Loosing my feeble mind. Sorry for the double image.

To answer your question about the curls. No. You can make your own though. Seems I might have to put a few minutes into making curls. 10 seconds or less in the Hair Room isn't enough time to do a good demo.
Lost the image again. I need to get a better handle on the forum software here before I post images.

New dynamic sailor outfit just uploaded to ShareCG

Thanks for that link.

Seliah, here's one for V4....that lady has a bunch of dynamic stuff that's well done. Here's the main link to her gallery which shows everything she's done.

Yes, and Rosemaryr works in Marvelous Designer, and has been for quite some time. I remember her on the MD forums when I was first beta testing MD3.

Hey Miss B, there's a way around that. Right before you do a new version install, copy the whole entire old version DS program folder to an external drive, or somewhere to protect it....run your upgraded installation of DS, then after everything is settled down, copy your old DS back onto your drive. Usually I make the new installation be renamed with the specific version, like in my case 4.7....then I was able to put 4.6 back on the drive, since it was the last version that played nice with Poser stuff in the content library. That's how I also have DS 3 and DS 1.4 on the same drive as well, they are "copied over" from an external drive, salvaged from previous installations

So PDG, that method won't work well with Historical Curls...

 

[parkdalegardener]

There must be some type of time limit on image attachments here. Maybe to stop spammers or something. I do this stuff live and hair calcs\renders are done before I finish typing so I attach as I go.

I do know there's a delay time on posting a message...sometimes it will say wait a few seconds...if I get into a rapid conversation with someone

I assume you mean DS 3 and DS 4.1 on the same drive. I had DS 4.1 at one point, while it was in beta, but I also had my DS 4.0 Pro on the same laptop, and DS 4.1 messed with my DS 4.0, so I had to uninstall it.

 

[skylab]

And I think it was an image that was used to take the entire forum down last year, so there's probably added security with that, I'm sure.

So PDG, that method won't work well with Historical Curls...

Nope. The Hair Room is for making and or animating dynamic hair only. Pauline and all the other SM figures come with a skull cap that you can grow your own curls upon. I have released skull caps for most every other figure I own in various threads. That includes Gen 1 and Gen2 if one is using those figures in Poser. I don't save anything. I release it into the wild and don't keep copies. I do this stuff so fast that I just do it from scratch whenever I need it.

 

[skylab]

No, believe it or not, I mean old vintage DS 1.4....here's a screen cap of my DS corner on my desktop

 

[skylab]

Maybe we're not connecting in thoughts PDG....I'm wondering if a dynamic sim can be run on Historical Curls...so I think I phrased the question incorrectly...sorry

 

[parkdalegardener]

No you phrased the question correctly. That hair is not dynamic. You cannot run a sim on it. At least that is what I deduce from the advertisement. I do not own the product. You would have to grow your own curls on a skull cap or on the figure itself. It really is easy. Poser dynamic hair can grow on anything but not everything is dynamic on it's own. Exactly like the dynamic cloth you are exploring now.

There is no skull cap in this image. The hair is grown on the figure.

 

[skylab]

Yes, I used to do the Poser hair right on the characters when I was doing comedy toons with the Nursoda characters...examples...haha.

You seem to have it figured out. The dynamic hair in poser hasn't changed since it was first added. Only the addition of bullet physics.

 

[skylab]

Okay, so that hair is not dynamic, so not a candidate for a sim...gotcha. I know there was some question about it when we were discussing robes the first time, and we sort of put that aside for later. It came up because, if you remember, the hair was colliding with the robe, causing spiking at the back of the neck...so you suggested unchecking it in the collide against box, as well as the dynamic hair on the rock that was used for to be like grass, and the robe started behaving properly.

 

[skylab]

Bullet physics? You know I have to ask...what does that do?

Thanks for that link Seliah...I get it now...I was thinking, having read halfway down the page, it would be like waving a flag...and sure enough, the example at the bottom is just that. That could make some interesting effects...I noticed they mentioned the option to pass through...that's got my interest up.

 

[Terre]

Sky, one thing you could try with that hair is take it into the cloth room and clothify it. You might be able to get a sim you like that way.

 

[skylab]

Okay, so you can clothify other things, other than cloth...I guess that was my question, being as that lady had a freebie hair that was using sim settings. You know me...I'll think WAY OUTSIDE the box, once I get the hang of something...haha.
