Quote - > Quote - > Quote - My last idea was for a fellow by the handle of PhilC on shareCG. He's made some great stuff in/for Daz and supposedly has tuts there as well., rigging and modeling. I haven't been to check it just yet, but if it's bs, my apologies up front

I'll go check it out ASAP. I'll let you know what I find. I'm sure there others of us new users out there who want this kind of information. As soon as I find it I'll be sure to post its whereabouts here so others can find it as well.

Thanks for this.

I went to ShareCG and on the Tutorials start page I put in a search for PhilC. No results were found. Even so, I did find a few PDF files dealing with rigging in DAZ Studio 3 and 4. I downloaded them and in a few minutes I plan to open them and see how comprehensive they are. If they are what I am looking for, A BIG HURRAY! If not, my search will continue. Either way, I'll let you all know what the verdict is.

(Yep! These PDFs are about to be on trial; and I'm the Judge, Jury, Prosecutor, and Executioner!) ;)

  The verdict is in. While I'm sure many of you will be able to follow these PDF Tutorials from Catherine3678a, I have to say that using texting lingo in such a document is presumptive at best. This person uses acronyms to convey certain things in the document; and as someone who does not understand texting language, I am at a loss for what she is talking about. Okay, so some of you out there are probably thinking I should learn the lingo. Well that's not going to happen. I have no desire to learn a language that is at best vague in its meanings. A string of letters that do not make a word in most cases could represent more than one thing, and knowing which is meant is something I do not care to contemplate.

Yes, the PDFs are free, but when you make a document that is meant to teach something, whether it is free or for sale, it needs to be in a language that can be understood by all who wish to learn from it. I speak and uderstand the English language quite well, and when I look for a teaching document to learn from, I look for it in English. So when I find one, and it has things in it that are clearly not English as it is meant to be, (such as texting lingo), I am likely to trash it, since it is utterly useless to me. Such documents need to be understandable to all who speak the main language therein. This is professionalism, which should be practiced by those who make such documents. When I look for a document to teach me something, I want it to be done professionally. I don't want to have to go looking for another one to teach me how to understand the language in the first one.

So as I have already indicated, I am passing judgement upon these PDF documents, and the verdict is:

Guilty of Unprofessionalism!

Sentence:

To the Waste Bin and then EMPTY IT OUT!

Sorry folks for that rant. As it is for now, my search continues.
