Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 23 7:38 pm)
I got so many errors in the mat files, because the program was looking for .bum files and everything was a .jpg, that it kept crashing Poser. When I tried to open the dragon again after a crash, the obj file was always corrupted and I had to keep removing it and reinstalling it. Eventually, before loading any mat files, I went through all the model, loading the jpgs for bump files so that the program made the necessary .bum files. Now the dragon and the materials all load with no problems. I did not notice dragon poses. I must have missed something. Back to Daz3d.
This is nuts! For the longest time, there was only the plain old DAZ dragon, and (correct me if I'm wrong) Haukusai's (or maybe its Anton's?) Wyvern. Now, there's to many of them! Im a dragon fanatic! You modelers are going to drive me to the poor house! (On the other hand, Im thrilled!) Keep up the good work! ^__^ ~DM
The MilDragon Matfiles are divided into two folders: P4 is for Poser 4 (which requires Bum files) and PP is for Poser ProPack (which needs only the JPG). If you have Poser4 you have to convert the bumfiles yourself before you apply any Matpose - DAZ only provides them in JPG fileformat.

It HAS poses: 28 Poses * 16 Map (MAT) Poses * 9 Visibility (VIS/MOR) Poses * 3 Display (DISP) Poses But these are poses to change the textures or to make parts visible/invisible. No poses to make the Dragon sit, fly etc. Guess that's in the freebies this week.

Light dawns! Thank you Putomaus. Sometimes I don't think Daz and I speak the same language. To me poses are presets which make it sit, stand, wave its claws about and so on. I don't call different textures poses. I am not at all sure why Daz have started this rather strange line either. It seems to have started with the gorilla - putting the texture maps in with the poses, but at least we got real poses too. Let's hope you are right and the real dragon poses are this week's freebies.
Y'know, on occasion I've had this urge to glue ping-pong balls to my body and run around in front of a motion-capture camera. But I always lie down and take a nap until it passes.
I've still got that animated pose I created for my first Millennium Dragon animation. If anyone wants it, I can clean it up a bit and put it in Free Stuff with everyone else's.
Kaibach: I think your falling about a dozen dragon short! Anton alone has: Wingless Dragon, Dragon V1 & V2 Story Book Dragon Skeleton Dragon then there's Debra's Baby Dragon, PhilC's Dragon, the Wyvern(no longer available), Ultimate Dragon, DAZ Dragon, Mil Dragon......let's see, what else am I missing??
I'd post the complete list for you, igohigh, but since it's already been done (with illustrations) ....
The Almost-Complete Poser Dragons Roll-Call Thread
The only creatures missing from the visual record are the Imagination Works dragon and DAZ's new Millennium Dragon, although one or two others are currently in development.
DAZ packages the JPEGs because Poser can convert them to BUM format, Pro Pack can use them directly, and we can edit the JPEGs in a paint program. BUM files don't compress as well as JPEGs, plus they aren't really suitable for editing due to the conversion process. If DAZ included the BUMs in the package, the filesize would double, and people on dialup would be unhappy with the increased download times; despite the increasing presence of broadband, most Internet users are still on dialup. If DAZ distributed the BUMs alone, we couldn't easily modify them.

Out of cuiosity I downloaded all the different dragon poses and 3 BVH files from the free section and found all of them to be functional with the exception of the land dragon poses (they do nothing). Even though the BVH files give a lot of error when loading, when done, they seem to work pretty well.
