Progressing well already. Fixed a number of simple mistakes in both Poser and DAZ Studio versions. Both versions of the M4 Journeyer Scout katana (the 'In Sheath' and 'In Hand' versions need different parameters) seem to be working fine with my Poser development version (testing in Poser 6 at present), but the 'In Hand' version is ending up wrongly positioned in the DAZ Studio version. I think I know why, but getting to the bottom of it is taking a bit of time.

Anyway, here's a Poser 6 render of Sixus1's Dwarvez and the original Behemoth, plus Chris Schell's Anime Girl Kristen each holding an 'In Sheath' and 'In Hand' M4 Journeyer Scout katana.

I simply loaded the six katanas, and then selected a katana and a figure and ran my dev script. It worked beautifully. So time for another backup of the Poser version, and a bit more digging in the DAZ Studio version.

For anybody who's interested here are the two datalines. The numeric parameters are in the order yRot, xRot, zRot, xTran, yTran, zTran with rotations in degrees and translations in Poser units. They're the values I got from the prop after manually positioning in a dummy hand proxy in accordance with the still-rather-tedious procedure in the documentation. And I'll never have to do it again for the Journeyer Scout katana!

The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
