I have tried out MIke in his scuba gear which I bought from Daz. I found that:- (0) With this combination, my Poser 4.0.3 always jammed in rendering; see also the thread at this link. (1) Of the scuba set's six "tails" (two regulators & their hoses, two bouyancy deflator pull cords, depth gauge hose, BCD (= stab-jacket) mouthpieces, none were IK-chains. To make his mouthpiece stay in his mouth as his head moved, I had to make the regulator and its hose into an IK-chain myself (so I could set it IK-on and IK-parent the reg to his head): an awkward job with a 25-link chain in that fiddly little keyhole-surgery-like "hierarchy editor" window which can't be maximized or pulled at to make it bigger. (2) The primary regulator is called AltReg and the alternate or space regulator is called PriReg. That is, each has the other's name. Confusing. The reg whose root points upwards is the main reg. I should know, after the amount of scuba diving that I have done. (3) The flotation bags should be bigger and higher up. Never mind if they hide his or her breasts. (4) Mike's and Vicky's scuba sets' .OBJ files seem to be identical except that Vicky's is a bit lower in Y. If both could access the same .OBJ file, that would save space in people's computers. (5) The fins are in the right place **if** I set Mike's legs to IK-off and re-zero his pose with the "re-zero" in the Joint Editor. They are not in the right place as Mike loads initially.
