Can I put in a request for an info only picture thread? I havent the time to pick through all this for the info on Dawn

 

On DevRigs - the donor needs to be stripped of magnets, existing morphs, magnets, morph channels and weightmaps. Other 'junk' items include materials, dynamic hair groups, IK ...   Basically all you want is the actor list and the bone settings and as little of anything else.  I usually use PoserFileEditor to clean out cr2's

On poser's morph transfer - be careful. It can be a little er ... messy. I've crashed it several times and utterly confused it just as often.  Some of v4's admittedly bizarre internal morph setup confuses it a great deal.

Also making JCMs can be done wholly in poser with the morph painting tool and the dependecy editor.  They are not a kludge. THey are an important and valued morph type.

The only time they become annoying is when the maker deicdes to hide them and you get unpleasent stealth morphs popping up when you didnt expect them. You want a shock, go turn hidden off for all of v4's morphs. there are loads of jcm's in there.

On my Alyson2 devkit I included a stripped donor cr2, base bodysuit meshes, a base dress mesh, and 4 differrent shoe bases for various heel heights with matching high heel foot poses. That seems to be a good all round starter kit.

I have a bunch of similar devkits for a huge list of figures in development .... as soon as I get this book done. (so close)
