Voluptuous Vicki Biker.jpg

Everything you see except for the wall, floor, and her belly button piercing is no longer available. DAZ recently removed Victoria 2 from their marketplace. Wrymmaster's Voluptuous Vicki, the jacket, hair, boots, shorts, sunglasses, and bike haven't been available for quite some time.

Ah, back in the day of Victoria 2, vendors created massive amount of skimpy clothes for her to wear and a plethora of pinup poses. Whereas the male character, Michael, was lucky if he got a t-shirt. But, that’s nothing like what we have today. Wink Wink.

For the image, Vicky didn't want to sit well on the bike. I forgot how difficult she could be to pose. After converting her to weight maps and applying a subdivision, she behaved. Some of the clothing morphs didn't line up to well, but the morph brush took care of them.

With some Superfly materials, the old girl still got it. I never thought about how the once popular figures would no longer be available. I guess Victoria 2 is now exclusive for those who still have her.

Thanks for letting reminisce.

@willdial - How do you convert V2 to Weightmapping? I'd love me a WM V2 but no idea how to do it. Also, is SubD available in PoserPro201, which is what I use?

PoserPro201? if you mean 2014, yes SubD is available.

Nah, sorry. Poser Pro 2012. Can't type, loaded up with meds, not feeling too good.

That is fantastic looking. I still think these older figures and items have value. Especially as background characters and items in a scene. In this case you've made a better point and proven the value in a foreground character! Really lovely work!

Yeah, with the emphasis on foreground. You don't often see airbags on a bike.

Ok, I had to bring out my favorite V2 character and render her in Superfly (with EZskin3 applied). Still usable, I think so!

Oh, sorry. The character is Arizona ... along with the costume and hair. All from the same character set. Ulli, that is really nice .... I didn't even consider doing a SubD, but it didn't seem to need it in my render.

OK, I don't have that set, and it seems they only have the hair (and a texture pack for it) in the store any more.

Anyhow...

Tips on converting V2 to Weightmaps? Pretty please with sugar on.

In Poser Pro, under the Figure menu is "Merge All Zones to Weight Maps". I don't know if that option is available on the regular version of Poser.

Not in PoserPro2012, unfortunately. :(

For older versions of Poser Pro, Phil Cooke wrote a Python script to convert standard rigging to weightmapped...

The resulting rig won't bend much better, but one can then improve it with the weightmapping tools..

With the right setting, V2 can certainly outshine the current models.

EZSkin3, SubD, weightmapped and rendered in Superfly.
