1:
Light quality boost +4 and sky-fog-haze boost +2 give me a finished render time of 1h56'42"

2:
Light quality boost +4 and sky-fog-haze boost -1 give me a finished render time of 1h53'45"

I think picture 1 is slightly less grainy but it 's hard to tell.
I said before that i used a quality boost of +7 in the light tab, however the setting changes itself always back to +4 if i check again ???
I can 't oversample this setting (as one can with most of the other parameters).

Wim

Ah ! Just checked how far it was and now it 's saying 'time left 1h19'
Man this time guessing thing is wobbly LOL !!

Doing a small test currently with the light quality boost set to 7 and atmo boost set to 2.
Only rendering about 1/10th of the image in Final Mode with a 'area selected render' which contains lots of light.

So far Vue 'guesses' that it will take aprox 5 hours to render this part !!

Hmm... setting the atmo boost to a - instead of a + ... will try that later on :-)

Quote - You can only add the bodyparts one by one as morph targets or you have to use a Python script to create the morph targets for the whole body.

Where can i find such a script ?

nruddock, the time frame for the import settings start at 6:10 and the selected options are 'keep vert order' and 'poly groups'
The time frame for the export is at 12:59 and the selected options are 'selection only' - 'rotate x90' - 'UVs' - 'poly groups' and 'keep vert order'

If i import the obj in Poser (so not loaded as a morph target) it loads in just fine but i obviously do not have the separate groups no more (it is then become 1 object)

Do i have to export only parts of the body instead of the whole figure ?
Or maybe if i buy Morph Loader from DAZ will this work better then ?

Wim

I start out in Blender with importing the blAiko3.obj (found in Runtime-Geometries) with import settings as seen in this video http://paolociccone.com/tutorials/blender_poser_fbm.html

In Blender i modify things with scaling and moving polygons and then i export as explained in the video.

Next i open Poser and select the Aiko3 fig from the library, and then i load in the Morph Target... but Poser crashes when i do this :-(
The blAiko3.obj in the geometries folder is 8.2MB on my HD and the exported .obj from Blender is only 7MB. Maybe that 's the problem ?

Wim

If i load the morph target into Poser 6, the app crashes :-(

Just downloaded the official release, and now i have the 'poly groups' when i import and export :-)
Gonna play with it some more now and see that i can import in Poser without problems then.

Thanks for the added functions !

Aha they 're there indeed. I don 't get that  'poly groups' option when importing, but when in edit mode they appear in the panel window and i can work with them. Still a bit strange no ?

I don 't have the 'poly groups' option when i import an .obj as you do in your video.

I'm also an Aiko3 fan, have many clothes for her in the runtimes and mostly i play around with this figure and re-morph her alot.
Have Aiko4 also but never used her so far despite the fact that i bought some pretty morphs for this figure in the past.

Would i still buy clothes and stuff for A3... not likely since i already have way too many stuff + i also have Wardrobe Wizard 2 so...
But yes she is still my main figure :-)

Hmmm... very strange, i just downloaded the 2.49rc3 for Mac OS X PowerPC and when i unzip this, it contains the 2.48.4 version ???

Thank you an awful lot for this man ! Now i finally can make my own custom morphs on figures without using tons of magnets inside Poser :-)

Oh and yes please, if you would have the time to show us how to adjust the clothing to fit the  morphed figures, that would be very cool too ;-)

Be shure that when they would buy out GeoControl, it will work on the Mac please LOL !!
Otherwise i would love all the suggestions given here :-)

Ha found it !
Apparently it was sitting in the wrong folder. I moved it in the "Bushes" folder and found out that it was one of those 'ghost' items that was showing the plant instead of the real one (you know with that cornucopia label on it)

All solved now...
Thanks all :-)

Wim

Hmm, this is weird.
I have it in the "Bushes" folder, in the "Grasses-Plants" folder and in a folder named "C3d solidgrowth"

Now that last folder is one i created long time ago in Vue5inf and this is the oldest Aucuba i have, but non of 'em will load. Vue keeps telling me : Unable to read file...

Very strange since i have both a bought version and one that shipped with Vue7inf.
