It bends very, very, VERY good in Poser. Best feet, knee and thigh rigging I've ever seen.
But I can't start working on it without a way to change the proportions.
I don't mind hacking the cr2 or going through Studio 4.5 if necessary. But I do need the same full control over Genesis that I have over all my other meshes.
I agree. I'd like to switch to using Genesis in Poser rather than DS, but I need to be able to single-scale various body parts to change the length of the legs, the width of the shoudlers etc.
But I seem to be onto something ....
Haven't quite got to the bottom of this yet, but ... with Genesis loaded, a bodypart selected and the joint editor panel open there's a button on the panewl marked Scale Zones. Clicking this allows to select other parts whose scaling should be affected by the scaling of that body part, and smooX etc joint parameters appear where there weren't any. Just a few selection clicks in the collars to affect the shldrs fixed the dislocation of the arms at the collar/shldr interface on bending the arms down with Shoulders Wide (actually just xscale of the collars) applied.
It looks like the collar/chest abdomen discontinuity with Shoulders Wide applied will actually need the smooX and SmooY parameters adjuiting after clicking for them to be added ... but it's doable.
Bottom line would appear to be:
Yes, the user can fix the Genesis in Poser so all the (many) proportion dials wil work.
But the root problem appears to be that the DSON importer is not importing/creating the smoothscaliung joint parameters. One would hope DAZ could do something about that in a timely fashion.
