Thanks, I was thinking it was finally a true environment sphere , so in this case not what I expected .. too bad

Hi guys, I have a question , can I use HDRI environment maps to light up the scene in Poser Pro 11 with unbiasing rendering , or it still use just light probes as before ? I was about to upgrade but can't find the info about , thanks in advance. Cath

Thanks !! :)

Having fun doing it is all what counts ! Eric 

for people that don't have the tools, knowledge or ability to make any changes  it is another story ,  but I hope the new morphs +++ change it a little bit plus upcoming other products and moods as the base is just as good as a blank canvas

Dawn base shape is strong and masculin that is not secret as everyone have eyes, but she can be a doll  if you want it :)

Thanks Shane ,

I agree , and regarding Dawn it is just to early to judge ,  new super rigging in Poser for Dawn will not change anything at this moment , content provider need to change the worklfow to something totally new , DS native users can'r just export cr2 and expect it to work , I write all my stuff manually for Poser and use some basic parts from the cr2 , the morphs need to be created different way also , as Dawn in Poser have half the resolution , for some of my morphs I created new rigging with animated joins that fixed some things I did not like .

In short you can create anything from the base you imagine without restrictions as long you have some imagination and some knowledge .

and just becouse Dawn base is not the perfect one it inspired me to make something new from that , but that does not mean you have to do it too , it is personal choice , stick to things and do stuff you love to do , and enjoy your creative time !

Quote - Thats some beautiful work, Mec4D. I've quietly followed some of your threads over at HW. Very very nice. Would like to see more work of this quality from other vendors and artists, regardless of the figure being used.

bellow you see all DAWN  characters with own clothing sets I created .. all characters , textures .. does it looks like the base ?  nope and it is only half of what I made 

for me personally a new inspirations and the best thing here is that I can create each for both platforms ..

Then you are wrong , what was minimal adjusted in Poser was some of the joins parameters

that why exported cr2 clothing from DS working stright in Poser on her following all morphs .

and if you wonder where I know things then I tell you from the makers as we speak about on the phone .

I don't understand what the fuzz about where it was rigged .. open the cr2 and you can see anyway .

It is not perfect in Poser or DS  that why I hope future version will be done the way it should , until then I am having little fun with her :) 

Quote - Sorry, Joe, that's just not true.  It's never been true, and I don't believe I've ever seen anyone claim it is.

Even the folks from Hivewire never said any such thing.

 

No did not , just the full body shape but this no matter .. permission denit

Actually I did the morph clone Dawn to Genesis , but I got informed that making V4 or other shapes that help fiting clothing on dawn via auto fit need to be approved for sale by DAZ as it violate the Eula , the V4 and other shapes are copyrighted , I saw happy for 5 min , and can't share with you :(

Quote - OK, so the Stalker girl shorts and LD Tank Top was more of a cheat.  (sorry, that was me too)  I just positioned it close, dropped a smoothing modifier on it, and wham-o, nice fit!  (...did I mention how much I love that smoothing modifier?)

For an extreme pose, that would not work...so, I looked into how to "create a clone", figuring if I had one, I could autofit.

Found this LINK in the forumarchive, and I got to work. 

As a result, it is possible to get a "decent" autofit of V4 clothes on Dawn in DS via autofit.  I loaded V4 and Dawn, and dialed in the closest possible match of V4 that I could, with Dawn's available settings.  Once done, I save this as a single morph, changed it to a Clone type and saved it off as a Clone morph asset.  (this is a one-time operation, easy to doco)
 
Now I load clothes for V4, and there is an autofit option for this clone from V4toDawn (that's what I named it).  This gets me about 75-80% of the way there...and the smoothing modifier finishes the job.  Morphs are still in the clothes (which I didn't expect), as an added benefit!
 
Just another reason that having a figure native to the application is a real benefit!

I did this quickly, and my feeling is that if someone takes their time to create a V4 morph for Dawn, it would vastly improve the autofit's first pass.  ("V4, A3, etc. Shapes" for Dawn would probably sell very well...hint, hint, content developers...but don't make it too expensive!)

just in case e-mail :      office AT mec4d dot com 

and I will be back this evening , as I have appointment in 2 hours 

so let me know 

Well in my case, It was time to go and focus on my own business since my vision don't fit so well with other's visions ..  what else to say 

well I am happy since 

but to make it clear, I ended the agreement on my own request 

I am missing my old DAZ people and since mostly all are gone or vanishing in silence it was time for me also, I guess from the same reasons ... you know ;) lol
