Cliff I appreciate the extensive time you spent and posted the results on the old forum trying to get this to work. I keep hoping there will be a way to export a subdivided Genesis from DS-but it the meantime I think your tut will help a lot of people.
Quote - Many thanks to LaurieA for starting this thread, and to basicwiz for cleaning it up before I saw it.
A couple of updates!
The intro discount was mistakenly set to 30% for just a few days - that has now been corrected, it whould be 40% now for about a week before dropping to 30% for the remainder of the intro period.
This is indeed only a tutorial and a couple of scripts. However, Genesis shouldn't need the scripts running again after reposing unless the joint centers are change (e.g. if you change from "Freak 4" to "The girl 4" shapes). If all you're doing is posing the figure then there should be no reason to re-run the scripts.
This tut was written in part due to frustration in seeing no update to the .CR2 exporter for a while, ANd no update to the existing documentation which left some users floundering. There were far too many comments about Poser not being able to use Genesis, about limitations in Poser that I don't beleive exist, and requests for a tutorial on how to use the current - not original - .CR2 exporter. So it's half frustration at the speed of software development, half frustration at the lack of proper documentation, half an attempt to sort out the myths of what Poser can and can not do, and half an attempt for me to make some money out of the time I put into tutorials (this is my first pay-for tutorial. It's not meant to signify the end of my forum tutorials, but really - I'd like the forum to work better first!). The reasons for creating it are therefore very, very similar to the reasons I created the Figure Setup Tools tutorial on-forum. but with the benefit that I might get something back :)
I've also started a render competition - I'd like us to be able to show DAZ exactly why they should be supporting us Poser users. I WANT them and Smith Micro to actively see Poser users and Genesis users as not being different camps, but just... us. I'm not sure if a linky is permitted, so I'll leave it for now - don't want too much self-promotion!
Cheers,
Cliff
