Hi, I have genesis figures with all sorts of parameter tweaks. How can I save them out to open in Poser. I do currently have the base genesis figure working in poser via DSON.

Thanks

    I would save Genesis as a Figure asset, under a new name (File>Save as>Support Asset>Figure or prop asset), then create Poser Companion Files.

    Thanks, that works!

    However I am now having trouble doing the same with clothing and hair assets. I have tried saving them as character presets or wearable presets or figure/prop assets. hey appear in poser but do not follow my custom genesis figure. If I use figure/conform-to in Poser it will follow the pose but not the proportions of my genesis figure.

    I also have sometimes got a dialogue saying "projection" which hangs the program indefinitely.

    Morph transfer isn't automatic in Poser as it is in DS - you have to invoke it from the Scripts>DSON Support menu, as you do in DS with older figures. Its progress bar can lock the library pane as the importer progress bar can, and can't currently be turned off.

    Hi,

    I am trying to save a custom character, I followed as you stated above. While it it saving files, I get an error message: Failed to save a file, see log for deatils. I use Windows 7 64 bit, where would I find this "log" file?

    Hi - Took me a while to get back to this. Seems I just needed to be a bit patient and it eventually unfroze and did do its 'projection' thing (automatically on import btw). I then did the 'Transfer Active Morphs' manually and it did "projection" again only much quicker. Not sure what all that means.

    Anyway I have genesis clothing fitting a custom genesis figure in Poser now. Hooray.

    One thing - the fit isn't great. There's some poke-through. Is there a fix for that? I seem to recall seeing something about it somewhere...?

    Two thing - similalry, can poser clothing be made to work with my genesis figure in poser? Currently 'conform to' is just warping it into odd shapes. (Hair seems to work but has to be manually put in place).

    If the clothing used smoothing or collision detection in DS that won't work in Poser - magnets or, I think, the morph brush will need to be used instead.

    There isn't currently any way to get older clothes to conform to Genesis in Poser - conforming requires that the joint centres match between clothing and figure, which is why it's always tied to one figure type. DS itself can use AutoFit, for supported figures, which can then be saved and opened in Poser; it can't yet, but I don't know if a plugin could be made for Wardrobe Wizard to support imported Genesis.
