Pose Architect

Rod Wise Driggo

Did anybody already purchase and test? Does it simplify pose creation?

modernvinylphile

YES!!!!!!!!!!!! It Is fantastic.

Rod Wise Driggo

;-) Could you elaborate a little more on this. Already own lots of poses plus many of the tools from RiverSoft. So I'm not sure whether this thing will add much to my arsenal.

modernvinylphile

I to own too many poses products but this one is some what unique. The sliders give you a unbelievable amount of veriety and for the most part work well together. The pose commination look realistic and are a real time saver to get a custom pose started or modify a existing pose. The work flow just works for me. I thought it was well worth adding to my tools.

Rod Wise Driggo

Thanks for the update. Will see if I can add it to my Tasha-order.

Hi there!

We’re glad that you have found this product to be useful to your work flow. Thanks for the feedback.

Will there be a male version?

What I don't understand is, why the sample video is a repetitive 12 seconds.

I see that in LOTS of Daz-related let-me-show-you-how-this-works demos.....

Why not a full video that explains and shows what this actually does?

Like, you know, someone using it in Daz Studio and making/editing poses.

A short tutorial explaining how to unlock its potential.

--------------

Not to be nit-picky, but let's face facts.

1) This product is unlike anything else in the store. So I can't claim it's more of something I already own or are familiar with.

[I know -bad to end with a preposition]

2) If it delivers what it SEEMS to promise, we have a Major, major go to product, rivaling Look-at-me-pose-control or Scene Optimizer as one of those use-almost-every-render buys.

well, maybe you don't optimize EVERY scene. but I digress.

3) If it fails, it'll be troublesome to run, not give consistent results or be complicated, where if you don't use it for a few weeks, you gotta re-read your notes to remember how to use it.

4) And IF it delivers;  it needed to be presented with more fanfare. This looks like a BIG DEAL. It should have been the main product for its debut day - assuming it's the goods.

5) Poses tend to offered at a lower price point. This is like $18. That price is reserved for middle weights. That price actually gives me high hopes and lends credence. It makes me confident that someone at Daz understands this release and gets its potential.

I still work primarily with G3 figures, mostly because my extant morph library for G3 is enormous, and cost a great deal to acquire. Same for a lot of us, I'm sure.

Is there any intention to offer this very interesting product for G3F?

I know I can convert an existing G8 pose to G3, but not realtime in my scene without a lot of extra fuss, like adding the G8 figure, posing, saving a preset, applying to G3 and then converting, and the inevitable tweaks that are needed after conversion. This limits Pose Architects current usefulness enough to have me semi-balk at the current price. Mostly likely I would end getting both, but my real need is for G3 first.

Also, does it work on poses already applied? That is, if I have an already posed figure in the scene, and want to add a bit of Pose Architect to that pose, does that work, or do I have to start from a zero pose? If it does work that way, how does that intersect with the save script? Will it save all of it, the initial non-Pose Architect pose with its Pose A additions, as a single pose?

Rod Wise Driggo

Some additional info on the products potential would have helped indeed. I purchased hoping that it will add some value to my toolbox. But I wonder whether it will be as useful as "Look at me". That one I use virtually for every scene I'm working on. To stay in budget, I had to skip the HD-AddOn for Tasha. But I don't use those HD-AddOns too often in general due to my old and slow machine ;-)

I'm wondering if this will work on G8M and his poses, also does it work with mmale poses applied to the female figure?

Cybersox

Am I correct in assuming that this works ONLY with poses that you're building from the ground up, as opposed to allowing you to take an existing pose and modify it?  Or is it possible to start with this for the lower body, appy an existing upper body pose and have the lower body move to match?

modernvinylphile

I been doing both, pose creation and modifying existing poses. You need to load the existing pose first and then modify other wise you will get unexpected results. An existing pose may through off the balance the morphs are intended to provide, but that is to be expected and corrected.

Yes, the lack of information just leaves me skeptical at this point. It might be great, or it might be extremely limited, but I can't tell that from the promo images or video. I can't find a commercial thread for it either. For now, I'll just wait and see if more information becomes available. I'm hoping it turns out to a real breakthrough.

Has anyone worked out how to use ths yet. Getting a bit fed up bying things that either don't work or don't have any help in getting started

diogenese19348

I bought it, I won't be able to play with it until tonight.  It looks like it will be really useful if you want to create and save a sequence of poses or possibly for animation.  In any case, I'll report back when I've had a chance to use it.

The slides are in the pose control tab.

I needed to restart Daz. Thanks

Three sliders to create a walking pose?

One to go from zero to a relaxed stand?

Truly awesome single slider for hands?

This set is a serious time saver, but the real gem is the ability to save out the poses with a script.

My only real nitpick is that there's no single sit slider. That would save a ton of time.

I'm hopeful sitting sliders will show up in a 2nd package (if the 3D gods smile on us)

G3 user here too. I'll buy it for G3

100% needed.

OK, I have played with it.  It does make complex posing a lot quicker.  It also takes some time to learn what all the sliders do, so it isn't a one click you're done kind of thing.  It's definately worth having.

Griffin Avid

So what happens when you try to use this witrh a G3 figure?

- assuming that I select a figure in the scene and then run script 1.....

if it works that way.....

Or do I run the script/install and it adds NEW morph dials to every G8 female figure character?

Or even G8 male since it says it's only for Genesis 8 females?

Lyoness

I have bought it and played with it.
They seem to be keyed squences for posing.  grouped into different parts of the body.

as you move the slider you can stop at any point and use that as part of your pose.

you can rotate the body and legs, move the arms to a comfy position.

 

I found it to be very useful.  A nice way to modify poses that I already own or to create a quickie new one.

Me three.  I'm using G8F more these days, but G3F is still my go to figure.

johranshadi

Wish there were more details. I use daz for animation only so I hope someone can answer two questions before I decide to buy it: does it work with animations or just still poses? Is it a sort of IK solver for sliding feet?

Butch

I'm also keen to know if it'll work on G8M or if there are plans for a G8M version.

this version only works for G8... I checked and tried

Yes but will it work with G8 Male?

Worlds_Edge

I'd like more info on how to use the product and whether it works on males too.  And if not, whether a male version will be sold later.

AllenArt

If it can't work on both or there will be no male version forthcoming I don't see the point. It looks useful tho.
