Or are they like clothing that way? I like to start with a canned pose and then tweak. Got a lot of Schlabber last night but couldn't seem to use any on Vicki. The reason I ask is that some pose sets say you can use with anyone, just needs tweaking. I couldn't even load it.

Mind you, I still don't know what I'm doing, really.

The best answer I can give is "Yes, no and maybe." The Poser P4 characters have less "body parts" than the Millennium Characters (simplistic explanation). Sometimes that yields unpredictable results. I've used many P4 poses on Mike or Vicky. Sometimes you need to tweak. For instance, Vicky's breasts are bigger than the P4 woman. One pose might have the woman's arms across her breasts. You do that with Vicky, and her arm or hand is buried inside her breast! That is pretty painful! You need to adjust the pose so it works! Some of Schlabber's Poses have 1 icon for hair, and the other for the character. If you click on the hair icon, that works for a specific hair prop, or hair figure. I don't use that hair. I've included a screenshot to illustrate the separate icons for hair, and for the figure. Ron

I have try some pose for P4 woman on eve, I don't remember which version, I got some 'wave' at the joint after bending.

I have found that in the most instances, yes I can use Vicky poses for p4 and vicky versa. As you say just a little tweaking. My last 2 "cartton style" renders I posted here were Vicky poses used on p4.

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."

Hi there ..., well Ron gave allready the explanation ... Vicky and Posette have different amounts of polygons - so a pose for Posette won't work well for Vicky. When I want to use a pose from Posette for Vicky I just re-do the pose - That's quicker for me then fine-tweaking a pose from Posette to a pose for Vicky (well, you might know I'm pretty fast in posing - lol). The hair is a different chapter ... I know some people have problems with that hair - especially for Vicky - I'll put the cr2 on the next site-update - then it should be easier to use ... However - I hope to fill up the Vicky/Mike - area of my stuff a little bit with the next CD - it's one for DAZ-characters only ...
