@dvlenk6 For 1539 Quads that's Awesome!!! In fact... it would be awsome at 10 times that. I would love to see you're wires.

Thanks for the reply. Did you make these base models, or are they from somewhere else? I'll keep firther discussion of my guy to a new thread so we don't drift this one.

Is there any licence restrictions on what we can do with these base meshes? There was nothing in the file folders. I know these are inteded as modeling bases, but they would also be great practice for UV Mapping and rigging. I've just finished modeling my own Ultra Low res model. He came in at 2534 Polys with 2438 Quads and 96 Tris. So I'm a bit obessesed with any Low Res humaniod figure. Any tips on getting those 96 Tris. I did my best to eliminate the TRIS, but there was just no way to do it without driving up my poly count in unacceptable ways, or doing a 5th total rebuild. :-D I'm now working on morphs for him. I'm kind of marketing him as a game res figure, and planning on making him a Poser model. When Tripled he comes out at 4972 Tris.

Yup. If this technique works the way I hope, there will be a lot cr2's in my library that will get hacked. :-D

For my figures, I'm thinking that I could add my own custom neck geometry so that the points will weld between my figure and the M3 heads eliminating the whole seam problem.

Since you guys have been nice enough to help me, here is a preview of what I'm up to.

It's an Ultra Lo Res figure. You can fit about 12 of these guys into the same polygon count as a single nakid Unimesh.

What I'm hoping is that I can pull the geometry from the Real M3, and reduced res M3 from alternate cr2's. That way the same figure works not only as a stand alone, but also for close up work.

Don't have one or both .... the respective Cr2 just loads an outfit.

Conforming clothes with out the conforming overhead. :-)

Quote - Poser only loads the geometry referenced in the body parts.

Thanks. Good news indeed.

Quote - You want to load the body parts that show from one figure and the clothing from another, and have it arrive in Poser as a single figure?

Pretty close.

I've created a few customer figures. Rather than make them conforming figures, I've included a custom head, neck, hands, and arms. They are the only part of the figure that may show skin.

What I would like to do is offer versions with M3's respective parts. If I can get them as external geometry from the DAZ M3.OBJ (I know that's not what it's called but I'm too lazy to look it up.) It would mean greatly improved fuctionality. It would also simply using the figure.

I always hated the waist of a something like a conforming body suit that is basically a copy of the original figure minus the head, hands, and feet.

For figures that spend most of their time fully clothed,I missed the simplicity of the good old Casual Dork, and Cansual Possette.

If Possible, I would like to restore that kind of simple fuctionality without sacrificing compatibility, or storing more geometry than needed.

But will that really save on memory, or is the whole figure loaded and then the parts not used sit there waisting memory? The point of this exercise would be to allow a clothing item that covers most of the body to add jus the parts it doesn't cover, and make a single figure as opposed to 2 complete figures trying to move in unison as nude and a conforming figure.

No more poke through, and additional memory savings on the second character rig would also be nice.

The biggest adantage is not accidently grabbing the wrong figure part when posing and maybe even increased render time since it would have to calculate the nakid body underneith.

By the way. Thanks for answering. ;-)

You're the Poser version of Dubai India Moe. LOL!

You should put it all in one box. Or all on one DVD.

I wuv you... you are meat.... :twisted:

So glad I got my lifetime subscription on the 31st. :-D

onimusha, thanks. I have all the V3's :-D Just never heard the later CR2 called SAE.

More second skin clothes for anyone and everyone. WIth some nice Displacement maps to give them some depth and less like they are painted on.

Ok. I'm a dummy. What is V3 SAE? I know what/who V3 is. V3RR, Love 'er. V3 SR1/SR2. Got it. GlamerouseV3 and IngenueV3. Know of them. V3 SAE? Huh?
