Oh, and one important thing I forgot to mention: I am using Poser 8 with all the updates installed.

Quote - Go into the HAIR ROOM(no agression meant) and look for a DO COLLISIONS checkbox. That's your culprit. Turn it ON for each hair group. Do a Calculate All Hair and Cloth sim or just for a few hairs to test. OH! And do the CLOTH SIMS FIRST!!!!! Seriously...don't mess that one up! LOL! [http://www.youtube.com/user/corinthianscori?feature=mhum/quote] I have Do Collisions checked on each hair prop. And when I did the cloth sims first, the hair sim messed up the cloth sim. So I do it the other way around. I don't know why it's not working and it's driving me nuts. I want her hair to drape over the pillow and spill onto the bed.

I even tried messing with the dynamic settings and seeing if I could get it to work by changing the bend resistance setting up a little higher... no go. I guess I am going to mess with the whole thing and see what I can come up with.

 

Oh, and I tried the box idea. Still got the same result... 

I don't seem to be having the problem with the clothing. Just the hair. But I will give it a go and see what happens.

Thanks!

Quote - Now I feel kinda bad. I'm not trying to do anything noble here, just better hoochie-mama poses. 

Got to start somewhere...

Quote - Try this.

Oops... left out one backslash... I feel silly now.

Here is the tutorial explaining what each parameter affects in the cloth room

I also like Alyson when I use 3dream faces on her.

Yep. :)

Yeah, that's sad...

Wait.... so in order to be considered great on here, I have to do a pin up? That's the only thing I see about all the galleries you posted. Sexual innuendos and partial nudity. I think it takes more than that to make a good picture/render. And I think there are plenty of really good galleries still on here. Look around. Or better yet, as wolf suggested, post your own.

Thanks for the tip. I am leaving V4 alone for awhile so I can concentrate on my Jedi and what I need to get my trailor made. I started work today on the fight between her and Darth Vengeance; the animation is all me, frame by frame. No BVH, no mocap, no premade animations. I hope to have something to show in a couple weeks.

Quote - --and don't forget the free V4.2 texture maps (face, limbs, torso, eyes) available in the freebie section eg SahaFashion_marissa, Undinas Femke, or Adara_Nikisatez's textures).  All are outstanding. 

Additionally, there are tons of texture freebies for V3 too.  Jan

My only issue with the freebie section is that it takes too long to wade through that stuff to find what you want. The only thing I really want right now is hair. I really don't like the base figure's hair, and I only found one free hair prop that isn't really all to my liking either.

Quote - And with your talent, rokket, having worked with independent figures, you can even do your own in Blender and save them as morph targets. About the only reason I'd be getting the Daz ones is for the expression morphs... or were they included with the base figure? can't remember.

Yeah, expression morphs are included in the base figure. I am not sure what the morph++ is for, but a lot of things I really wanted stated that you need it for them to work. Kind of urked me, but then what can I do? Like you stated, make my own character. Which I am going to do eventually. I have a 24 part tut on how to do it in Blender. That is the thing I will be working on when I get back to sea.

Quote - A screenshot of library as requested. I keep mine tucked in the corner even smaller than the screenshot. You can float it any size/position you want. All the different 'rooms' can be laid out independantly. Fairly sure it can be set similar to Poser Pro 2010

I upgraded from P6 and found switching between runtimes a lot quicker, though you do get a slow period at the start- I've got about 1100 folders and it seems to read them at 2 or 3 per second.

 

 

I get the same results. I don't have nearly as much as you do, but they read about 4 per second when loading.

You don't have to double click the mouse to see what is in the folders. They expand on one click. Double click installs into the scene.

Thanks! I feel like a dummy. I should have known that, I guess. But I am only about 2 months into getting serious about Poser now, so I guess I have to give myself time to grow and hopefully learn something along the way.

I will be going back to sea very soon. Nights of uninterupted practice time. I'll be working on lights and other things in Poser, and a little bit each night, I'll try something out in Blender.
