groups for the item. What you might have done is mixed up some areas when grouping ans so get the problems you have encountered.

Once you have a grouped mesh, just import in to Poser. Make sure Centred and Percentage of size is switched off.

Now, I normally don't have any figure in the scene, but that is my preference.

Go to the Setup room.

Now rigging isn't hard, you just need the right Dev rig to do it with.

If you have a look in your PoserCharacters sectionPeopleAlyson, you will see a figure called:-

Alyson_DEV

That is the rigging that you need, so pull into the scene and the bones will now appear.

Back to the Pose room. At this point, if you get an error message saying things are not grouped, then you have missed something in the grouping with AGE and need to find out where the problem is back in AGE.

If everything has gone right, you are now back inthe Pose room. Load in Alyson 2 and now do a conform of your new item to the figure.

Now, the pain begins!!!! Lol.

You may need to check fall off zones as things stay in place or elongate when you move or ben a limb.

I can't go into doing that in this little post, but it's not hard, I used to think it was impossible, but now it holds no fear.

Once everything is done, fall off zones working etc. you can then save it to Your Character section in a folder of your choice.

If all works as well, dance around like a loom and shout outto all that can hear that it works!!! Well, you don't have to but you will feel like doing it!!!! LOL.

All the best.

I really am still working on these Jeans (Click for a better view) and the business suit for Ana (and adding morphs for Candy and Shae now), but the learning curve on the rigging has side tracked me far too much. Not to mention several side projects I've rigged for others.

I just suffer from wanting them to work RIGHT! and having a harder time accomplishing that than I at first thought there would be.

I wouldn't think it should.  Alyson 2 being weightmapped and alyson not.  Plus are their default poses not slightly different?

One more question..  what is our best workflow?  Model and rig to Alyson2 then morph to fit Anastasia?  Or is it just as easy to model to Anastasia and rig with Alyson2s skeleton?

Like the jeans, even though everyday clothing isn't something I use much.

Still looking forward to EOD's Tailgunner set :)

I was hoping when the Little Red set came out for Ana that there might be more similar stuff in the works, but nothing else so far.

I've found the best way for me to convert V4 clothing to Ana is just to refit manually - and hooray for the Morph Tool! Having very little luck with WW and no XD licence for A2, so I'm going to have to stick with pushing and poking her into other figures' nifty sci-fi clothing for now.


paganeagle2001 ( ) posted Sun, 27 May 2012 at 6:19 PM

Ok, my bad, it does appear that there is differences:-

Link

So, we do need a Alyson 2 Dev rig to start with.

As to which wayt to go, I did my top for Alyson 2, and then did a slight bit of work for an Anastasia version.

Did a quick test, imported the Alyson 2 versions, then load in a Load Morph Target, both worked fine.

It was only a little bit of modification, but it did work.

All the best.

Lyrra ( ) posted Sun, 27 May 2012 at 8:19 PM

well  I now have this long list of stuff to make ..  as long as I think I'll sell at least 10 of each I don't mind giving it a whirl.

I'm about to buy Shiae (?) the new girl, so I can make magnets for her as well.

first up is going to be the bodysuit.  So if any vendors following this want to make textures for it, drop me a line and we can talk.

I think part of the problem is that a lot of vendors are used to vicky. Alyson is shaped slightly differrently, and rigged differrently. I had a couple bobbles myself but I cheated ... I asked Nerd heh.  For people used to working by rote a change as big as that is scary :)

I've made conformers for all sorts of weird things like elephants and dinosaurs as well as other third party figures so it's just one more cr2 to mangle to m. But really .. breast bones? just made me laug, though I can udnerstand why.

Yeah six months is a while to wait for new stuff for a figure, but we're here now. So why not ask for what you want? this seems to be a big thread now with lots of eyes on it.

 

Let the vendors know you are interested. On good terms with some? message them and ask for content.  It seems to have worked for the people wanting mens clothing so here your chance to proive you can lobby for another figure.

 

Yes I do intend to be making a proper devkit, optimised for subd modelers.

 

Lyrra

 



Lyrra ( ) posted Sun, 27 May 2012 at 8:29 PM

things to know:

alyson 2 and alyson 1 are VERY DIFFERRENT. you can NOT use the a1 devrig for a2 content

Aly2 uses the weightmapping layer on top of the regular rigging, so tools made to work with classic cr2's will barf on her. In theory one could take the wm layer off and resave the cr2 but cough I havent figured out how yet

 

Helpful tip: Export aly2 in the zero position. this will work as your grouping item in AGE

Posers grouping tool is Evil.  If thats what you have though, remember, after grouping in poser you MUST open the mesh in Uvmapper or similar and Weld Vertices. Poser still chops them at group lines. This will do bad things to you later

You can group or regroup thngs in Uvmapper, though AGE is my preference.

Always try to model to the base shape, or strange things happen when rigging/moving.

Alyson2's feet do odd things , so if you are making non-flat-pose shoes (very high heels) you need to be careful.

LilWolff ( ) posted Sun, 27 May 2012 at 9:44 PM

Blackhearted, I don't have luck with dynamic and I prefer conforming. It is my personal choice for the software I purchased, this is a hobby to me. I really try not to spoil it with needless arguments, disagreements and differing opinions, to each their own. 

My answer  to Lyrra's question was an honest one and it was not meant as an insult to you or anyone else. I am sorry if anyone felt i was targeting their work in a negative manner, that was truly not my intent. 

 


Blackhearted ( ) posted Sun, 27 May 2012 at 10:04 PM

file_481771.jpg

so the dynamic dress resource is pretty much finished.  ill release it tomorrow since i still have to write the readme, and triplecheck it for any issues.

i created several different masks, with components of them on separate layers of a .PSD file, so people can add more masks, recombine them, etc to get different dress cuts. pictured are 4 combinations, short and long skirt with both short and long sleeves.

the fact that masks are used is a double-edged sword. you can run one simulation, and then swap to different dress lengths without having to re-run the simulation, or if you run into issues with the sleeves in a sim, you can swap to the short-sleeved one.  the downside is that there may be some slightly unpredictable results when using the short sleeve/skirt masks in some simulations. since its redistributable (read conditions in the readme) you can even cut up the mesh in a 3D app, remap it, add to it, or whatever you want. 

theres morphs for Shae and Anastasia, someone just mentioned Candy to me so ill see what i can do about adding that as well.

cheers,
-Gabriel

Definitely interested in the body suit!

Trouble with anything else is I don't know what I want 'til I see it and it says "buy me!" ;)

Generally though my list would be conforming sci-fi and fantasy stuff.
(Morph for Candy would be a plus!)

(If it helps, things I wouldn't buy are everyday clothing (don't use it) and dynamic clothing (make my own).)

Technically you probably cant without permission... though through our experience with v4 wm that may be true of the basic rigging.  There is probably a lot that could be dis allowed by the strictest legal reading of the liscence, its a matter of what SM will allow.  Perhaps PM one of the SM guys at RDNA and ask

Lyrra ( ) posted Mon, 28 May 2012 at 6:35 PM

well setting up for alyson 2 is a headtrip if you are used to classic rigging in poser. For best conversion the clothing needs to be grouped coming in, for the bones to adhere properly, but it looks like the groups vanish after rigging. Plus they did something strange with the feet which is making foot conformers troublesome.

 

I've about got a clean rig on my devsuit, once I get that nice and tidy I don't mind people swiping the rig off of it.  I will get a couple people to check my work though, just to be certain.  I'm new to poser's weightmapping and I dont want to do somehting amazingly dumb (which is oh so very easy)

I'll post a WIP of the bodysuit with zones shortly. I'm still setting those up. Feet yes but not hands. In my experiance tight gloves are often best done right on the skin surface.  No cowl either.

Still need to test it in poser, so I may have to go back and cut the mesh differrently. The first couple pieces for a new figure usually have some false starts.
