"I've Done So Much, With So Little, For So Long, That Now I Can Do Anything With Nothing."
I live by that lol I'm just so used to making what I have on hand work, that I can do quite a bit with a little of nothing except effort ;) I've been using studio as an aid to carrara since DAZ shut down transposer and Studio finally got some tools for working with content; I went to using it for a lot of stuff. Now that DAZ has taken a big; stumbleing, faultering, tripping over it's self, step in to the weight mapped figures relm, I need to learn how to use these new tools.
As in V4 could stand a good weight mapping to fix many of her posing issues. The minute you convert her to Triax is the minute the nightmare begins. And once all is said and done it's doesn't improve posing.
I've been doing a lot of run through testing and have it worked out on how to do the clothing animations in Studio to stage in carrara useing mil3/4, and even genesis; note do not "fit to" mil4 clothes on genesis. The 2 issues I am having now are purly financial, I don't have the clothing control sustem or animate2; or $20 a pop for aniblocks.
This weekend I may be able to scrape together enough cash and coupons to get 1 aniblock set, just not sure which one I could get the most use out of. Right now I am limited to what comes with Studio 4. I also found; well they weren't lost just over looked, the preset settings for optitex clothes; The denim one was a big help wiht M4's polyester cargo pants lol
I worked one out with genesis yesterday, about a 30second animation, once it was done it was plain to see I needed a bra on genesis; that shirt came up high lol I worked out a still using genesis and the optitex boyfriend shirt, once done it was clear geneis needed some panties lol Putting clothes under clothes usually isn't soemthing I need to worry with ;)
I don't usually tell stories with my aniamtions, just working on the technical aspects of it. But I strung several aniblocks together to make "the 50second drunk" with M4. Now if I can get a good runthrough with it, I'll stage in and post it; may be a few weeks I'm having issues with the hoody.
