Too late.

@ RorrKonn

One reason only actually:

To show that a mesh is just that. A wireframe to hang a texture on. And you can morph any mesh, be it from 8.000 to 80.000 polygons, into any shape.
And yes,  I also have a similar Roxie. LOL. The "similarity" is also helped because I used the same hair.

Latest result:

• Material zones reduced to six; Body, Head, Eyes, Teeth&Gums, Lashes, Corneas
• More Math room work, but still using the original textures (I put a default Alyson in also to show the difference.)

Next : More cr2 cleaning, some more upper body work, and most of all "face work".
=> The face is too hard, and too high in Y.

Have a good week all.

Very nice results, my complements.

The only drawback is probably gonna be computing time with mutiple figures with cloth and hair in a full scene.

Very nice results, and very realistic posing and movements in your demo video's.

@ Earl

• Breast height is texture related.  Breasts come in two ways clothed and nude.

a) When you build and UV_Map breasts for a clothed woman, the texture streches when you "morph lower the breast" to render nudes. => Texture steching.

b) When you build and UV_Map breasts for a nude woman, the texture streches when you make an "in clothing morph". But this does not matter, as "in clothing? They are covered anyway. The texture streching becomes "hidden" behind the clothing.

That is why it is better to model and UV_Map breasts nude. => Yes, gravity takes over here. But you have no UV_Map streching when rendering nudes.
(b) is therefor the better option.

@ Pumeco, a bush goes on the texture and displacement maps.

Hey all,
I had some time to spare and started morphing Alyson. (Yes the original one.)
In Poser, I deleted all the dependencies, and all the magnets (Whaw, lots and lots of those in the collar-shoulder area.)
Then I adapted the obj file in Bender.
I am not going for the young, but the more mature age group.

Some observations :

• Once you get rid of the dependencies and magnets, Alyson becomes very usable and morphable.
• The object file is easy to adapt when you know where you are going.
  ( I probably will never understand why all the dependencies and corrections were for... The obj file was so easy to adapt in the first place)
• Ach, the breast height. => See were the breasts are on the original!
• Both have the same facial expressions morphs dials in (for the time being).
• Original textures used, but all materials changed in the advanced material room.
• Still a lot to do. Alyson has a "hard" face, difficult to change overall.
  Any comments?

@ Pumeco
I also see the micmac.
But I do not have Zbrush.
Blender2.75RC1 is out, that and Poser is all I need.

@ Primorge
Good luck trying to escape from Renderosity.
Making a submarine fly is simpler and faster.

About a possible "next" Poser version?
There is no news out yet, so let's wait till Nerd3D has settled in and give him and the team some time to focus on the main improvements they gather all over the end user base.
Game Dev is still pretty new, and SR5.2 (for all versions of Poser10 to PP2014GD) is very stable.
Fingers crossed.

Oh so sorry guys, I am in the wrong place.

I thought this was the Poser forum. So Sorry for interupting.

Carry on please.

You guys are so predictable.
I shall use Terrance. :-)

Honestly, I feel sorry for the OP who tried to ask an honest question.

With the DS intruders pulluling every tread here, "With the eyes of the admins closing for their posts" ,  I fear the only person that could have given a true answer backed out some time ago.

@ the DS  Boys; "Polluting and Pushing ALWAYS backfires".
No wonder your "wonder child" sales are dropping.

DSON => Does that grow on trees? - Is there some medecin for it? - Does it need water? Feeding?

The OP asked an honest question about where SM wants to go with Poser, in a Poser tread on a Poser forum.

Trains do not fly, and boats do not need rails.

Windows does not need Aplle, and neither does Apple need Windows.

Ford puts Ford enginies in it cars, and Chevvy uses Chevvy engines.

What happened between SM and DAZ happened 3-4 years ago, it's time to move on.

No need to pollute each and very tread with your wonder child.
If we wanna know?
We"ll visit your forums.

@ MLP
No worries, all my PC's are on ATI/AMD cards also.

Poser needs RAM and CPU cores, that's all.

We all love these "human art" apps.
But if there ever would come a "ban" over this kind of software, it will be because of things like these.

And all it takes is one Judge, once.

One; It was a general remark, not directed to any vendor at all.

Two ; Vagina's have NO place in 3D art. NONE ! NADA!

And you can hammer that in stone!

Have a nice day.
