The FII plugin for PBooost II is available now at the Renderosity store!Figure Independent Injection plugin (1.0.0.2) for PBooost II.
This utility is a tool plugin for Hogsoft PBooost II and requires PBooost II to operate.
**What is Figure Independent Injection and what can it do for me?
** Millennium 3 characters (such as Daz Victoria 3, Micheal 3 and the Freak) use a system called Morph Injection to insert/remove different morphs into the figure by the use of morph injection poses. The characters also contain Full Body Morphs (FBMs). These appear as dials in the BODY of the figure and control morphs in many body parts at once. Additionally, the characters may contain Joint Controlled Morphs (JCMs) which allow movement of one body part to affect morphs in others. This system works extremely well when there is only one figure in the scene but, due to idiosyncrasies within these Daz products, if two or more Millennium 3 characters are needed with different morphs, then the FBMs and JCMs stop working: Any morphs injected into Figure 2 take their FBM and JCM control from Figure 1. This means that, in order to give the characters different morphs, you must forget about the FBM dials and JCM and tweak each dial on every body part to the required extent. This can take many more hours than if the FBMs just worked properly. Well, now they can!
Figure Independent Injection describes a discovery by Maveris, developed and tested by lesbentley and layingback, whereby the morph injection files themselves (those files stored in the libraries!Daz folder) are subtly altered to allow multiple figures to control their own FBMs and JCMs.
When the Figure Independent Injection plugin is installed, it creates for PBooost II an FII copy of the !Daz injection folders which can be switched in/out just like any other PBooost bank. When the new PBooost II FII injection bank is switched in, any Millennium 3 figures loaded into poser will be free from the single figure FBM and JCM limitations explained above.
What makes it so powerful and easy to use:
Easy to install plugin. Just run setup.exe and then start PBooost... choose "initialize" from the PBooost tool plugins>FII menu. That's it!
Switching your injection folders from normal to FII is as simple as one click!
Install, initialise and forget... if you always want FII to be active.
No more hand-editing loads of files or running complex scripts to get FII flexibility.
No Python required: works in all Poser versions.
Doesn't alter your existing injection files at all... it creates it's own special FII copies.
The PBooost II library tree now shows the default !DAZ and FII injection banks:
And now details on PBooost II itself...
PBooost II (2.0.1.14) full package. An upgrade version is available if you already own PBooost.
PBooost II is a library manager for Poser... and a whole lot more. Designed from scratch for both professional and hobbyist Poser user alike, PBooost II offers a straightforward and clear Explorer-style interface for optimum workflow.
The PBooost Bank System allows content in each library category to be grouped into banks to reduce the number of items shown in the Poser library tab. You only see the content you want! Fully customisable Bank Groups allow you to group banks across the categories to further improve your workflow.
PBooost II can fully replace the Poser library tab for figures, hair and props. Items, even many at once, can be loaded directly from PBooost II into the running Poser scene in all Poser versions thanks to Hogsoft's innovative P4PyE technology. You can even drag files from PBooost and drop them into Poser!
What makes it so powerful and easy to use:
Designed to be fully compatible with Poser 4, 5, 6 and Propack.
Explorer-style browser interface with full drag/drop and cut/copy/paste functionallity makes it really easy to organise your library just the way you want it.
Thumbnails shown for content (rsr or png). One thumb represents the content file, thumbails and any other associated files.
Load figure/hair/prop content straight into the Poser scene with a double-click
Find Content tool makes it easy to search your runtimes for content.
Multiple runtime support! Many libraries can be viewed simultaneously, each open in it's own PBooost II window.
Switching banks is as simple as clicking on a bank's red dot.
Function to switch to all banks with that name across all categories in one click.
Library Quick Switch panel gives even quicker access to switching banks.
Folder Lock Wizard eradicates folder locks through a clear checklist of known causes.
All functions quickly available with a right-click.
Convert selected content into a new bank in one click.
Bank Groups give you the power to switch many banks at once in a single click.
Preview content or open it in your favourite text editor from the browser.
Content Properties dialogue shows you information on content or content folders.
Automatically checks content to see if there are any items in the wrong categories or with incorrect extensions when you move/copy files.
Clear and concise windows help file included.
The installer includes the Hogsoft Hub which, in addition to being a central point to access utilities, programs, links and documents, gives you a mini PBooost Remote Control so you can switch banks anytime... without even having to open PBooost!
Extra tools and features:
Loader Plugin system allows PBooost II to be expanded to pre-condition files while they are being loaded into Poser**.** **
** Content Plugin system expands PBooost II to open/edit files in specialised utilities.
Tool Plugin system expands the tools and functions of PBooost II in a modular way.
Installs a Python script into Poser 5, 6 and Propack Python menu palette to allow launching of PBooost II from Poser.
Check content to see if there are any items in the wrong categories or with incorrect extensions.
Automatically checks and repairs library problems which could occur after windows re-install or system restore.
