wow .. and here I thought I was talking to myself
on the morph install issues - make sure you have run the initialisition ( the.bat file) ANY time you install ERC morphs. This unpacks the data files into the places that the cr2 looks for.
Also - NEVER save over your base m4 figure. The michael 4 base as shipped from DAZ contains a whole pile of programming calls that load up the data from the !DAZ folder to create the channels and the morphs every time Mike is loaded. If you save over your m4 base, you lsoe all this and your m4 will never be updated.
To use these morphs load your m4, and then inject the morphs from the pose folder. Materials will be in the materials folder or the pose folder, often both.
One of the things I did while sorting characters was to convert all the pz2 format character injectors into mc6. This means all my characters are finally in one folder, and no more hopping around betwen Poses and Materials looking for things. The INJ poses still work just fine as poser just follows the directions in the file and doens't much care whats on the tin.
( to convert a pz2 to mc6 you must change the suffix of the file from yourfile.pz2 to yourfile.mc6, and edit one line inside the file from 'figure' to 'mtlcollection', its right at the top. And of course switch things the other way to convert to pz2)
I'm sure most people following this thread know all that already - but its good to have it written out someplace for the very lost and new :)
Vaskania - I actually haven't gone raiding v4's folders yet. But yes, I do intend to copy over Equinox and Zere abnd ummmm darn. that other one for v4 male. Jinn
I'll also be stealing some clothing from david, hiro and m3 when I get aorund to it. And possibly Genesis now that I have DS working again.
On Freak 4 issues - one of the things in my Buy or Make list is a fix pz2 to fix mikes arms as a one click solution. This has always been an issue when making clothing fit freak 4 in DS, so most vendors have it fixed in clothing already. I'll definately put that one up as a freebie once I've made it.
Gremalkyn - oh thank you. still will need the classic tarzan animal skin buttflap but those look very handy. I do like that celtic one. Interesting design.
No new renders today I'm afraid .. I've been busily working getting some things done. I have a pile of things to send in here at Rendo including a 4 piece M4 Italian Rennaisance set.
While I'm at it .. I've started adding freebie links to a pinterest board. I know, but its the easiest way to keep a pile of links together.
