sorry you are banned Stan. Yes I agree smoke and mirrors. !

 

David! Thanks for that advise on the cloth sims! The biggest problem I have is getting Poser and Carrara to talk as far as obj sizes.

My typical workflow would be  (if it was practical)

1. set up scene in Carrara,

2. suddenly decide I would like a draped cloth on a character that looks more realistic with groovy folds etc,

3. hit a magic button that opens scene in poser, run cloth sim, then open it in Carrara

at the moment my workflow is

setup scene in carrara, export an object from the eg k4 figure, with morphs and skinning baked on, bring it intio poser, do the draping, then bring the draped cloth into carrara and then try to get it to fit to the figure like it did in poser as it did on the obj in Poser.

Not worth the trouble!

Poser's new morph tools atre great for making folds in fabric though.

I probably should just make fold morphs for conformed clothing and save them  as new figures  in  the poser library.

At the moment I am trying to get a route for getting Genesis clothes  into Poser so I can use the fitting room to fit them to v4 k4 etc. I haven't really mucked around with dison stuff, havenm't had time.

Also via xdresser. Xdresser site says I have to load them up in Daz studio and use a plug in to export a cr2 etc. Pity carrara 8.5 doesnt export a cr2 file......

 

As I said great news about your project.!

I'm nearlty at the end of another wordless book. 30 pages, about 150 illustrations, Hopefully my agent will sell the first one soon!
