it needs to be grouped and rigged if you want a conformer.

i  suggest that you leave max and everything else alone for now, and read Posers manual, watch the poser vids at CP/SM.

you will NEVER learn how to model and create clothing UNLESS you actually study the information that is freely available in many places.

leaping ahead without learning the basics will continue to frustrate and irritate you.

using basic mapping will lead to crappy UVs. you need to cut up the model into logical sections on the map/maps.

ie  wings, trunk, doors,. hood, glass, wheels, tyres etc.

its fine from here in the UK.

you should always model on the zeroed base mesh . then add character morphs after, either manually adjusting the mesh in a modeller to fit( or useing the morphbrush in Poser) and saving a morph target for each PBM or FBM. or you can use Morphing Clothes to inject morphs into the .cr2.

yeah, can barely read half the text here now, flipping awful colour scheme.

sounds like a UAC issue. disable it totally, but if the rig is online,make sure you have a good firewall and at least MS Essentials for anti- malware.

yup, that is way too high in polys for a wing. you rough out your mesh in as low a polycount as you can, then 'smooth' but don't freeze ( ie, you work in a sub-d 'cage' ).

you only add enough geometry to preserve the shape, then 'freeze'.

i second Saxon3D, you should watch some 3DS tutorials to find out HOW the mesh should be constructed, plus you need to learn how to preserve the quads. tris are NOT recommended for Poser models,  with the exception that tris drape better in the cloth room.

you will likely need to model on the Ryan 2 . obj. Tyler is really a morph of Ryan 2.

then you will need to rig with Ryan2 , then inject the Tyler morph into the cloth. which might need a bit of tweaking to the rigging after.

very limited. tbh not worth bothering with.

check Amazon, i have seen P9 for under $100 there, P8 for $20.

solved!!

been a chatroom here for years, but only just lately has the link been on the front page.

Miki 4 is weightmapped, did you copy across the weightmapping?

just a heads up.   be aware that the gen 4 figures are no longer free. plus to use most of the characters available for V4 you will need the Morphs ++ pack( head morphs will usually work without the morphs pack, but body morphs will not) the character texture will work fine on base V4.

yeah, keeping an eye on my inbox, and will check next bank statement very closely.

thankfully i used PayPal for my old PC subscription( cancelled early last year), i never did trust daz with any card details.

Quote - > Quote - Some so called V5 textures actually use V4 mapping. They would never tell you in advance though, would they? After all, it's not about art...

Why would they need to? People are going generally complain anyway. You make it for V4 and they complain it's not V5, even though most of the differences are so minor it doesn't make a difference for most people unless vendors are lazy and don't fix the seams because the minor differences between V4 and the genesis V4 UVs; you make it for V5, then they whine they can't use various addons such as wet maps, tattoo, etc because no one made those yet for V5. I think people really should focus on the quality of the texture in conjunction with the morphs of V5s and the fact the value of Genesis is that you DON'T need to use a specific UV for characters, which allows you to use different textures in different ways.

Hope that makes it clearer for you the quandary some vendors are in when they make characters, so art can really take focus.

 

great attitude for someone who wants to SELL his products............................
