However AlfaseeD is not happy with the quality of this product so they have not released it themselves.

They do not want to be emailed about problems with this product.

They did all the weightmaps themselves and did not use daz data in product.

It's a pose injection and of course you need the original V4 to make it work.

Anyway this V4 weightmapped version, takes hair and clothes, and also the body parts scale much better than the non-weight mapped orignial V4.

And of course there are no more annoying magnets all over the place.

There are no render restrictions.

Have fun.

 Oh yes, forgot to mention,  no funny round elbows on this one.

     Thanks to AlfaSeeD for releasing it, and to you, Esther, for hosting & posting.

Wow!

Talk about a major improvement! At first testing, it appears to preform better than the V4WM we've had for a year or so, and is much easier to use!

Kudos to all concerned!

Thank you, and Alfaseed.

Cool! Thanks Esther and Alfaseed!

Cool, thanks Esther and Alfaseed! :)

Thank you Alfaseed !!!!!!

Thanks! I've never actually bothered to use a weight mapped V4 (although I do have the other version), but you never know when it might come in handy :)

It is a one click solution - Select your figure (with or without your morphs applied) and do the INJ pose. Easy enough to try out

Only a question:

Does It only works in P Pro 2014?

P9 user here...

It should work in P9 as well since it only adds the weightmaps. The script driving the inject does not use any P10 specific code as far as I know.

I have not tried it though

Just give it a try and let us know

Nice surprise! Thanks for this.

Playing around with clothes fitting, some shoes show polethrough at the heel and lower instep.  This can be fixed by setting the Toe_scaleZ of the shoe's foot actor to 0.97 in the Joint Editor...

Can this rig be modified or distributed?

It is free for all to use.

Modification - not sure about distribution of the modiciations.

If AlfaSeeD wants to update it and fix errors, it would be better if there is only one version available. Send me a PM and we can discuss this

Thank you for the headsup!

And if someone would create a M4WM there would be a very renderer in front of this screen sigh

No progress has been on a M4WM just yet, I afraid.

Looks pretty good

For a full render see my gallery

Many thanks to Esther and AlfsSeed for being involved in this wonderful product. Cheers

Is the AlfaseeD V4 weightmaped figure still available

The site has been displaying a message that the download has been deactivated for 48 hours since the weekend for me

ditto here...

Site says it should be back for download in a week. Maybe they are working on a new version? Hope so, it looks really good.

When does the week start and ends ?

At one time Aerysoul only released there morph might have been called Alice ?
from time to time for a limmited time.

Pershaps I shouldn't have asked and it would have stayed at 48 hours lol

Alice was a limited time annual event; should not be compared to the WMV4 release which is a freebie.

Alice is a freebie now (at least her body morph is)

The full character is now at RDNA...

Esther & Wim, will you be putting her up again soon? :)

Quote - While she's being revised, I hope people don't mind a small suggestion: Front: V4 default. Middle: V4-WM/AlfaSeed Back: V4-LOD 17.000 polygon LowResolution (Weightmapped by me. Original V4 joint centers. No JCMs, no smoothing mags, no helper bones. Subdivided once) IMO the butt could use a little more bulge-map "compression" and there is also an unsightly lump on the inner thighs. The thigh/hip fold could be smoother, too. While I happily admit it's easier weightmapping a low res LOD mesh, I think the changes I suggest wouldn't be too hard to make to the high res V4, too. And, yes, I know it's an extreme pose, but that's when you see rigging problems the most. ;-)

Well, to be fair, you put most real life women in that pose and something may snap.

The "fin butt" I noted in my render of the bodysuit is a result of the thigh side-to-side bend.  I've stopped playing with the rigging since another version appears to be in the works.

Give me a few rum and cokes and I bet I could do it

Damn, now I'm going to be wondering about that all night!

Waiting patiently for the link to go back live....it's tough. LOL She looks as tho she bends really nice :).

Laurie

Can't wait! She looks fantastic

Did the week get extended or was she withdrawn??

I've heard nothing from daz which I assume means all okay, and I messaged them again on their help forum to see what they thought but they have not answered me.  So I only have had one reply for them saying they were looking into it, and you're right we're getting on for tw weeks now.

she does scale very nicely, even the hip and the z axis for chest say, arm length, etc  

? didn't realise daz were involved.

If the AS weight mapped figure doesn't use any daz ip - ie daz joint info etc - then wouldn't it have been covered by the same Daz announcement that they issued when the last weight mapped V4 was made?

watching the space for download availability

cheers

DAZ has revised thier EULA since the Poser Place V4WM was released.  It is now more liberal about redistribution of derivatives, so long as a purchased DAZ product is required to use them...

Yes, i see nothing in the EULA that says the wmV4 is wrong.  I never thought daz would take so long to reply though.

Sorry you all have to wait.  Anyone who has it already can of course use it, as it is just your own V4 that you own anyway.

DAZ likely has better things to do.  If it is a weight pose injection, or via Poser Place script there is obviously no issue, nor is there if it is distrubuted at an encoded cr2, as Joe Public and Shuckky did. Arduino has been distributing his V4 products as plain cr2s...
