Why not just install DS4 and use V6 in the program she was made for?

Not being sarcastic, just wondering why you just don't use the software designed for the figure rather than fighting with a kludge that won't make you happy?

From what I've read, many like Poser's morphing brush better.  I really like the morphing brush in 2014 for fitting clothing it's so much better than 2012.  I haven't used Daz Studio so I can't compare against Daz myself.   I'm familiar with Poser now.  There's the learning curve to switch, and I've also purchased Octane for Poser, I'd have to buy that again for Daz

You don't have to switch anything.  You can use both programs you know......... DS doesn't have a morph brush at all. 

Autofit doesn't work with DSON.

DS HD is DAZ proprietary so that's not going to work in Poser with DSON.

It just makes little sense to me to use a program with a kludge for a figure that works in a free program made specifically FOR that figure.

If you want to use V6, use her in DS.  For the rest continue to use Poser.

Glitter, A POSER user wants use POSER to render content and wants help accomplishing that. If you can't help, don't bully users or play forum cop trying to direct what can be discussed in this forum. If you can't or won't help, there's absolutely no need to reply when you haven't even installed the product on your install to even render an opinion. It's really posts like these reduce forum participation because Poser users can't even ask questions without these types of comments.  I think Rawart was correct when he posted his observation in that other thread. Anyway, to the OP: There are several threads in the forums on how to use the DSON importer or you can find Joepublic's thread on how to convert the genesis characters to a native CR2 that will have less functionality but will run better in Poser. But you should know that there are people that are using Genesis in poser and rendering, and there are some tips that other people that actually use it in Poser should be able to answer.

LOL Male_M3dia, thanks.  Maybe Glitterati is made of money.  It would mean me learning the DAZ interface (not too big a deal since it's free...  but my free time is limited).  I'm still learning in Poser, but I think I can navigate around pretty well so my workflow is fairly efficient.  Then I'd have to buy Octane for Daz, and the SSS for it too.  Not to sound like too big a fanboy, but I really like Octane's rendering.  I'm sure I could fiddle with lights in Daz for months and still not render as well. I should probably start a new thread, my interest is a little peaked in trying out Daz Studio since I use Octane now for rendering...  I thought Poser's rendering was better, but for me that's a moot point now.  The plus is that I would only pay to upgrade 1 piece of software instead of 2.  I've seen closeups of the face, hands, legs and feet that have nice detail.

Try Nobiax's textures. While they won't help you with clothing, they should help you a great deal with environment (walls, floors, trees, ground, etc).

Filter Forge is also on sale for 1 more day. Pro can be had for $79 (normally $399). https://filterforge.com/

Looks pretty good.  Do you have it?

Thanks!  Filter forge looks very tempting...

It's still a hobby, I'd like to see if I could make a few $$ to offset what I've spent but not worried about it.  In short, there is a potential for commercial use.

Thanks!  Now that I see that page I remember that one and noticed the bookmark.  :)

Did you check the site?  I'm on a mobile phone right now, harder to check.

Great!  Yes, that did help.  The problem was I selected !HeadTails-Body.  Do that, and it doesn't work right.

 

Now to figure out why Queue Manager broke all the sudden.  Last time I re-installed PPro SR4 and it worked.  This time, it didn't.  Even with new preference files.  :(

Quote - I've not tried it, but as far as I can see it's a parented figure - meaning you wouldn't expect it to conform. However I would expect it to move with her head, but you'd have to pose the tails yourself.

Just checking: you did use the 'set figure parent' command, and not the prop parent one?

 

I gotta go back and check again.  But I didn't contact them, it's a freebie and states "File is provided AS IS with no technical support or warranty."  Sounds like they don't want to get harrassed for something they aren't making any money from, and I can't blame them for that.

Are you using the latest SR4?  My Pro 2014 build is 10.0.4.27796 and it seems to be crashing a lot on me now, AMD R9 280 with latest drivers.  I have SLI, but disable in Poser because SLI runs slower.  :(

And the full pic.

I was shocked when I learned she was old enough to be my mother. :P On the other hand, Asian women don't seem to age as quickly as Europeans. I saw a recent picture of Rosalind Chao (Korean; Keiko O'Brien from Star Trek: TNG and DS9) and she's hardly aged a day. On the other hand, I saw a recent picture of Terry Ferrell (Jadzia Dax, DS9--aka the most beautiful woman ever) and she's *still* gorgeous--even though she *is* the same age as my mother. O_O > > And since you wanted pictures... > >  

Indeed.  I thought Michelle Malkin is one of the prettiest ladies out there.  I tried my hand at creating my own copy - which makes me wonder why I haven't done more renders.

Quote - > Quote - Just how much extra work is there with Octane? 

Well, that's a pretty subjective thing. Some will say not much, some will say too much!

I tried the Poser plug-in about 6 months ago. It was fast with my Nvidia card dedicated to Octane and a Radeon for the main screen (or was it the other way around? can't recall) The speed was there but I was put off by the need to duplicate or re-create textures. And re-do the lighting. And basically just learn the ins and outs of a new program. In general it was more fiddling with Octane thanI wanted to do to recreate what I already had in Poser -- just to speed up rendering.

I do a lot of progress renders so I think a GPU approach would be great, but I am not usually willing to do the extra work to "re-invent" a complex image in Octane. 

~R 

Bummer.  Rendering speeds have been getting to me, and with the processing power of the newer graphics cards looked like a good solution. 

Also keep in mind extra computers, with quad core processors being cheap and you have Pro for Queue Manager.  You may be able to pick up used ones cheap.

Just how much extra work is there with Octane?  There was a thread resurrected not too long back (or I found it in a search) about the plug-in with Poser.  It's been out for a few years now so I'd think it would be more mature.   Are you using that, and the latest version?

 

I only ask because it sounded very interesting, it would be cheaper for a 2, 3 or 4 SLI computer rig vs. a server rig for the rendering power.  As a bonus, you have a monster gaming rig, or if you don't use it for that, can sell it secondhand without as much loss.

Quote - A set of complete, ready to go, presets for the materials room. There ought to be standard shaders that would give decent results for things like water, rocks, asphalt, fur, glass, plastic, cloth of various descriptitons, etc. And there ought to be an easy way for users to save textures that they create into this library. In this way, I could enter the material settings that BB makes into the room ONCE and then, forever after, have it ready to call back into the shader tree.

I know enough about programming to know that if they are already saving all of this stuff when we save a PZ3, then it should be possible to save just that part of the data into a separate library!

You can save materials into your library from the material room, but I agree a bunch of built-in materials would go a long ways towards ease of use.
