Is it easier to make it in Poser then convert it to DS?
I think Pen is on the money here. What program you prefer to use is probably the biggest thing that makes a difference, especially since which ever program you prefer, you've probably spend time converting other peoples stuff made for the other program to work in the one you like (at least if you a content creator, I figure most content creators realized after fiddling with other people's stuff that either the thing they wanted just wasn't out there, or that they had picked up the skills to start making their own stuff).
That being said, even though I prefer Poser to DS, I will agree that the transfer utility and the auto-follow features in DS will usually make it easier to support other morphs on a figure. Poser's tools for these sorts of things aren't quite as good. On the other hand Poser's morph brush is like my favorite thing ever. I've definitely used some of DSs auto-follow transfer utility tools to make morphs, brought them into Poser, and then used Poser's morph brushes to clean them up/fix them.
Okay, here is what I worked on today, had to tighten some things up and prepare for the future.
Had a lot going on with her shorts, belts, holsters and such.. Removed the buttons on the front, she had a stylish button fly but the way she lays on the unicycle it was called to my attention that those needed to be removed. She now has a velcro fly, and buckles for the belts had to be placed on her hip, not the front, because this would be uncomfortable laying on them.
Spent a lot of time on the UV's this morning, very happy with them now. Set the material zones with good names. Generic rigging tests with the transfer tool.

Awesome
looking good hun x
Thanks for the comments.
I've spent the day tighting everything up on her outfit, looking everything over, material zone names, changed a few UV's.
The biker outfit is finished. Tomorrow I'll get back to work on the Unicycle, and hope to finish it.
I want to finish this up so I can move on to the water soldier; hopefully next weekend.
I wish I could do this everyday for a few hours, a few hours here and there on the weekend is not enough time. But the long breaks inbetween modeling sessions give me time to think about designs.
Until then, hope to be able to post more progress tomorrow.

Not much but here is what I did with what little time I had.
Made a new wheel for the unicycle, and extended the tail so her feet would not hang off the back. Also on the tail put some padding for her.
If I get time tomorrow I'm going to add some things so she can attach her swords to the unicycle and some extra clips for her gun.

Got Dawn dressed in her new clothes, and positioned on her Unicycle.
Showing how her feet don't hang off anymore; before if she were to back into anything it would have hurt her feet so now they are protected. The new wheel gives it a little extra punch too.
Just got to figure out where I want to put her swords. Working on that right now.

Got stuff to do so I'm going to shut down.
I played with the swords and clips trying to figure out where and how to place them.
Here is what I'm thinking of doing; swords where they are and the clips, maybe two or three on each side of the tail, one in place for a demo.
I'll have to sleep on the placement before I go and model some model extra parts that would hold the swords and clips in place.

Count me as Sale +1 when these sets come out.
For the Craft worlds! Used to love me some Battlefleet Gothic. Sad it was discontinued.
I'm not sure they will ever be released, I'm starting to get emotionally attached and might keep these sets all for myslef.
All jokes aside, I've not ran this stuff through Hivewire yet. Once I complete the obj files as best as I can I will send an inquiry to them. This set, the unicycle rider with ride and weapons is almost finished, so I will be inquiring soon. The Sky soldier is prety much finished too, but I want to give her some extra stuff to try and balance out the sets. I want the sets to be even with content and quality. I'm thinking of adding things (more parts) to the sky glider. Also thinking of adding some extras to her outfit. Open now for suggestions.
I'll be around for about two hours, don't know how much I'll get done though?
Wrapping up the unicylce and the rider outfit right now. I'm going to spend what time I have today on the sky soldier and try and finish her up. We'll see how it goes.
Added some brackets to the unicycle so we could get some extra clips and the swords attached.

Unicylce and rider are finished!
Bad news, the unicycle does not come with a spare tire.
The good news is I added some lugnuts in case you ever did need to remove the wheel.
