If you have SASHA-16, there's a similar set of "Lock / Unlock" poses in "Karina's Toolbox" (in the "Pose" library)

Cheers!

Thank you @emjay247!

It looks like you did a massive job by reading through the endless blog at my site, otherwise you couldn't be so well-informed :)

You're right, SASHA-16 (2019 Edition) is about to be released within a matter of a week or two. Still a few last-minute improvements to do, but generally she's ready for launch.

The M4 equivalent is already in development; many of SASHA's extra functions already are ported to M-18. My goal is that you can operate both "SASHA-16" and "MISHA-18" (that will be his official name) using the same dial setup so that switching between S-16 and M-18 will not urge you to adapt to a different figure. All features will work the same in both figures!

PLEASE NOTE:

Unlike the first SASHA-16, the (2019 Edition) will NOT be published at ShareCG, for reasons!

Instead it will be published / advertized here at RENDEROSITY in the "Freebies" section, AND simultaneously at SASHA's own forum

so that everybody has a choice of different download sources.

Cheers!

Hello @ironbird,

I'm afraid that you'll have to do a lot of detective work.

To start with, turn on "show hidden parameters" in the parameters pallette!

Now examine the "Injection Channels" and look for any dials set to 1.000. The names of those channels might give you a first hint of the character name. (Remember to look in both BODY -and- HEAD!!)

If you didn't only load the character, but also applied it's textures, you're better off:

Go to the Material Room (advanced), look for the torso texture, and in the texture node, click on "Image_Source" name (first line from above, right side).

In the dialogue which pops up click "Browse". A file chooser will pop up which will land you right in the character's texture folder. By clicking your way up through the folder hierarchy you will eventually see the character's name, and it's creator.

If all this fails: There's still a "last resort", but it's quite "brute force":

• Load your NEW (==TARGET) figure into a new scene
• Then load your OLD (==SOURCE) figure (the one who'se morphs you want to copy!)
• Now make sure you select your TARGET figure!
• Go to Poser menu "Figure > Copy Morphs From..." and select your SOURCE figure. This will transfer all morphs to your new figure.

Unfortunately Poser tends to mess up in areas where vertices are dense (e.g. in the eyelids), so make sure to check these areas in "hidden line" view for any kinks!

Sorry, but that's all I can offer. Maybe someone else has a better idea?

Good luck!

Karina

It looks like a promo image to me. Have you tried a Google "reverse picture search" yet? Possibly a promo for the character. If you're lucky he mentions the source for the dress in the credits, or you can contact the vendor.

Good luck! Karina

{snip} ...everything will still be available, you'll just have to shop for it somewhere else.

Yes, that's exactly my point.

Well - if someone absolutely wants to shoot himself into his foot: I won't stop him by trying to catch the bullet. Nuff said...

K

--> Would you like a cherry on top too?

--> Ask DAZ to create a "clone" for whatever their current incarnation of G is!

You certainly won't expect the Poser people to invest time and money into creating something for a program which neither supports Poser, nor LaFemme.??

"(not gonna pay for content for a model that doesn't work in Poser, right..)"

Exactly!

K

LOL! - Great prank!

OTOH - if some one could actually come up with a script like this: OMG!!!

P.S.: @duanemoody:

Nice technobabble, well in the tradition of Star Trek STTNG.

LL&P!

Wouldn't it be much easier to just make a new map?

.

With the different colours for left/right irises "baked" in, instead of implementing a whole new UV/shader layout?

.

Open the iris map in your image editor of choice and createA NEW IRIS DIFFUSE MAP, with the different irises left/right.

Apply that to the eyes and you're set.

.

Why over-complicate things which can be solved with 20th-century methods?

Because something is "old 20th century technique" doesn't mean you must throw it away!

(just another 20th-century relic...)

Sasha-16 is a wonderful figure and this information is really useful. Too sad that most people won't look for it in a "La Femme" thread.

You're right, but this issue started with "weird" looking fingers after applying V3 hand poses to LaFemme, so I thought it might be useful ;o)

[...] but also translations (which have business to do there!).

Yeah, what's up with the fingers? Why do some of these canned poses, when applied, turn La Femme and V4 hands into bizarre things with mis-aligned knuckles? And how do you fix a hand like that?

If you get misaligned knuckles that look like the fingers are broken then it's often a faulty pose injection which comprises not only the rotation data (as it should be) but also translations (which have business to do there!).

Best thing you can do is to either discard those poses completely or try to repair them by manually eliminating all the translation data.

As a "stop-gap" fix, look in "Karina's Toolbox" which comes with SASHA-16:

The Script "315 Fix Actor Offsets" does exactly that for the currently loaded figure (though it doesn't fix the .hd2 file; it's all in-scene only)

EDIT:

@Boni : sorry, crosspost...

LMAOROTFL!!!

I've also made countless attempts to "rig " tank tracks, without success. All that I found during my searches was basically the same : Mission Impossible!

SO NO, they aren't spinning for animations.

The only alternative I ever saw was a kind of "blurred" morph for the tracks to simulate movement (kind of the aircraft "propeller spin" you see in many aircraft props).

Thus this BMP isn't suited for animation. For stills you could at least add a magnet to each track and wheels assembly to simulate movement up/down when moving over rough terrain (Left/ right tracks and wheels are separate props).

I think if you ever find a way to animate track movement on tanks you'll be the hero of the day...

.... from a slow learner ... Can someone give a simple explanation of what a normal map does, as opposed to specular, trans, bump and displacement. Thank you

Seconded!
