Quote - That's cool.  I'm glad those of you with the latest toy are getting an update.  For those of us still working with, say, Poser 7 how do we find out if OURS is the most current version?  For some reason my P7 has no Materials tab where the other general file tabs are located on the right side of the screen.

IIRC, the materials tab only shows up when you're in the materials room in Poser 7.

Im not sure if this is a bug with SR3, in the cloth room i add a square prop (the hi res one) and set the constrained group to one edge in the idea that this edge will stay where it is(like a sheet hanging on a line). but on running the cloth room the whole square drops to the floor. i have also inverted my selection and still it ignores my constrained group. am i doing this wrong? or is this a bug...

I think you must have things constrained to a figure. Parent the prop to a figure (even if it's not touching) and see if that helps with the constraining issue?

thanx hana will give it a try tomorow,i have tried parenting to another prop but no joy either.dont know how im gonna get a sheets on a washing line without a figure there

Thanks, Deecey.  I couldn't find it when I looked a while back.  Downloading as we "speak."

My download came from an Amazon fullfilment site. Anyone else notice that?

Yes you're doing it wrong. First step - read the manual.

Quote - Constrained vertices “stick” to corresponding polygon faces of the underlying figure and are useful for cloth areas that have to follow the movement of the underlying body part.

Quote - Choreographed vertices can follow keyframed movement or be excluded from the cloth simulation.

Constrained is the wrong tool for what you're doing. Choreographed vertices go where you put them, nowhere else.

aside from reverse deformation, as well as creating full body morph ERC setups for you, one of the major benefits of PoserMorphLoader was that it corrected all of the horrific rounding errors introduced by Poser when exporting/importing -- rounding errors that would #%@$ up your morphs and symmetry.

i am very happy to hear about GoZ, but if Poser rounding errors are still present when using it then it is absolutely useless to me.

Quote - I'm hoping to see some real teen characters in the MP soon and not just young V4 heads with 30 yr old female bodies.  This would be really neat for my comic.

Love esther

Well she;s not for V4 but if you look at Real Candy 

http://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/realcandy/91297

used NEXT to V4 she makes a reasonable teen female.

Just been playing with the single axis scaling and the morph brush. Both seem to work beautifully.

I'm not sure how it was done, but the morph brush seems to have much better selectivity and control. I'm now able to get into places where the brush would be unpredictable before and do very subtle things. 

Truly amazing!

Also, not sure what was done (if anything) to the render engine, but at least subjectively, things look even more "real" when using SSS and IDL. Anyone else seeing any changes?

Thanks, I was already there. Seeing their web site didn't change anything for me. I gave my trust to SmithMicro because they earned it, those other guys...I'll wait and see. Personal information isn't trivial. Just wait until some day if your phone number gets into the wrong hands and you start getting 60 marketing phone calls a day then you'll understand.

i don't wanna give fastspring my personal info.

I'm not griping at you for posting the issue here, however... Who you give your personal information to is an issue between you and Smith Micro. Perhaps if you contact them directly you could resolve the issue.

I upgraded, canceled and upgraded again to P9 a while back...so that I could take advantage of a special offer.  It has always confused the automated system for my account.

It's all good, SM Chat support got it resolved in < 3 minutes.  All good.

Since the SR3 is free and you don't need to give any payment info, you don't need to give accurate info for the rest. At least, other than my name (which I did give), I didn't bother with a real address or phone number. Unless it's necessary to verify CC's, I never do.

Well GoZ works nice!!!

Had to have a quick look in the manual to see how to set it up, but it was easy to follow!!

All the best.

Thanks! Tried to explain it as best I could.  8-)  And also while jumping up and down on my chair in excitement and screaming "Yeah, baby!"

I literally wrote an email to all the guys in engineering and told them I was going to kiss every one of them (LOL)

Well it took me about 2 minutes to do the bit on where to point Zbrush to Poser.

So easy!!!!!!!

All the best.

I keep getting that as well but it's just a long name with no file suffix on the ensand when I go to save it, nothing happens can anyone help?  

Ok, just tried again. This time got a SmithMicro page saying that Poser sr3 was not available. I think I should get suppost. Remember the good old days when you could just download updates from your account page? :)  ...

GRRR! And now the support link that they gave in the email is down. Updating the website etc just before a big software update, probably not a great idea. Will wait till tomorrow and try again.

Playing with Michelle, took into Zbrush with GoZ, had a play and dropped back into Poser, again with GoZ!!!

All the best.

If you press the X key in Zbrush before you use your brush you will turn on symmetrical mode and it will make symmetrical morphs. You'll only need to morph one side and the other will follow. Press x again to turn it off.

Thanks!!! One quick question, if someone doesn't have ZBrush4 etc. would it work with Sculptris?

Just wondering.

All the best.

I don't have Sculptris, so I can't verify ... But a quick search seems to indicate that ZBrush is needed.

I don't think it will work. GoZ connects apps to ZBrush not to other GoZ apps as far as I'm aware. So Sculptris to ZBrush and ZBrush to Poser but Sculptris to Poser probably won't work any more than say...Sculptris to modo via GoZ or modo to Max via GoZ.

Yup ZBrush is required for GoZ... I was humming and hawing about the expense of ZBrush... then just bit the bullet and got it a few months ago when thinkcoop made the announcement about GoZ being added...

...SR3 now installed and the GoZ integration is totally awesome!

Plus the additional instructions in the Poser Pro manual regarding using it are pretty damn clear and easy to follow too

I think this will accelerate my personal ZBrush learning curve exponentially...

...couldn't use ColorCurvature's PoserMorphLoader before, unfortunately, as I'm on a mac...

Show us your morphs!

Thanks folks, the reason I asked was when I hit trhe GoZ button in Zbrush it popped up a looking for Sculprtis screen, like the one for Poser!! Lol.

I just clicked on the Not Installed bit and it now goes straight to Poser.

All the best.

I could never get past the almost Asian eye folds she's got ;). Hard to get rid of em. Don't have Zbrush tho. Might make it easier. She doesn't really have an upper eyelid :P

It's doable, just takes time. I'll take a stab at it later.

I have Zbrush 4R4 (not use Zbrush often but have it) and Poser pro 2012 sr3.Now i see where to import-export Goz file

But now how to put some  morph on face (for example) in Zbrush and import this morph in Poser after and put on the character face .Some tutorial around ???

And another thing :see the difference in poserStarup.py in poserscripts folder If you compare to the last one you will see some reference to loading addons which was not there before

Reality 3 coming to Poser???

You just press the GoZ button in ZBrush and switch back to Poser. The morph will be there readyt tp be named.

It is all explained in the manual

Ok...I orderded the update about 4 hours ago. The "fastspring.com" website says this on the conformation page:

"Thank you for placing your order. We appreciate your business.

Your order is processing and you can expect to receive a receipt and delivery information via email within the next several minutes.

Note about SPAM filters: We are sending important information to you via email. If you haven't received an email regarding your order within 30 minutes, please carefully check any SPAM folders and filters to see if the message has been blocked."

As I said, it's been about 4 hours and still no email. Checked my spam...not there either.

I wonder if they are using the email notices to slow down how many people are downloading the program at any particular time?

Getting annoyed mainly because there is no information as to what to do if an email doesn't show up!

The instructions for GoZ are on pages 713-723 of the manual.  Depending on whether you want to morph the entire figure, or a single body part, you choose Figure > Export Figure Mesh to GoZ, or Object > Export Object Mesh to GoZ.

If you use that method, you'll be prompted to enter a name for the morph when you GoZ it back into Poser.

It's super easy, and super fast.

Yes ... Reality 3 is coming to Poser! 8-)

To take the morph back to Poser:-

Look in the Tool section on the right hand side of the screen:-

The one with Load Tool, Save As etc.

Look down the box and you will see a GoZ button on the line where it says:-

All  Visible

Click on that and you will be taken back to Poser and you can then give it a name before it loads onto your figure.

All the best.

I have Comcast, and I have had a problem with spam not showing up in my SPAM folder at all, it's like it disappears into the ether somewhere. There are cases where I have to contact software companies for updates directly to set up another method, or to request that they send the email to an alternate email address.

I would contact SM with your order number, and let them know you haven't received it yet. You might be suffering a similar problem.

How precise is the goz when morphing extreme poses?

@Deecey:

Alyson 2 doesn't seem to be symmetrical in the head part, at least I haven't succeeded in using symmetry in Modo. Does symmetry work in ZBrush or did you morph the left and right side separately?

Quote - @Deecey:

Used Symmetry in ZBrush.

Modo is VERY VERY VERY VERY picky about symmetry. Because of that it's the app that I use to make sure that any content that I make is symmetrical. I played with a few apps, actually, and Modo is the only one that really complained.

ZBrush is more lenient and yes, symmetry does work in it.

I'm guessing that the GoZ isn't in 9, only in 2012?

Thank you Deecey, that sounds great. Might make an investment ... :)

Yes, GoZ is PP2012 only
