This is a screenshot of the image. No legs but the joint balls. I had to reinstall serial 3 to get it back to normal use as well as clear up the WM runtime folder I made for the conversion. What was odd is that I installed a new v4 to that location so as it wouldn't alter my base character runtime. Once that failed for me, I was gonna fart around with the bullet physics and clothing, when I loaded my untouched V4, legs were gone from it too. So I tried to load it from my wifes external drive, and her content library, it loaded fine the first time, and killed the legs the second time loading. Puzzled the hell outta me.

ok managed to fix it by reinstalling serial 3. But does anyone have a clue as to what made Poser do that with the weightmapV4?

That is so awesome. Tattoos will be great to impliment. If I may be so bold to ask, how would you apply them in your plug in? Would it be like you have a png image and it overlays a certain part selected in the mat, or would the tat png overlay have to be alligned much like it already is when making overlays to skin mats?

All in all I definately salute your efforts and time in making this. I have only just started to play with EZSkin2 with my rendering within the past few months but already have noticed a difference in output.

You mentioned giving ideas. One which would immensely help me would be a zombify skin creator plugin. I could see the overlay helping creating the grunge aspect in which I use from hybrid grunge shaders as well as the wounded shaders that use to be sold here. For me personaly it is really hard to get displacement maps to give decent rips in skin as well as cloth in Gimp, probably due to inexperience texturing on my part, with disp and bump. But would be awesome to have a plugin which could emass a new unique zombie shader overlay for exsisting character mats. Just an idea though.

You sir... ARE AWESOME...

Amazing work, I am impressed greatly. Thanks for sharing the images they are awesome, and esp the water and glass. Can't wait to see it in action.

I do have a question, do you plan on other types of mats, which focus on cloth material? Just wondering cause I was thinking it would be awesome if there was a ezskin type thing for cloth, seeing the leather made me rekindle the thought.

Seriously, this looks amazing.

Willyb: The tip you mentioned worked like a charm, thanks, I guess the hair had too many points to assure IDL would work properly, as an emmiter, I would have never guessed that at all. Thank you so much.

Vilters: I was basing the Raytracing based on the tutorial from the IDL Studio Base from I13 that came with the product. It mentioned that the bounces give it a brighter image. I usually use 1 on my RT Bounce, normally, and I am new to IDL completely, using Poser 7 for so long, so I figured that maybe that had something to do with the setup or something.

I went there earlier today and got the maitnence screen. So is it a hack by visiting the site or logging in?

Ok will do, thanks for the info.

I just bought the I13 IDL Studio Master last night and it looks awesome rendering, the little time I have played with it, plus there is a decent pdf which comes with it, which gives a good setting for the render settings. I would recomend if you have the money to spend on it.

ok figured out what I did wrong, forgot to seperate the leg zones with the pelvis.

ok got the rig on the cloth and it looks good as in when dawn poses the clothes follow Dawn, I just have one little problem, the dress bottom splits where the leg groups differ, any idea how to fix this? Thanks for your responce, and help.

Ok will do so on the outfit and see if it works as I hope it does. On the dev rig when placed on the outfit does it keep the rotations as the rig or will I have to reput in the rotations? Sorry if that is a newb question but rigging has been latin to me viewing the tutorials I have seen.

Thanks for the reply I appreciate it.

Ohhhhh, ok then, I was confused on that then about wardrobe wizard.  Yes those two things are in Poser 10, so I shall try it and see if it works. If you transfer the weightmap to the clothing and have it parented to Dawn, will it bend with the movement? I ask because I have had very minimal success rigging thus far using dev rigs. I am sure it is easier than I am making it out to be, but thus far haven't found my personal nitche for it.
