Well it seems like a good idea, but it also seems like there are potential trouble spots in the installation process. I would use it to as a boot drive and I'm not sure if putting the poser program or runtime is best, my runtimes are big.

Thanks for all the challenging feedback. If I was getting a new computer I would defintitely get one. I see there a lot of things to find out.

Are you kidding...I live for speed. :)

Of course it's all relative, but I recently got my wife a new computer, and though it's not the fastest, it's so much faster for everyday tasks than the 4 or 5 year old one that it's a pleasure to use. She is very excited and I like it too. But you're right it's only seconds I'm talking about here but if a program runs "snappier" it's more fun to use.  Seems like people are always going on about render times, so I'd thought I'd join in :)))

Mike

OK, thanks. Really easier than I thought. I opened it in photoshop (duh) and there it was.

Mike

Lowpoly, could you be a little more specific on how to do this? I found the entry but wasn't sure what to add to change the color. Whats the exact way to change from gray to red.

Thanks,

Mike

Finally got it to all work except for the duplicate formulas message when I start Daz Studio. To save a clothing file, as said elsewhere, you go to save as, support asset/figure, name the file and then specify a specific type of clothes...whew! Then create poser companion file. Then find where you put it. Yikes.

So I can now load Genesis, load the shirt I saved and autofitted, conform and Presto almost done. Make a change to genesis morphs and then go to dson support and transfer morphs with genesis selected. Each time you change a morph you need to transfer the morphs, but only one time for each... it remembers which you add/modified.

So can I then add many morphs and then save the shirt again. Will it remember all the morphs I added? hmmm, I'll have to try it.

I really just wanted to prove I counld do it. It is cool that there is almost no poke through and it takes all poses and morphs. It's also great that Genesis takes all V4 materials.

Well the next step is to convert figure morphs from V4 to genesis. I'll leave taht for another day.

I have to say that genesis bends really well, much better than V4. I haven't compared it to V4 WM yet. I don't mind the limits...yet.

Mike

Yes my daz studio also says there is a duplicate file which I assume is Genesis. I thought it would be a clean slate. Most things work when importing into Poser, except the duf i created for the shirt i saved from Daz Studio.I'm going to install some other content and see if that works.

Maybe my version is old but I just downloaded it this week. hmmm

Let me check my version, I did click on the Tab. I just downloaded 4.5 , i'll check the version.

Daz studio did remember my settings from a previous install which suprised and troubled me.

I right click on the content library and i don't see the option, Create Poser Companion Files…” .

How do I enable this option. I installed Daz studio 4.5 after I loaded the DSON importer to Poser, but I did reinstall it.

I tried Vestmans technique  to load clothing for genesis and I'm sort of lost. I saved a shirt as a scene and a subscene in Daz studio. It did conform the V4 clothing and save the shirt as a duf.  The daz folder structure is so convoluted and redundant I'm not sure where to save it, but i tired  mylibraryscenes then mylibraryruntimelibrariesscene and it doesn't show up in the Poser library.

Anyway, in poser. the shirt does not show up in the scene library or anywhere else. I tried moving the duf to mylibraryruntimelibrariesfigures and that didn't work either.

How does one retrieve the shirt i conformed in Daz studio to load into poser?

Mike

OK, thanks a lot. That's just what I needed.

Mike

Great idea but I have to figure out how to do that. Can I copy the nodes and  then use them as a special effect?

OK i missed that post. I also wouldn't use it that much, but since the option is in there, I thought there should at least be a choice.

BTW, I use an old skin shader in Poser 8 to create freckles, but if I use ezskin in Poser 9 it wipes out the freckles. Anyway around this?

Mike

You would do better by overclocking your processor by tweaking your bios. Info is all over the net about how to accomplish this.

Skin realism kit has a nice option to create freckles, which I think is not present in ezskin

Mike

ezskin 1.7(?) creates one scatter group for the inner mouth parts and another for the rest of the skin. This eliminates the dreaded blue tinge around the mouth. I think it's a great advance along with the new scatter groups in SR2.

This is his page http://snarlygribbly.org/3d/forum , but i just got it in this forum at the end of the thread about ezskin.
