I take that back.

Anniebel, You might have an E-mail waiting for you.

That's okay, I'm waiting for a response to a sitemail response I sent well over 24 hrs ago.

This promotion was poorly executed and while inital response was fine, subsequent follow-up has been disappointing.

Okay, Sent a response over 24 hrs ago...

Any updates?

As I was reminded, Daz is supporting Poser 8 and up. They skipped over Poser 7, not a huge deal since 6-7 wasn't that big a change.

More a push to DS, but hey yanno.

Poser 7.

Depending on the Modeler, 87% seems to be the magic number. Lourdes Boot's from Shadowdancer needed to hide the feet. Billy-T's Engineer boots fit at 87% without hiding feet.

I had to scale the Shoes to about 85%-87% and hide the feet the rest of the way in this case.

I bought a couple of Countess/Silver's Merchant resource packs for hair. With the economy the way it is, they help with different colors for Hair styles without having to pick up specialized mat packs. A little bit of time working in the Material Room on P7 and I can use the colors for many of my hair packs.

There are limits, but it helps to learn your tools. I also use Wardrobe Wizard 2 a lot. Again, knowing your tools.

I have been reading the forums looking for tricks to make my favorite Packages go the extra mile with the Generation 4 figures. It's not the perfect process but it works for me. If I find something that Wows me, then I grab it. Or rather I look to see if there is similar items at different price points.

Example is the Windy Wizard Robes. High Quality, but the price tag is more than I can cost justify given my budget. Especially when Platinum Club has Robes available...

Okay, a bit of a comparison Body Styling Morphs by 3dArena, Ultra Head Morphs set 1 by RDNA and Pretty 3d Pretty Base IV Shaders. The outfit is Shadowdancer V4 and the hair is Mitsu for A3. I ran the Pants through Wardrobe Wizard 2, so it's not perfect. The Shirt was scaled down, as well as the boots. I had to hide Body parts. The Hair is a mixture of the v4 fit, the Aikotoon fit and a little scaling. Nose is a little bigger, but the look is pretty good.

It's not a new behavior to 8.

I was experiencing it in 6 and still get it in 7.

I'll have to try that fix.

Quote - Apparently this is caused by the lack of a "figure" block in the pose file - fairly sure this is new behavior in Poser 8, I don't think previous versions cared if this block was present in older versions.
Add:

Quote -
figure
    {
    }

just inside the last brace ("{") in these pose files and it goes away.  I don't think this is particularly DAZ's fault.

That's not confirmed to just Stephanie's Poses. It happens with V3 and V4 as well. Sometimes m4. Just wish I knew what it was to isolate it.

Quote - > Quote - Yes, with those scaling settings it should fit, but some don't after posing S4. Could it be that some poses have scaling settings for shoes in them?

Yeah I see that when you apply one of the DAZ "Stephanie 4" poses, it causes any conformed clothing to become "stuck" in the previous pose.  I haven't figured out exactly what is in the poses that causes this, but to work around it, pick any one conformer and re-conform it to V4 and everything will pop onto the figure.  I don't know what will happen with multiple figures in the scene.  Since it appears to be a problem with the pose files themselves (other poses of mine work fine) I'm looking at them to see if there is a permanent fix to get rid of this problem. 

Moving the V4 figure a little bit and undoing also seems to make the clothing pop onto the figure...

The RDNA Ultra morphs inject with no problem, so you are not limited on Face.

I'm trying to revamp one of my V4 Chars with the new S4 morph, and so far so good.

Doesn't Poser 8 and higher have Wardrobe Wizard as a Feature? If So, inject the S4 morphs into the V4 figure and Analyze.

Works like She-Freak 4.

I would have your friends talk to the Major crime or Internet crimes division of your Local Police Department.

When my Paypal Account was hijacked, I immediately shut everything down and asked the police what can be done. The Officer was the one the referred me to Major Crimes.

Given the push on Cyber-bullying of late, also see what laws can be applied there as well.

The fix is to go into file with a CR Editor and clear the references... PITA that it is.

The Mat pose would add material zones to the figures.

In my case, Monaghan Textures got added to V4. See attached

It was impacting that Render performance.
