Yes, I'm using external binary morph targets

Pro 11

She can blink, open her mouth, but can't smile or alter "corners up/down" etc. And no custom morphs on her body work at all

No, they are no longer functioning

I've had similar issues. I can't load certain pieces of clothing into scenes which worked fine in PP2014, and PP11 can't locate the files associated with many other pieces of clothing. I'll direct PP11 to the proper directories, and usually the scene works, but if I save and re-load the scene, PP11 can't find the clothing again. This is honestly getting ridiculous. I wouldn't have upgraded if I knew there would be so many issues.

For reasons history knows best, the support files for Roxie were still mixed up in the Poser 11 application support files. In fact there was a lot of stuff there one not really needs to run Poser.

These legacy support files are now provided as a zipped runtime archive.

You can either unzip this runtime and put it in your library search path, or you can pull the required files directly from the zip into a smaller dedicated runtime.

I have for example collected all Rex/Roxy stuff from the nudes, garments, etc. zips into a dedicated Rex/ Roxy lib together with the considerable stash I had for Roxy. I had same for non-native figures. Took a little time but it works great for me. Also a good occasion to clean up.

I have a few Roxie clothing items from forum contributors that worked great with PP2014, but I can't figure out how to use them in PP11. For instance, the tennis outfit and Gi_everyday clothes. I placed the folders in the props/clothing folder for PP11, but no luck getting them to show up under the props menu. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you, Donnena. That makes sense :)

What I have done for years, and I guess others have too, is add an extra 60 frames to the beginning of the animation so the hair drapes into place, and then render starting with frame 61. In so many ways, I believe realistic hair is what is holding Poser back from being amazing. The skin tones are getting far more lifelike, the joint bending more realistic looking. I really love PPro 2014...except anything to do with hair, lol.

Ugh, thanks. You'd think that somewhere between Poser 1 and Poser 2014, that would have changed. Oh well. Guess I'll have to do a longer animation.

Thank you Cage. So a Bend, Side to Side, or Twist is accomplished by the various rotations. That's helpful, thank you very much.

You are correct, the PDF is not easy to scan. :)

My fault. Bend is not a valid code. YTRAN, ZTRAN and XTRAN are what I need to use. So the following code works -

import poser
import random
scene=poser.Scene()
scene.SetFrame(23)

MyFig = scene.Figure('Terri')
ChangeParm = MyFig.Actor("Left Shin").ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeYTRAN)
ChangeParm.SetValue(5)

I'm used to working with Bend values, so I just have to figure out appropriate YTRAN values instead. The next step is to add some randomness to the parameter changes to make movements look more natural.

No dice, at least not yet. Altered the code to:

import poser
import random
scene=poser.Scene()
scene.SetFrame(23)
scene.SelectFigure(scene.Figure('Terri'))
actor = scene.Actor('Left Shin')
parm = actor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeBEND)
parm.SetValue(88)

but got the error -

 in
    parm = actor.ParameterByCode(poser.kParmCodeBEND)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'kParmCodeBEND'

Aren't there some simple examples online? I've found a few sites claiming to be intros to Poser Python, but they are "Hello World" programs. I want to manipulate Poser, not figure out how to say "Hello World"  ;)

Thank you aRtBee.

Has anyone created some good Dynamic Hair for Roxie? My attempts haven't been very gratifying, but I'm still working at it.

You are the best EClark! What a great addition.

Thank you so much to everyone who has worked to expand the clothing library for the new figures.
