Is there any way to fix the shoulders in the aniblock Yoga pack from DAZ?

If not I'm going to have to see about a refund, the shoulders look so bad; V4, M4, genesis, that I can't use them.

If you have the full AniMate 2 you can add a sub-track to adjust any parameter you want.  Click the + on the right hand side of the AniMate time line, add a new emply block (3rd icon from the right),  double-click this new aniBlock (it will be under the aniBloc you already have in place) to set new keyframes, adjust parameters as needed.

I've tried that and there just is no fix to it, it's the nature of the figure. You just can't put the arms in that posistion and not mess up the mesh.

That's a mesh problem (and it does need fixing) and not an AniBlock one though.  I've used the Yoga aniBlocks myself with other characters without a problem though.

I'm going to do one with genesis and see how it looks in carrara. I thought the aniblock was for V4?

Better get the "duck feet fix" aniBlock from GoFigure3d's forum page - the block is supposed to be for V4, it'll work with Genesis, but the feet go wanky.  The block above fixes it. Sorry can't provide a direct link, but if you search their forum, you'll find it.

Who's looking at the feet? Really, I don't see a fix for this.

Genesis is only slightly better than V4 because of its multi- purpose/shape weight mapping.  Genesis 2 Female and Genesis 2 Male are much better at extreme poses as the weight mapping is optimized for their shapes and rigging.

Haven't got a big selection of optitex clothes for G2 yet; need to some morphs first lol

But I have a couple, so will give it a try.

Is there a good written tutorial for editing aniblocks?

I don't get video tutorials well.

Sorry, I appreciate the help, but I just can't adjust this out on any figure. So I only see two opptions, refund; if I can figure out how, or avoid showing the shoulders in the animation. Not sure zooming in on the characters hips all the time is what I want

Have you tried the "Dawn" character? I don't know if the mesh is going work any better, but worth a try - it's free.

Some clothing to cover the shuolders will definately help.

Editing the blocks would have to be done via the sub-track and in your case doesn't look like it'll work on the V4/Genesis very well.

It looks to me that you are only bending the Shoulder up and not the Collar also.

Too late now. I will say DAZ store credits fast. I've deleted this.

Before anyone gets the wrong idea, I previously bought the runway constudtion kit and have been haveing a lot of fun with it. It works quite well and I can recomend it.

Although this does make me question getting the cheerleader pack later. It worries me that I will have this issue with any aniblock with similar poses. But knowing DAZ's best department is customer service, and I can expect an immeadiet store credit, I wont worry too much about it ;)

Thanks DAZ customer sevice, I used the credit to get Jacks moonlight diner and interior 1.   And since I had credit left I got the horror story pack 3, and may get 1 and 2 while the bundles are still onsale.

 

Good suport encourages me to shop at DAZ. Bad support puts me off buying further applications.
