Ryan definitely seems to work in Daz, thankfully.

Wardrobe Wizard???

Thanks.

I'll go and try that one later. For the moment, I've taken my character over to Daz to try and get my project finished. But I'm not giving up on Poser - I'm still convinced it's got more of what I need.

Thanks, Tony. That is immensely helpful! I almost feel like I understand where the stuff is going now.

So, when I went back and did 'spawn prop' in the fitting room, I did end up with a prop that could be saved in the prop library. The problem was... when I added it back to my figure (for whom it was designed), it no longer fit... It was slightly off - possibly a slight rotation off even. Not sure why it did that. So far, for me, the conforming clothes seem to work better - though I'm not totally sure why.

Now, I need to add a second piece of clothing... In this case, I started with a pair of capris for Ryan. I then added a shirt which would overlap with the capris slightly. I can't use the fitting room to make it fit to Ryan (because then it doesn't fit over the capris - even when I go back and conform it to Ryan) and I can't use the fitting room to make it fit to the capris (as there is nothing inside... it went all weird.) Even after listening again to the Poser tutorial on the cloth room, I haven't the faintest idea how to handle a still object in there... 

How do I go about adding the second piece and have it work?

From what I was looking at the cloth room tutorial yesterday, it looked like that was more designed for animation rather than stills... but I could've gotten a wrong impression.

Slightly frustrated, tbh, spent a lot of time looking for tutorials only to find that the official one is giving me slightly weird info...? 

The problem I was finding when I tried the "spawn prop" is that I have no idea where it's gone (file wise)... Do I just go back to the pose room and save the item to my library?

I was under the impression (after following the Poser tutorial) that I was creating dynamic clothing in the fitting room...

The option I was told (in the tutorial) to use was "create figure" despite it being dynamic clothing...

However, going over to "figures" seems to give me the option to add it to the library now - will have to see how that works out for me...

Thanks.

Okay, so no helpful tools or pages to use...  Yes, I know that different people age differently, but it would be useful to know where on the spectrum (a typical) someone might be in their 30s or 40s or 50s or whatever...

Thanks for your help.

Good thought. Will try that next.

I'm grateful for anyone who designs their products to deposit themselves in a logical fashion!

Unfortunately, I'm having problems getting my new management folders to work at all within Poser, so off to find me some tutorials! Hopefully someone can show me what I've done wrong.

Okay - just playing with this.

I made a backup of my runtime folder onto my desktop... did a bunch of organizing there, but when I add the (backup) folder back to my Poser library (easy to find), it comes up with nothing - as in, 0 files/folders. What did I do wrong? 

Okay. That's not going too well. I thought this would be something I could do from the Pose room... but maybe there's another way.

Basically, I can name a group, but can't add anything to it - nor does it seem to stay as a group...

That's a truly brilliant idea (although my perspective is that of a newbie) - I have worked with groups for hair, but hadn't thought to try and use it for this.

(Off to play...)

I'd thought of something similar... it will be a pain, of course, if I need to change her clothes, etc. Just hoped there might be an easier way "on set".

Thanks.

Oh, and when I use the drop down menu for the main frame (i.e. below the "preview" tab), I do see Sydney with no trouble.

I definitely am doing it the correct way. But in the drop down menu, it has all the other figures I'm using (a bunch of trees) without getting to Sydney - who was added last, so at the bottom of the list. It really is like the drop down menu has simply run out of space... 

At least one person in my Poser FB group reported having the same problem.

That took a bit of finding! But I'm there now. 

I'm working with Ryan hair 3 at the moment and find that when I color everything as I want it, that for some reason, the hair is transparent when compared with the scalp which is currently shining through the whole thing. Do you know what I've done wrong - and/or how to fix it?
