Ok, I bought Umutov's package for the schoolbabe katie outfit about a month ago and today, I'm trying to use it for the first time. Can someone please tell me how exactly I'm suppose to use it? the Readme file has nothing in it other than this 1) Add V3 to your scene 2) In your Posers Figures Library you will see Umutov_P3D_FC_PP (For P4 use Umutov_P3D_FC_P4). Load the Clothing in to your scene and conform it to V3 3) In the clothings BODY DIALS you will see the Morphs in OTHER Section. Simply apply the morph dials which suits your character. In step 2 when I find the "top" in the folder he states, Poser is asking me to find schooltop.OBJ which is not in the file he gave me [not suppose to be I know], and it doesn't match the file name of the shirt it's suppose to "assist" I tried picking out the schoolbabe katie shirt when it asked me to find the schooltop.obj and it made the top a gold color but none of the morphs are working. I'm thinking I've wasted my money on this and I can't find the merchant anywhere on Rosity so I can try and ask him directly...I've never used a package that is nothing but morphs before. while I'm on the clothing soap box...not pointing fingers at anyone but you'll know who you are if you read this... It would be very nice for makers of Poser clothing if they would update their older items with body morphs, especially if they're going to continue to sell them at TOP dollar. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm starting to get tired of paying a high price [up to 20 bucks for some outfits!] for an item that doesn't have any body morphs in it. When BatLab charges something like 7 bucks for a great outfit that has SOME morphs in it. So if you're gonna ask a premium price for your product, follow through with a premium product that can be used on various body types. After all, I dare you go walk out into the world today and see how many people all have the same body shape...Items made to fit just the basic body frame without morphs is cheating in my book. Granted, I haven't tried making clothing or know how difficult it can be to add morphs to it. What do I know? I'm just the consumer that allows you to make more items if I buy your stuff. I only have a few hours of rec time to sit and do something in Poser I don't want to spend hours fiddling with the xyz dials that do nothing but totally distort the outfit, making it look hideous. If I want to move the breast area I get the whole shoulder and arm area go totally haywire. Which makes me really hate the clothing item and makes me frustrated that I spent so much time trying to make the clothing appear right which is an attempt at trying to save me a lot of postwork in the end when in the end I've come to the conclusion that I've just wasted the time and effort, and then I can't remember the idea I had for the image. Which then leads me to the message boards so I can spend more time ranting...No wonder there are so many Poser renders of naked females in the gallery.
