3Dream, if you have Poser 12 you should be set. LF2 comes with scripts (in the materials folder) that will convert LF1 eye and brow textures to LF2. The scripts don't work in Poser 11, but they do work in Poser 12 (and 13).

Though the RMP says you need the Pro version for the morph packs, Ohki (who made the morphs) said they'll work with the Lite version.

LF2 also comes with a LF1 morph and pose, that changes her shape and pose to LF1's, so you can use LF1's dynamic clothing on her.

Not bad!

Rina's face looks a little longer and thinner to me. Maybe some "Face full" with a small negative setting?

Your subject line says Poser 12. If it's Poser 13 you're having a problem with, you might get answers in the Poser 13 forum.

I completely forgot; you prefer Firefly over Superfly.  My bad, I've almost completely switched over.

Well, it looks like setting the background color to black will render with a black background, if the construct is set to visible, but invisible in camera.

Workable, but what happened to render over black? The option is still there, but it appears to be nonfunctional.

And if anyone's curious...Poser 12 works the same way as Poser 11.

It is different in Poser 13. Like, the same file rendered in Poser 13 comes out with that beige BG, while it renders with a black BG in Poser 11.

The way I typically do it is to set the ground to visible, but invisible in camera. (I like seeing the grid when I'm setting up a scene.) Then I set it to "render over black" in Render Settings.

This is much more convenient. I want the construct to be visible (just not rendered), and I don't want it black. I find it a lot harder to work with a black background. I want to see the grid lines.

So, what is the difference between La Femme 2 Lite and La Femme 2 Pro? Aside from the merchant resource stuff.

Do you need the Pro version to inject the morph packs?

Pro has a nipple shape morph, a genital (camel toe) morph, three full body morphs, three full face morphs, a bunch of extra materials (skin colors, makeup options, eye colors, eyebrow and eyelash options) and the mentioned merchant resource stuff.

No, you don't need Pro to inject morph packs. :)

Not a merchant and not planning to ever be one, but the merchant resource stuff looks really great. I was wondering if someone would make a sloper set for her, like someone at ShareCG did for LF1, but there's no need. She comes with her own proto-clothes.

Poser weight mapping and DAZ weight mapping are different. That's why they can't use each other's figures, at least not without jumping through some hoops.

Non-weight mapped Poser figures will work in DAZ Studio, but weight-mapped won't. I don't think they even work in earlier versions of Poser.

I do like her shoulders. She looks much better with her arm raised the original LF.

And if anyone's wondering, you can run the scripts to fix the eye and brow textures in Poser 12/13, then work on the file in Poser 11, if you so wish. (I did it because Poser 11 is more stable than Poser 13 at this point. Also, I haven't figured out how to render against a black BG in Poser 13 yet.)

If anyone's wondering how the material conversion works...the scripts are in a folder called Tools in the materials part of the library. I was looking in the scripts folder, LOL.

Works pretty well. Here she is in the April La Femme textures.

I love the style of the hair she comes with, but the textures don't look as good in FF as in SF. Hoping Wolfie does some add on textures.

The coupon in the newsletter announcing LF2 doesn't work.

Did you decide to just put her on sale, rather than requiring a coupon?

Have you tried the PostFX Denoise option?  You can save the PostFX options to your scene document & will auto apply to every render.

But I really prefer Firefly. I don't want to produce photoreal renders to begin with, so FF better suits my needs.

I also find Superfly extremely finicky. Settings that work for one render will look terrible in the next. While with FF, once you find settings you like, they work for just about everything.

"Material conversion files from LF to LF2" - What do those do? Can you use LF textures on LF2?

Played with her a little. She looks a lot better in Superfly than in Firefly. I hope more FF-friendly textures will be available in the RMP. I still find Superfly unpleasantly grainy.
