hi all,

just to let you know I just published the remaining part III in my tutorials series on Poser Dynamics, aka Hair Room and Cloth Room. Now all five parts on theory are done (for the time being), and one practical Case Study on short hair as well. All have a downloadable PDF for offline reading included. Half a years work, that is.

Following Vintorix early remarks, I called part III "how to get your PhD in Clothing", so be warned. Batteries (asperines) not included. But when you want to know how the Cloth Parameters relate to real world fabrics, and why, this part III might be a place to find out.

All can be found in my Missing Manuals website.

From now on, I will shift my attention to other portions of Poser, to practical case studies on Dynamics (I promissed you some!) and gradually on less high end versions of the Dynamics theory. Only paying customers, a labrador puppy (aka Cable Cutter or Wooly Piranha, 9 weeks old now) and just creating and rendering images / shorts will slow me down.

Comments, suggestions, and everything else that improves our insights are very welcome. Thanks for stopping by.

New to dynamic clothing...Hope there is help...Once an outfit is all done the character does not move with it..

Thanks.  Should prove to be interestimg reading like the other tutes.

very generous, thank you very much! 

...a link to your Missing Manuals site since you seem to have forgotten it :)

cheers

It's in his sig.

Thanks! Looks as though I have some reading to catch up on. :-)

hi all, thanks for adding the "missing link".

I know some people switch off signatures, but I was just so happy the job was done for the moment, and it was about night too (thanks to mrs Puppy my nights are halved anyway). So I forgot, sorry for that.

@vitachick: start reading parts I and II, and before blaming SmithMicro for your frustrations: part IV. Check out parts III and especially V only when you really feel up to it :)
But what do you mean by: ... the char does not move with (the clothes) ... As the trick of Dynamic Clothes is that the clothes move with the char.
Of course we'll help.

Great stuff! Many thanks aRtBee

It's me..Not blaming Smith Micro...Trying to get Ankou gown(Runtime DNA) to fit M4 once again

i pay for every meg of my bandwidth so i have sigs turned off at just about every forum.

people just cant seem to control the urge to post stupidly pointless animated .GIFs that are over a meg each.

@blackhearted: we've got the option to switch sigs off, and so we're using that option for whatever reason. Yours is a very valid one. I just thought of it too late.

@vitachick: gown looks great for M4. Since the site says it's dynamic, I just guess it's not conforming (or: it's a prop, not a figure). In which case you might want to parent it to M4. Then you have to pose M4 into the robe (esp arms) so it does not have poke throughs (as it's not conforming, it does not work the other way around). In cloth room, M4 should NOT take zero-poses when draping: the checkboxes must be off. This is what crosses my mind with this product.

Does this product not have a readme to guide users through the cloth room using it? What exactly are your issues?

thanks art it's useful to me

Satellite uplink to your secret base at the North Pole I take it?

He he... I optimised my current signature banner to about 11 kilobytes, I think... and I was still thinking, is that too much?

Impressive and FREE.  Nice!  Thank you very much, I'm sure a lot of time and effort went into those.  I have it bookmarked, will be very useful to me as these are subjects I was planning on getting into shortly.  Very appreciated!

over 250 hits yesterday, and over 125 PDF downloads on Poser Dynamics in the last month. That's rewarding and inspiring, thank you all.

Good Stuff that's why!!

I've recommended it to some folks in the Marvelous Design forum, who are interested in using their creations inside Poser.  You tutes are quite clearly written and are appreciated!

Thank you.

A bit disapointed for translate in french but we cope ;)

You're doing a great job with these tutorials. The amount of work you've put into it is very evident. I need to learn about dynamics in Poser, and your site is where I'll start.

Excellent work and a rollmodel for all to come. I hope some people from Daz see this! ;) And I who never though it would come to anything, I stand ashamed!

@rosemaryr: yeah I saw that, thanks a lot

@anthanasius: it's all about priorities. First I'll need my retirement, then I'll do the video tuts, then I'll do French and German and Japanese as these are legit Poser versions. So that will make late 2037 or so.

@vintorix: nothing to be ashamed of, it's you and people like you who drive me foreward, exactly to fill that gap you describe so well in your signature
(for blackhearted, it reads: "It is more things between complete dummies and advanced experts Horatio, than you ever dreamed of.")

all the best, I'll keep you posted.

Thank you so very much for the manuals, aRtBee!  I've been struggling with dynamics since I got PP2012 & this really explains a lot.  Wonderful! Now if I can only apply them to the outfit I'm doing now, I'll be happier than a pig in a poke.  :)

Wasn't aware of this resource and my knowledge of dynamics in poser is lacking, it's an area that I've been wanting to explore. Thank you, aRtBee!

Good stuff!

thank you alot for this , very useful indeed!!:)

thankyou,i shall be swatting up/learning dynamics during my spare moments from my phone, so glad its a pdf so i can view at my leisure
