Quote - Okay...back from the bigger, better ultrasound.  Twins, yes, Boys and they are NOT sharing a sac, so no entanglement issues.  They can't tell how many placentas, (1 or 2) but they think it's 1 which means Identical twin boys.  They are both the right size and well formed for 20 weeks. 

Thanks for the well-wishing :)  We'll get by somehow, we always do

Twin Boys! What a blessing! All the best to you and your family!

He may be going to the testers, but he's still missing his testes... :lol: Presumably Outfitter will work on that, too...

Hi guys, is PoserPlace temporarily down?  Tried to log on yesterday evening, link broken.  Tried quickly at work this morning, got connected.  Tried again this evening from home, link broken.  Any news anyone can share?

I saw the same thing. Hopefully it's just rutine maintainence.

As far as I know, Mike has been working on the server.  It's been down a few times over the last 24 hours, was up for a bit awhile ago, but seems to be down again now.  :sad:

Thanks for the update.  I briefly checked last night and saw that some recent posts have completely disappeared.  Hopefully Mike will solve everything soon.

I think the site should be back up now.  To solve the problems, Mike had to restore the site from a backup, causing five days or so of posts to be lost.  :sad:  Other than that, everything should be fine.

Thanks again.

daft question, are we restricted to using the new wm poses , as none of my library of v4 poses, work, the arms are twisted beyond recognition

Oh, I didn't know that would be a problem.  I heard the poses would only be a little bit out with V4wm.  did you get the latest version of V4wm?

Love esther

yep esther, i just tried a few of the mdc poses from adamthwaites last pose collection, and the eyes also seem to bulge out of the forehead, i downloaded the latest version last week, unfortunately poserplace is still offline so i;ve no idea who to ask, or whther there is a python fix for poses like the clto hes converter python, the only ones ive tried so far that seem to work really well, although limited are the freebies that came with the download, maybe i'm doing something entirely wrong

I don't have a problem with using V4 poses with V4WM. The only difference is the twist/side-side of the neck and head are different. But that is very easy to fix.

Which specific poses of Adam give the problem?

If you go to extreme bends and twists you need to do some adjustments, but nothing like the problem you are having

picture is V4WM and V4 same pose

You are sure IK is off?

yep i use a saved version of v4 with ik off and figure zeroed....i seem to have solved  the problem, for some reason the 1 Victoria 4 Weight Map.pz2 that the hot loader looks for had vanished, so i backtracked and used the weight mapping python from a clean v4 ran the script and deleted the original v4 once the wm version appeared....i might have to re dl and reinstall once poserplace is back up

Yes, it looks like the weightmap conversion has gone wrong somewhere.

The V4WM download page is still up http://poserplace.phantom3d.net/V4.2WM/V4.2WM.html

many thanks for the link, :)

i have this trouble, as you can see in the picture, when apply "conform to" the closes rise up.

this thing happen compiling V4 with magnets and without magnets

can anyone help me?

many thanks

Head on over to PoserPlace (in my signature) - you need Outfitter.

Many thanks.

Here is the direct link for Outfitter - you'll find it very easy to use.

NICE TO MEET YOU.
my name is jean.here is my privet e-mail'(nechwa_jean@yahoo.com)
i will like to know you more. so that i can send you my picture and my detail's for you to know me more so I am waiting for your mail to my email address below. please don't chat me here just send me mail and i will get back to you with love.

To Poser developer admins: you need to include a report button for obvious spam like this one.

They already are working on removing it.

I can't seem to get outfitter working today. I had to reinstall it and now it doesn't open.

Love esther

Esther,

I had the same thing happen. It worked again after restarting Windows; simply restarting Poser didn't help...

I believe Esther's on a Mac, WandW... could be wrong about that.

It's okay, it was all my fault. I hadn't used outfitter for so long I forgot how to use it,a nd then I had trouble locating the instructions.   All good now - thanks.

Yes, on a mac.

Love esther

what versions of poser does this work in?

and will it be a renderosity  store item?

need to do this with m4 too lol

If you are referring to the Outfitter, it will only work in P9/PP2012.  It is freeware and it can be found @ RDNA.

I think it's ironic to note that independant developers can solve an issue that a certain company(s) is not or willing to trying and solve.

I am not committing to saying this is towards one company nor is it meant towards more than one company, just a simple statement of fact that the private market is solving an issue that is wanted by demand.

hooray for quality developers and the tools within said programs that allow us to do this!

I second that darkedge, I think they just wanted to go in amnother direction with thier own product and no longer support poser, they have no obligation to support it and they do have thier own product to promote.

Tucan-Tiki Yep! And several of us helped test it until most of the bugs were worked out. Mike (Phantom3D) started work on M4-WM- I got involved with other things and have not been part of that project-so I don't know the status. " I second that darkedge, I think they just wanted to go in amnother direction with thier own product and no longer support poser, they have no obligation to support it and they do have thier own product to promote." True! Although they did allow the team to create V4-WM.

 I have converted Arrins Silk Ribbons Sandals to V4WM (no toes -- body part nor geometry).  When I pose V4's feet and conform the sandals, everything is OK.  However, the picture shows what I get when I scale the feet to FeetSize = -.05.  How can I fix this?

Have you got the box checked in properties for the body of the shoe (in the parameters dials just to the right) where you can check conform to scale?

Yes, I have both "Include scales..." and "Include morphs..." checked.  Unchecking them and manually scaling the feet/toes does not solve the problem.

There is a scaling problem with shoes/stockings sans toe geometry, converted to V4WM.  These pics show problems with Hongyu's stockings.

1 -- Converted, no scaling.

2 -- Converted, scale 95% (FeetSize = -.05)

ooh yes I see.  Sorry I haven't got any ideas as I haven't used the figure much.

Love esther

Looks to me like scaling is not set up on the clothes. There are a few ways of dealing with it by modifying the shin/foot/toe scaling and joint info on the problem actor to fix it.

Or you can do the foot scaling with a magnet and add whatever needs scaled to the magnet, which is a much easier way to do it if you are not familiar with the joint palette and scaling.

A Victoria 3 version of this would be sooo appreciated! :biggrin:

Solved my scaling problem by creating a scale FeetSize 90% morph in V4WM.  I use Morphing Clothes to copy the moprh to shoes that don't scale proplerly.

V3WM would be nice.

Yes I too would love a weight mapped V3.

Well, you can weightmap V3 using PhilC's script; it's the additional rerigging that would get her to bending correctly.

Yep that is the bit I wouldn't want to attempt by myself.

I would need a clothing outfitter pluggin as well, so it would have to be left to the professionals.   

Love esther

Just curious at what happened to the download link at poserplace?

Just curious, I am not getting the expected(?) results. If I install V4 to an external runtime, then install the V4WM files into that runtime, then move the entire runtime into my main PP2012 runtime, then run the script, will that work?

Also, do I HAVE to install the Morphs++ into the runtime, or will V4WM work without them?

Hi, I've just got P9 - though I'm not a Poser newbie.  Been using it for ages in its various flavours.  I'm totally new to the Weight Mapping concept.  I've got the DAZ people (M4 and V4) in a folder on my external HDD.  I've added the folder to the P9 library.  How do I install the V4-WM script?  Sorry to be such an idiot, but some help would be really appreciated as I'd love to see my V4 renders new and improved.  You fellows are great for doing all this - thank you.

I believe all the V4 files MUST go into the original P9 folder, because the script that needs to be run is a python script, and that needs to be located in the original runtime.
