Not really sure why I actually weightmapped V3 as SP3 was always my favorite DAZ woman.
But as SP3 shares 99% of her joints with David and I already had lots of teen/kids figures so no need for a weightmapped Luke/Laura, I guess I was just curious to see how much life was left in Granny. ;-)
Turns out she's still a fighter. That means she was fighting me all the way during the re-rig. Lol.
Especially her "derrier" was quite hard to get under control but I finally managed it thanks to some hardcore bulge-mapping. No more exploding buttocks or collapsing thighs. After that the rest was quite easy.
So, here goes:
Victoria-3 Weightmapped.
THIS IS A POSER 9/PP-2012 ONLY FIGURE ! It will not work in older versions of Poser or any version of Studio.
The new cr2 is RTE encoded so you have to own Victoria-3 to use it.
Instructions where to download RTE-Decoder and how to decode the file are included.
THIS IS NOT A BEGINNERS FIGURE.
She can pose, morph, and wear V3 clothes just like standard Vicky-3, but there will be pokethrough in more extreme poses.
The best solution would be to transfer her weightmaps over to the clothing but the clothing most likely will need further refinemant with the joint editor.
If you don't know how/don't want to bother with fixing clothing, I suggest to use the legacy Vicky-3 shape for GENESIS instead.
I weightmapped Vicky-3 as good as I could so I'm not looking for critical feedback. I rather encourage you to fix what you think needs fixing and re-share the results again so she can improve over time.
As long as you keep the ReadMe attached and re-encode the results to protect DAZ' intellectual property, you are welcome to re-share Vicky3-WM.
I made her for myself because I wasn't happy how Genesis currently works in Poser and the SM-offerings were not really an alternative.
I'm only one person and my energy and time are limited, so all I can give to you is a starting point.
Wether she will become more is now up to you.
As I said, feel free to improve her and re-share the results.
The download includes a new cr2 file with improved joints, instructions to decode the RTE file and the poses I created for the demo render above.
Enjoy !
