Reinstalling DS, converting things to Dawn and Diva and my experiments along the way

[Miss B]

Sounds like you're on a roll with your pose conversions.

Oh, I remember seeing something like that in Poser once, though I'm not sure how it was fixed. Hmmmm . . .

 

[Pendraia]

Just playing now...in many ways it's been a frustrating morning.

I can fix the feet by enabling Ignore Local Transforms for the feet. I just need a way I can save it and just apply it.

So I thought I'd have some fun. Remember this outfit Miss B? Still a small pokethru on the right side.

 

[Miss B]

Hmmm, I don't seem to remember it, but it looks nice.

...Adam's site doesn't seem to be up anymore...

Adam?

Dana

 

[Pendraia]

Adam who used to be a community volunteer on Daz's forum created a script that fixed translation issues on Poser poses in DS.

I can achieve the same by turning on Ignore Local Transforms on the feet in the parameters.

@Miss B , it's V4's Far Journeyer outfit.

I've stopped for the day.

It's Father's day in Australia and I'll go visit my dad this afternoon.

I thought maybe you meant Adam Thwaites.

[Pendraia]

I'm not sure... his site was called talltales iirc.

OK, different Adam. Thwaites' site is Most-Digital-Creations.

Dana

 

[Pendraia]

Yes, it would be a different Adam then.

OK, I checked my Product Library, and I don't have that one. I checked out the product page, and it's a nice outfit.

Have fun visiting your dad.

 

[Pendraia]

I'm surprised you don't have it...

It was good to see mum and dad.

 

[Miss B]

I don't know when it came out, so it might have been after I stopped using DS 4, so wasn't shopping those types of outfits, even those for V4.

The funny thing is, I did have another V4 outfit that starts with Far, so I saw it when I searched my Product Library, and immediately downloaded and installed it. It's the Far East outfit for V4 by EvilInnocence, but it also mentions RDNA, so I think I purchased it there, and then it was moved over to DAZ when RDNA closed it's store and site.

 

[Pendraia]

I'm not sure when it came out but I'm thinking it was Pre Genesis which was when 4 came out.

 

[Miss B]

Possibly.

 

[Pendraia]

Spent a large chunk of the morning weightmapping still got a way to go but I think the leg bends are almost there.
Given this is meant to be dforce I'm not really sure how good the templates need to be...

 

[Miss B]

That's something I've never played with, so one of these days I'll have to bite the bullet and try weightmapping.

 

[Pendraia]

I spent most of the morning on it. I'm not sure I fully understand what I'm doing but I'm getting better at making the mesh look straight when posed using bends etc...

 

[Miss B]

Sounds like you're making headway, so that's good.

 

[Pendraia]

Slowly but yes, I'm becoming more comforts with the tools.

 

[RAMWolff]

Yea, weight mapping is tedious and annoying at times. When you get it done it's like Christmas but during the process it can feel like your in hell! LOL
