Just spent 2-3 weeks learning to use and create characters using the Mountain Man set bought via MarketPlace. Love the clothing and props. Excited to use. I have questions about a few things, am asking because efforts to contact the artist who created the material never did answer my inquiries.

 

  1. In DAZ 3D Advanced, I was able to use Michael 3 to create the character. Except the coonskin (and fox skin) caps refused to exhibit in color. They stayed metallic grey no mater what I did. Same was true with the powder horn. The rest of the outfit was fine, super fine to be honest. Any reason why?

 

  1. In Poser Pro 2010, the above problems didn't appear. The outfits actually seem to fit better than in DAZ. What was an issue was upon animation the suit animated but Michael 3 didn't budge an inch. So I had a Mountain Man out fit strutting around and a naked man standing with his arms outstretched. Any reason for this?

Sounds like you a) Didn't comform the clothing to the figure.

b) Applied the animation to the clothing instead of the figure.

You might be right. Today, I moved on to creating a caveman to animate. In the process, just as I was getting frustrated, ready to cuss out DAZ and Poser, and delete them from my HD, a miracle occurred. Why and how I overlooked this before, who knows. But in any case the caveman worked pretty much as I wanted it to, animation included. So will go back and re-do the frontier man along the lines you mentioned and see what happens. However, DAZ is simply not going to maintain the coonskin or foxskin hats colors so will use Poser for that. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
