I was unsure where to put this thread, but as poser is my main thing here and blender to me is just a tool to get things made, I thought i would put it here. (blender people i know it's more than just a tool!) 

I have many questions about making props and people for use in poser, but I guess my first question is important before anything.  How do I work out the slace of things for use in poser? 

I will ask more questions later after i have experimented (evil laugh!) 

Visit the Blender forum for more additional posts that may pertain to Poser, there may be more details and information addressing your questions.  There are a fair number of users that use both.  Also, check out YouTube, there are plenty of Blender tutorials available on just about every topic.

fair enough, i did wonder. would somebody mind shifting this thread over to the Blender forum please?

I do use Blender to make things for Poser and there are others here as well. But I'll admit ignorance. I don't know what a slace is. It's an expression I've never heard before

(sorry, you guys will have to excuse my bad typing , i have a problem with my arm and it sometimes makes my fingers do funny things)

so to ask again (typed slowly) the first question i have is about scale. when making things in blender , how do I be shure they will not come out too big when in poser?  I realize things can be scaled up and down in poser but it would be nice to get it right in the first place. 

I understand typos. I do them all the time.

Often times when I'm making stuff in Blender, it's clothes for figures. Then I import the figure and scale it up by a factor of 10 and then when I export, I set the export to a scale of .10. I do this because poster stuff come in tiny.

Otherwise, if you're making props or figures, use blender's sizes and export at a scale of .38

I'm not sure how familiar you are with Blender to know if you need details on this

I was thinking the same thing, as I've never heard it before either.

sorry miss B, The chocolate is all gone. 

my plan RedPhantom is to make all kinds of things mostly for my my comic in mind. Im not brilliant at Blender but im getting their ( the hard bit is my bad memory and forgetting all the short cuts) but at present im just using old poser models and adapting them for my needs. thanks for the heads up on the scale thing. softwere takes me time to learn but once i have I can get around. 

I have learnt that you can use rigging from figures in your library but i am having a problem with the cloth ripping when posed. Do you weld all the parts together before leaving the setup room? 

For shortcuts, https://www.dropbox.com/s/jg4fs4i8zw5bxt7/Blender%203.0%20Shortcuts%20v1.2.pdf?dl=0 that's for 3.0. I'm sure you can find them if you're using an earlier version.

I've never used the setup room for rigging clothing. I use the fitting room or more likely, make it dynamic. That would be something to ask in the poser forum. there are many in there that know what they're doing.

another question i have is about painting and  unrapping a figure. I have a character in my comic that is called woodboy, so i need to either change a poser figure or make a new one that has segmented limbs and wood texture. I had wanted to just paint the skinmap for Ben but its far to complicated and I think a more sculptured change would be better. what is the gest way of doing this to end up with a working poser figure that i can fit clothes too? 

I have a new question. if you set up a movment rig in a character in blender will it still work in poser?

It may not go smoothly every time, but yes.

thanks. this is what i did so far with the clothes, the coat for the doctor had a badge on it and some pens in the top pocket. I managed to remove the badge and pockets to change the style of the coat. it will do for now.

That's pretty good

A simple trick I used to do  was to import a figure like Dawn or M4 or whatever into the scene first, then build my prop around that figure to fit. When you're finished, just delete the figure until nothing is left in the scene but the prop. When you import it into Poser, it will be the correct scale. Yeah, you can find articles that have the correct mesurements to type in, but my way is simple and quick.
