I find that if i parent certain props to my poser figures and then try and then try and import them into Vue strange things happen.. Either the figure wont load.. or parts of the figure wont import at all. wonder whats going on here?

a really silly question but do you have to parent every part of say jeans to the base figure, eg right and left thights to the same.. or do you just parent the clothing item to one part????

its the legs with you too ahe!! that is where i have the problem, Does work a lot better and will you need to repose when you repostion the figure? sorry Evr for sorta hijacking your topic. hopefully this will help you as well. i think a lot of people have this problem. i asked Daz about it and they didnt suggest the parent pose method! ho hum

hmmm i have had this problem as well. but it only really shows up when it ry to move the characters pose, then all kinds of things occur. Hmmm conforming foranything other than the std figure YUCH!!

Thanks for the response people. I am not really too bothered about render times, well not too bothered.. what i am more concerned with is things likeslow downs when i pose the characters or even change background colors etc.. In p4 i find that the losres daz dragon cause my system probs, and if i over stack vicy with props then causes probs.. all i really need is an upgrade which allows the program to move faster pre rendering.. or does poser move slow anyhow.. or vene do i have too much stuff in poser anyway.. its around 3.0gb regards smooh

Well i will most certainly keep my copy of poser4, mainly because the new features of p5 will most definetly strain my computer so much that i wont be able to fully utilize them that often, if at all. i will endeavour to carry on with p4,as i also think that i have not exhausted its potential, its a personal thing i guess. one day when i have the money and have upgraded my pc somewhat.. i might go for p5.. til then its good ol p4 for me..

Does anybody think that a computer that meets their minimum spec will relly get the most out of it.?

Well i have a 500mhz pentium with 256mb of ram if P5 wont run on yours i doubt i have much chance.. Whatya think of my chances smooh heres hoping

The figure itself has Ik turned off, i have looked for Ik settings on the socks but they seem to be amiss, But i shall try that suggestion out with other items of clothing. Excuse my ignorance but wahat are blend zones. thanks for your help
