DAZ has a Python utility called MKParticles that will create an array of specified objects in Poser. Bought it, tried it, and it works!

Could Python change the font on the Poser4 dials to something less italic?

Thanks. I'll give these a try.

"...This (picture)was made for illustrating body mass indices..." MungoPark, how / where can I learn more about this?

To ladynimue - I was not in the least offended by your question nor by any of the ensuing comments. All is grist for the mill, as it were. I enjoy "realistic" renderings for my own public production and I was interested in getting it right. It would be the same as: "How do I get the terrier to be the right size, next to that table and both to that chair - even when I turn the camera?" I realized there had to be some sort of measurement scheme reflective of the real world and wondered if anyone knew where it was. "There has to be!!!!" BTW: I don't offend easily. My being creativite is me taking chances, learning all I can and moving on to the next project. And sometimes going back to the nasty review on the artists' page to see if I can make a nice picture out of it. Ideas are everywhere. Wince and you might miss one.

"...I've been an artist for a long time now, and as I've gotten older and much more mature, I realize I haven't a clue what art is - but I sure do know what I like!" "Criticism only matters to me when I can't grab a good creative idea from it." "The purpose of Art is to provoke a response."

What if you exported the hair objects as obj files and selected both pieces when Poser presents the option in the dialogue box - deselecting Universe, etc. Then opened the new hair object in uvmapper and created a single template for the two now one hair props...?

Exactly right, xil! The idea would be to dial in or morph in a real world chest-waist-hip-cup size measurement in the proper proportion without having to rely on "Looks good to me."

I have a tendency to over do it a little in certain areas, and then the character only appears good from the main cam and zeroed out.

I'm surprised DAZ hasn't listed a corresponding, real world / body inch measurement chart somewhere in their Arcana - along with the breast dial settings at least.

Thanks tasquah, I'll look for it. I'm also going to keep up the search for more Poser measuring techniques. It's time I learned.

Ok. I think I've figured it out. If I follow Lyrra's instruction and use Dr. Geep's scale, I can use a ring prop to create a 38" diameter measure and another ring prop measure at 38 + 6 = 44" diameter. Then I place these around Vic in the appropriate areas, line up the backs and scale away. Thanks people!

I just found this as well under a search for poser units

http://www.fallencity.net/lore/index.php Thanks tasquah. I found a 9 foot scale in free stuff and your mention of Dr. Geep touched off a few brain cells - I remembered a URL. This is a very interesting conversation. Is it called a conversation, this?

Thank you for all of the comments. The character I am thinking of would be a tall woman - 5'8" I think - she would be rubenesque light BBW. However, the more I think of it, the more I wonder if there exists some type of Poser measurement chart or dials listing for a chest/waist/hip sort of thing. I know that there is one for height. BTW: I apologize for not knowing more about how this would affect the female with that breast size. And yes, I bought that stupidly cute mouse. I resisted as long as I could, but the outfits and the poses finally wore me down. The housemouse, the kitty, the puppy, that morphing bear. I'm so ashamed.

To ladynimue - I want that particular size because I saw a photo and the breasts were listed as 38DD. I liked the proportions and began to wonder if there was a way to get a specific size in Poser without "eyeballing" the work - so to speak. I do want a natural look, even though the Voluptuous Vicky look is, uhm, interesting too. Thanks for the support FishNose.

I would like a Photoshop V3 cosmetics kit like the one for V2
