martial, glad you're getting use out of it :)

Hey  thanks RAM, Craig, Fy, Jeff and martial :)

I was going to put the Apollo fit on my website freebies but it got included in the store copy! I don't think it got tested by DAZ QA as they only test for the DAZ figures (unless the product is specifically for a non DAZ figure... and they don't carry those products, normally.)  So no QA means I can't officially add him to the list of fits on the DAZ product page.  I'll put a note about it on my website where it should have gone.  I got a copy of the installer and I was surprised to see the AM fits in there 8O but decided to leave it lol :)

Thanks Richard & Alisa :)

Just popping in to say that today is the last day of the intro sale.  Thank you to the early buyers, your support is very much appreciated! 

Three expansion packs are now available... my biggest thanks to these vendors for their support too :)

Thanks for looking! :)

Quote - Nope  and Texture creators just keep painting on pubes and brows as always  I don't think I have seen but maybe 1 V4 texture that came with an option for no pubes or brows.

(feel free to correct me if anyone knows of more that have none)

This was the case for V3 as well, she had transmappable brows from the start and the majority of texture artists didn't use them and painted right on the skin.  Choice is a good thing but it was curious how many people made a big deal about V4.0 not having transmappable brows.  shrug :)

wanders by, idly skimming v4 threads
lol

Quote - > Quote - BTW, INJ or not is not a DS vs Poser thing... the same loading process is in both, ie the morphs are loaded to memory when you double click on the V4 icon in your library or when you double click on an INJ pose file in your library.  I'm not sure who told you "morphs aren't actually loaded into memory until you dial them" - that's not right. ;)

"morphs aren't actually loaded into memory until you dial them" was part of the marketing when inj was introduced with V3. The point of this statement was that the loaded cr2 wasn;t burdened by holding morphs you didn't use or didn't need for a project. INJ/REM come about when it was relealized how large the fully loaded V3 cr2 would be with every morph. I know this because I was standing there at the time. 

When studio was initial designed this same phrase was used publically and internally because the plan was to have DS automatically call the morphs when the dial was at a value other than zero, thus not loading the morphs into memory until the user moved the slider.

Mind you this was many years ago.

Interesting... just watching my cpu and memory usage, it's clear to me both Poser 7 and DS load the morphs when you double click on the library icons, and both poser and ds use some more when you dial the morphs but not as much as during the load. The sizes are about the same for both too, except cpu useage goes down to a lower and less spikey level with DS compared to Poser. 

DS has better memory handling from where I'm sitting... so DS marketing may have said memory is not used till the dials are turned, but that's not a technically complete statement - how can the dials even become visible on the screen if they don't load something?? lol  They may have optimised memory use for morphs before EF did, I'll buy that ;)

Anyhoo, the only reason I pointed that out is DAZ are still developing cr2s and pz2s in Poser as these are Poser format files and hence the concern of if it works in DS comes after that, so I don't see how they could be unconcerned about Poser users. (They may want to go that way lol -- what business wouldn't love a monopoly ;) -- but they can't at this time or anytime this year at least, afaik. heh :)  )  So... IMO Poser users don't yet have to feel all neglected and up in arms for this reason.  Should be easy to find another reason... like installers lol.  That's the one I was biting on but we were in the minority so didn't get a lynch mob happening in the critical timeframe.  hahaha... shrug sigh

Quote - All the complaints of V4(.1) Morph++ containing all of her morphs by default w/o the option the easily INJ/REM the ones that are actually wanted are answered by DAZ staff with "Well, in DAZ|Studio, morphs aren't actually loaded into memory until you dial them." :-|  It's like gee that's great but that doesn't help us Poser users now does it?

V4 (and V4.1) Morphs++ is the standard V4 and it comes with a set of morphs preloaded, so you only have to INJ/REM addon products beyond this. 

This is the same thing they did with Aiko3 and Hiro3 (ie have a set of standard morphs in the cr2) and I think DAZ marketing decided this was more popular than V3 and M3 who came with no set preloaded (except the spandex morphs so you could make them not naked lol) and had to be INJ'd to be used at all.

There was no big hoohaa about Aiko3 and Hiro3 having some usable morphs preloaded, or did I miss that?  I do recall some statements praising them though.

If this standard set were that big a load on users, I would suggest requesting for DAZ to make these injectable into a stripped down V4 (ie the V4 Base.)  :)

As I use these standard sets all the time I prefer them preloaded, personally. I had actually saved my own version ov V3 cr2 that had these morphs preloaded.

BTW, INJ or not is not a DS vs Poser thing... the same loading process is in both, ie the morphs are loaded to memory when you double click on the V4 icon in your library or when you double click on an INJ pose file in your library.  I'm not sure who told you "morphs aren't actually loaded into memory until you dial them" - that's not right. ;)

Hope that helps... if you have any questions or doubts, feel free to ask :)

Quote - Is it legal to install the !Daz folder in multiple runtimes?

I read someone answer this in the DAZ forum... don't take my word for it till I find that reference link but if I recall, the eula allows multiple copies on the same computer for the same user - eg backup copies. 

heyas :)  there are LOTS of questions popping up about this update installer.
check the thread link below in case your problem is shared by others and hopefully they have been answered... haha ;)

By all means wait for admin or staff reply but in the meantime, speaking as a vendor here (I don't know firsthand what the testing staff do), afaik they do look over texture seams and mesh deformation (general posing) but they only spend a few hours (1 to 4 hrs) on each item, unless it's a big and complicated pack once in a while they have to go over that.  However, vendors are required* to have had our items beta tested (preferably by someone other than the developer) for the "real" deep testing.  Store testers aren't expected to go as deep, and if buyers find any problems the vendor performs any support/fixes directly or the buyer is entitled to return the product for a refund.
*Not sure where this is documented exactly.

thanks Stacey :)
if nothing else, can you drop a suggestion with the mods not to lock threads? lol.

oy!  stop showing that stuff off or some movie house will take you away and we'll never see poser stuff from you again :P

(As shown in sample above.)
Thanks for your support, MaskimXul!! :)

People ask me where to find expansion packs but this is the only one available that I know of at the moment. (I'm not always the first to know lol :) )

Hey, I don't think I saw those non textured renders before. Sweet details as usual, Jeff!!  It will be friendly even for procedural textures.  There's a growing Poser userbase who love to dabble in material nodes and existing users who use higher end apps with procedurals. :)
