Yikes! You need to know forumulas to use these programs?! I can't do math that has letters in it. I'm strictly a math using numbers girl :)

I saw on one of those sites letters and numbers with symbols (* ^).... what kind of math is that?

WOW! Thank you :) I just went and browsed your site. Stunning work! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

hehe. Cute. That gave me visions of when my cat jumped into the toilet when she was a kitten, LOL

rreynolds, apparently the shape of the head did change, but what the difference is is that others applied a texture to their's and I didn't. I thought the Yamato file was a complete character addon, but it turns out it's just the face.

Ahhhhh!!! Ok, I didn't know you could apply anything more. I thought that the Yamato file was like the usual character addon files. feels stupid Now that I know, I'll go and try it. Thank you :)

Thank you :) edogoyomi.page.ne.jp is a great site. I'll poke around there after I get a few hours of sleep. The ExpandingWave.com site is spectacular! Too pricey for me though, but the quality of work looks excellent. I was mesmerized by the water and fire section. Awesome creations. I haven't had a chance to look at the other 2 sites, but have bookmarked them for later today. I'm sleepy and have a date with my pillow :)

I'm heading to bed for a few hours and I'll check out your site a bit later today. Thanks again for your help :)

Quote - Tutorials are great but sometimes they really do not address specific questions that I have. Or I am too confused to realize they are--either way, sometimes I just need a step-by-step explanation in another way. (I do want to mention that I posted here as a last resort--I'd been trying to figure the answers out myself for a long time before I posted, both with the help of many of the same tutorials recommended here and manuals and just playing around and exploring. And I still didn't get it. I don't know--them's the breaks.)

I'm a slow learner when it comes to Poser too :). I've had the program for about a year. I would get so frustrated trying to get clothes from the library on to the figure but just couldn't do it. It wasn't that they wouldn't fit, it was that the manual had given wrong instructions on how to go about it (single check mark vs. double), and my figure kept disappearing. I think I reinstalled Poser six times before I finally decided to stick with it or die trying, last September. I was so confused and frustrated about everything: - a manual that isn't new user friendly; leaps around all over the place; and is more a lesson on how to build the program than it is about how to actually use it; - items such as hair found in several places; - textures located under poses; - a face room that has apparently no known use if using Vicky 3; - some things need conforming, others won't let you; - how to undo mistakes (turns out you can only undo 1); - HUGE long lists of folders in the library, and not being able to find anything! My head was swimming and I was so stressed and overwhelmed that I was frustrated to tears. I felt that I wasn't learning anything. When I learn, I like it to be organized, but with Poser it's been chaotic and disorganized. I also need "step by step" for some things; and learning programs is one of those things. I'm not a stupid person, but Poser makes me feel like a total idiot most of the time. I'm rather proud and hate looking dumb, but I finally swallowed my pride and begged for help. A poster from Daz took me under his wing and let me into his home via ICQ and walked me through doing several things and with his help I made my first clothed figure and rendered it :) I'm still working on the poser terminology too, hehe

I can't get the face file to apply to V3. I would like to see what the face is supposed to look like, can someone point which file above has Yamato's face file? They all look different like people used different faces.

I have V3 and the head and body morphs. I load V3, make sure it says "figure/head", go to "expressions", apply Yamato's face file... and zip. The face still remains default V3. I tried applying: Hair, band, .obj morph and then the face, but that didn't work either. I also tried going to !V3 Expression INJ, first, but for some reason I can't get the face expressions there to apply either. But I can apply other character addons without a problem. So I'm stumped.

I went back and tried it. I finally got the headband out of the hair, but still can't get the face to change. It remains the default Vicky 3 and messes up my dial parameters to give hundreds of blank morph dials. I have the face in "Expressions", and the .pz2 files in the very root of the library along with the !V3 folders from Daz. So I don't know what is wrong. Are you supposed to inject V3 head morphs first? goes off to run dial cleaner

I put my Wonder Woman render in my gallery. I figure people will be more forgiving of bad renders because this encouraged everyone to participate :) It was a ton of fun. I couldn't get a couple things to work (face won't change from standard V3 or .obj file for the headband) though.

Quote - But the hair, when you load a morph target, you have to "apply" it too. Once it is loaded, you go to parameter dials and move the dial besides the name you assigned to the MT to 1.

Ahhh, ok. I didn't know that. When I found the file, there was a name called "shape 1". I just left it and clicked "ok" and that was it. I didn't go to dial parameters and change anything. I did notice that the load morph object window popped up at the end when I was trying to close Poser and totally seized up my computer (I had to turn the computer off). I don't know if it was something I had done wrong with the file or not. That was the first time I ever used that load morph object feature.
