You can circumvent the whole problem by creating an INJ/REM pose set of the FBM and applying it to the base figure.

The only cargo pants I know of for V4 are in the Teen Ashley outfit by 3DUniverse.

The tank top (free) by Little Dragon is pretty close to the pictures I've seen of the Faith character.

Return after you've looked over the info and we can get down to specifics for your situation. Such as OS, Blender version you are using, Blender hands-on experience level (to tailor instructions to suit), etc...:biggrin:

Quote - anyway...I'm in the process of smoking some ribs ... going to lather them up in some Devil's Spit ... a couple ears of sweet corn ... diced up some peppers, sweet onions, jalapenos , and red potatoes ... and how about some watermelon for dessert . I'd have a beer or two also, but I'm on call for work, so that's out.

Since you like Devil's Spit you would most likely appreciate:

It's a small batch hot sauce medium heat with great flavor that has never disappointed me in quality.

Traditional Ethiopian Berbere sauce is great on grilled food too, ton of recipes online to make it yourself.

The following statement is included only to facilitate the return of the thread somewhat to topic. It has absolutely no bearing or significance to the issue being in the same style of self-serving rationalization that justifies the excessive adverts that currently accompany the freebie downloads.

Nope didn't offend me I was just curious, thanks for answering. though I have seen VERY few that compare with barbie's unrealistic proportions. Guess I'm not looking enough though.

what? just look at V3 and V4 and then show me a real living woman who looks like that with the same proportions and height......

Julie Strain.....Elle McPherson.....both a bit taller actually....Darryl Hannah....and with a Wonder Bra I'm pretty darn close myself. (5'-11"):tt2::biggrin:

I support this petition.

Transferring the mats to DS format and applying them after loading the model will work (as should PZ2 MATS) since the textures would be loaded separately from the CR2 in both cases.

However, if you want the CR2 to load correctly and automatically apply the textures then you'll need to discover and correct the problem in the CR2.

Ah, 64Bit I missed that in your original post....:biggrin:

Only thing I can suggest then is to load 32Bit Blender and the required Python or wait until the GSOC Collada updates are released.

It's not a problem to have both 32 and 64 Bit versions of Blender on your machine.

Does the texture load correctly when the CR2 is opened in Poser?

If so check the DS3  log file for errors pertaining to any actors in the CR2.

Quite often a morph or actor related error will cause DS to drop the texture loading section of the CR2 even though it loads in Poser.

As an example I have had a missing bracket after editing a CR2 cause this to happen.

Also check the CR2 in DS2 if possible to further determine if the error is general to DS or is only DS3 related.

Use this Collada Importer at teraapi.com/collada4blender/index.htm instead of the one that comes with Blender.

For something like that you'll want to try out the Spin function.

Split your 3d view into two windows.

With the cursor in one screen press NUMPAD 7   (top view)

With the cursor in the second 3d viewport press NUMPAD 1 (front view)

In front view press SPACE>ADD>MESH>PLANE

TAB into Edit mode and delete the vertexes.

Starting on the Z Axis (vertical blue line in front view) place vertexes using CTRL+LMB to create the profile of the goblet ending back at the Z axis.

Under Mesh Tools tab change the Degr. field to 360.

Press the Spin button then left click with the cursor in the top view pane. The profile you created will revolve around the cursor a full 360 degrees creating 9 divisions in the revolved mesh. (The number of divisions can be altered just keeping it simple and using mostly defaults for illustration.)

You will note that the 9th instance is highlighted. You will want to ALT+SHIFT+RMB near one of the selected vertexes to select the original instance also then under Mesh tools click the Rem Doubles button.

Select all the vertexes and press the set smooth button. You will also probably want to use the subdivide modifier.

Are you you using the RMB select to make the object the active selection prior to TAB?

The highlight will turn from a dark pink to light pink on selection in Object mode to indicate that the part is active.

There are several ways to make a hollow cylinder. The following is my usual method:

In Object mode press SPACE>Add>Mesh>Circle

TAB to Edit mode

Press E to extrude and without moving the mouse press ENTER

Press S then either visually scale or enter a number for precision.

Press A twice to select all vertices

Change to a side view using the appropriate NUMPAD key (Press the NUMPAD decimal to frame the active selection in the viewport.)

Press E and left click Regions in the dialog box

Press the X,Y, or Z to constrain the extrusion to the pertinent axis

Visually move the extrusion amount or enter a number.

Not entirely sure exactly what you mean on the question on adding thickness to the edge of a circle.

If you mean along the tangent axis then switch to a side view and extrude the necessary amount, in effect creating a short open ended cylinder.

If you mean in a planar view then use the section method outlined above for creating the wall thickness of the hollow cylinder.

Right, but changing to auto conforming should load the item for use until the reason for the missing "fit to" can be tracked down.

Phionix, is this item something you can distribute for testing on a different system?

If so pack it up and send me a Site mail me a DL link. I'll take a quick run through to see if the error replicates here. Doing this will help determine if the problem is the with CR2 or the D|S install on your machine.

If you can't distribute the item then just send me the CR2 and I'll take a look at it.

Open the CR2 in a text editor like Notepad++ that doesn't screw up the file formatting.

Use the find function to locate the "conforming 0" line.

Change that to "conforming 1"

Save the file.

Open DAZ Studio load the figure and with it selected load the clothing using the revised clothing CR2.

Should be sorted out.
