Hands suggestion

One thing that would help me in posing is if there were hand poses for grasping, and normal position. I use mostly Genesis and Michael 4.

Sometimes the character normal hand positions look abnormal: Fingers spread way apart, or like claws. Sometimes they need to grasp a knife or something. Just a thought.

:cheese:

    The morph sets (Morphs++ for Michael 4, Evolution Body Morphs for Genesis) do add pose controls to the hands that allow grasping and flexing of fingers.

    I recently got Everyday Hand Poses for V4 and M4. It has lots of useful had poses that you could use on Michael 4.

    I recently discovered that with Genesis, by choosing 'All' in the parameters tab and selecting the hand, if you scroll down to the bottom of the parameters list there are controls to grasp, make a fist, or straighten the hand, the fingers, or thumb. Also to spread or not spread them. There are also controls to bend or unbend each finger individually. These may be due to a morph pack which I have installed, but I don't know which one. Probably something basic though, for it applies to a lot of different Genesis bases.

    I also don't know whether this applies to gen4 figures, but it does apply to G1 and G2.

    You have to go back up to the rotation controls to bend, twist or shift the hand side to side from the wrist.

    ETA: Blondie 9999 has some excellent hand poses for gen4.

    These freebies may be of interest, assuming you have the morph sets that Richard Haseltine mentioned...

    You're welcome! You'll find folks around here are usually helpful (unless answering would break the forum TOS), so don't be afraid to ask.

    Wish I had something to add. The DAZ artists and other creatives are incredible. Me, on the other had, I just blunder through and get done what I have to do. My art is impoverished and none of my lines are straight. Essentially what I do is story, illustrated novels, semi-animated movie production, and Web development.

    Always willing to help if you want to do something like this.
