Here's a ruler if that helps.

Wish I knew. It happens to me too.  It's very touchy.

I had the same problem last week.  I fixed it by going to IE, opening "Tools", & making sure that "Work Offline" does NOT have a check mark next to it.  Went back to the library & BAM! there it was working again. 

Please let me know if this also worked for you.

Hi Wolfie!

I hve PP2012 & Phil's presets work terrific.  No worries there.  The reason clothes are falling off is that you need to parent them to your figure.  Most get parented to the hip, but dresses, I parent to the chest or abdomen so they don't fall.  As far as shrink wrapping the figure, I haven't tried. 

I'm just learning dynamics too but I had to do it because I made this cute little dynamic outfit I wanted to use.  I'm starting to get the hang of it, but I had the same issues you did.  :-)  Phil has a tutorial for dynamics on his site with the belly dancer dress & it will really help you too. 

Hope this helped.

P.S.  I'd love to be able to figure out how to create a hybrid rig without using the ghost bones rig for it, but one step at a time for me-lol.

Wish I did.  I have a Nvidia too & I've been dying to try out that feature.  Good luck in your quest.

Looks like Miley Cyrus to me.

That could work too.  Not sure how to go about it, but I could try.

With 2 versions of the crown already & 14 props total, adding 2 version of the crown would bloat the file, I think.  If there was a way to include two material zones with 1 object, I'd add 1 with all the stone options.  It's a good idea, but I don't think it's feasible with what's already in the files.  The choker had so many different zones that I ended up knocking it down to 4 to keep from driving myself crazy too.  LoL

Quote - > Quote - I managed to get it down to 21 material zones.  I think if I shrink the UVs any further I'll be sacrificing texture quality for a smaller number.

Just a thought, you might be able to keep the texture quality if you stack some of the UVs on top of each other.  Where the UV's are the same of course :)

John.

I stacked all the rosettes after my last post then decided to keep them as separate rosettes so each one could be different.  I tried a shader on the crown  & the zones seem to be holdng up their quality.  So hopefully, disaster averted.  :)

@Zaarin,

Hi! 

@ Winterclaw,

I kind of understand all the zones on the eyes to be honest, but elsewhere... meh.

I managed to get it down to 21 material zones.  I think if I shrink the UVs any further I'll be sacrificing texture quality for a smaller number.

Hi ya, Phil!  I figured you'd say that.  LoL  Yeah, I've decided to lower the number of zones & consolidate, but 10 zones might not be enough.  Would you say under 20 is acceptable?

Quote - 2.

 

Sometimes more is just more.  If you can consolidate and streamline you should. I'm reminded of a quote I heard a character artist at Dreamworks say once:  When in doubt, K.I.S.S. (K.eep I.t S.imple S.tupid).  

LoL Sometimes I forget the K.I.S.S. rule. 

Quote - If it is a prop, then material collections would be the optimal method for delivering texture to each zone.  MATPoses work for figures, props must be parented for MATPoses to apply.

I understand that.  What I'm wondering is, what number of material zones is too many for a complex prop? I have over 100 zones (stone1, stone 2, stone 3, etc.) on 1 prop. That's kind of :scared:

Luckily, all the rosettes have the same UV map.

Quote - if there are lots of gems, group them into subgroups. in your case there is no reason to change all 7 zones of each of the 13 rosettes individually.

Interesting thought.  I may do this instead. Thanks. :)

Quote - Wellllll, I love lots of options - but almost 100 is ... inconvenient.

So I vote for option 2

 

The crown looks good, btw (c:

Thanks for voting & the compliment.  :)   I thought it would be too many, but always nice to hear from others.
