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

so I gave in and bought the two tempesta characters and the shapes for Dawn2
Still have to convert the shapes to ds but I've started work on doing DS settings for the mat. At this pioint she is still looking a bit sweaty
I'm trying to follow the settings for Dawn 2's base texture as I really like it but just ctrl clicking isn't very successful and neither is using DawnSE's settings.
I[ve packed the gruggle monk poses and I'm finialising the Genesis 9 promos at the moment.

Provided Dark Angel with the final links for the Christmas advent freebies.
So the question is what to do next. I think I might focus on organising my runtime until after Christmas and maybe working on the skin settings for Tempesta's characters and possible the shapes.

Question for poser users. To apply Angel's body injection in Poser what do I need to have selected before double clicking on the injection?

So I have the angel head in DS just not the body. I'm remembering why I don't like Poser as much as DS.

Skin setting were applied to dawn 2 in Poser, saved as a cr2 and then opened in DS and look better than the mats applied in ds. Not sure why that is.

I did have to copy and paste the eyes though from the Dawn 2 iray settings as all I got in DS was white as opacity on the conjuctiva surface was 100.

I also noticed that the cornea in the cr2 I saved is listed as conjuctiva? Anyone know why this would be?

She's looking great Pen.

I didn't know 3D figures could have conjunctivitis! lol

Are you also going to link via the Renderosity Freebie section? If so that would be awesome.

Once Dark Angel has put them up I will probably upload to rendo eventually.

Any thoughts on what should be selected to inject the body morph for angel?

I think I've managed to work a few things out.
First her body shape is based on the morphs that come in the additional shapes package they aren't custom.
However even with injecting the morphs the shape isn't changing but the dials are reading a point figure e.g. .63

Having looked at the inj file I was able to work out in DS that these figures need to be 63/100 so I could get a shape that looks like it could be right.
But it mentions JCM's on off and I'm not sure which I need to select and then it lists figures for JCM's so I'm thinking she has overridden them.

I'm still not sure why the figure isn't changing in Poser despite morphs being dialled in. I probably missing something fairly basic which is what tends to happen in Poser.
