So I have been spending a couple of days working with the Apollo Maximus figure. For relative newcomers to Poser, this is a figure first released sometime in 2005, if I recall correctly. It was pretty advanced technology in its time. Probably because of the python difference or whatever (I don't know anything about it) of Poser software over the years, features of the figure like Line Of Site, and some of the ADS items don't seem to work in Poser 12. However, it is still a pretty useful male figure.

One bugbear is that his default pose (needed for rigging of conforming shirts) is a what I call Give Me A Hug pose, especially for the arms. This means clothing constructed in T-pose are harder to convert using Fitting Room and Cloth Room. I figured out a way to use a proxy figure, the Cloth Room, and the Morph Brush. I have written up the details at my own webpage at Google sites, but I will share it with you here as well: 2021 January 22 - Adapting T-pose clothing for Apollo Maximus Figure in Poser Specifically, T-pose Dynamic Clothing with sleeves in Poser 12 (will probably work with Poser 11 as well).

Most Poser Figures come in T-pose as default. The indie-developed Apollo Maximus figure, was at launch in 2005 pretty advance technology for its time. However, his default pose not a T-pose, but a "Gimme Me A Hug" pose. My work-around is to use the Poser Low Resolution Male.

1. Load Apollo Maximus. Zero the figure. This should be in Frame Zero of the animation time-line

2. Load Poser Lo Res Male. Zero the figure. This should also be in Frame Zero.

3. In the last frame of the 30-frame animation timeline (the Poser default), Pose the arms of the Lo Res Male to approximate Apollo's arms.

4. Load the Dynamic Clothing Prop and adjust it to fit the Lo Res Male in T-pose. Drape and simulate to Frame 30. The clothing prop will now approximate the Apollo figure's arm pose.

5. Apply Morph Brush to pull out cloth prop away Apollo figure, if there are poke-throughs.

6. Export the clothing prop at frame 30 and only as a single frame.

7. Import the saved OBJ and adjust to Apollo figure in Frame 1, if necessary. You may now run a new simulation using Apollo and the clothing.

8. Don't forget to save the Frame 1 of the imported adjust clothing prop.
