Aeon Soul's new Dress Undress product is missing all the partial folders, SOLVED
Aeon Soul's new Dress Undress pose & clothing set is missing all the partial poses. The Partial folders are in the download, but they're empty. I tried downloading twice, but no-go, so I submitted a ticket.
But, more surprisingly, there are other problems with this set as well, such as mislabeled or incorrect clothing sliders. Example, Pose 4, with shorts, Right Side Down lowers the Left side, not the Right side.
Also, since the partials weren't in the download, I tried using some Upper body poses from another very popular pose vender, but found that this caused the clothing to distort a lot. The issue is in adjusting the upper to match Aeon Soul's full body pose lower. As always when matching upper and lowers, some rotation adjustment is needed, but, although the Aeon Soul Shorts, in this case, are strictly lower body garments, and shouldn't be affected by anything above the figure's waist, Rotation changes to the the upper body, ie upper abdomen, lower and upper chest, etc, severely distort the clothes morph. Twist causes the most pronounced distortion, pushing the back part of the garment way out. It looks terrible.
I am avery big fan of Aeon Soul, their products and their philosphy, and most always get their new products as soon as they are offered on the Marketplace, but this latest purchase is a big disappointment, and I'm going for the refund. I suppose Daz will get the empty partial pose folders issue fixed pretty quick, but since alternate upper body poses can't be used, it severely limits my available options, and I don't like that. Lower body clothing should not be affected by simple, reasonable upper body rotation changes.
One reason I purchase new pose product at all, even though my existing Pose collection is enormous, is to increase, not decrease what I can do.creatively.
Comments
I installed this manually and I don't use smart content, but I do have the partial poses, so no issue there for me.
Didn't have time to test too much, but from what I noticed the shorts are not affected by anything above (including) abdomen upper, however they are effected by abdomen lower and most partial poses will change this as well, distorting the shorts.
Just for the record, I did find the trouble with missing folder content with this product.
For some reason, this download wouldn't completely unzip with my usual unzip utility, one I've used to unzip well over 2 TB of content. I've only seen this missing folder content issue once before, and the product was not a DS product, so no idea what happened with this Aeon Soul product.
I repurchased, redownloaded, found the same problem, changes unzip utilities, and the partial were there.
The distortion issue remains, but that's for another day I suppose...
First it would be very helpful to name the product you are talking about. And even more helpful, to provide a link to the shop page. As it's supposed to be about a product from around June it's probably about the Undress and Get Dressed Poses.
It would also be helpful, to give more details about the used poses that lead to the distortion(s). I used both, the full body and only the lower body pose 01 from the above mentioned set. The I applied different upper body poses from different products from Zeddicus, Rarestone and PaperTiger and then even used the sliders for the Lower Abdomen.. the only distorting of the shorts happened when using poses that made the G8F bend forwards extremely, which, for me, didn't come as a surprise. And yes, that distortion of the pants happened - for me - only when using partial poses from different vendors. I would not expect a vendor to test his new products with all available pose combinations in the shop, though. And that distortion also happened when none of the partial poses was done by Aeon Soul, so the problem is with the use of different partial poses per se. And using Fit Control helps in this situation.
More help might be available when more detailed information about the poses used would be delivered
so, meanwhile i guess you had many occasions to use this product in a year... do you still have issues as mentioned or new ones? i was about to put it in my cart as i peeked in the thread (as i always do when available), and i must say this gave me a pause...
i don't use many partial poses, really, unless maybe they're directly included with a product. however, i would only use this with either a male figure (G3M, G8M, or a masculinized G3F/G8F) since i never render female characters, which isn't usually much of a problem, give or take a smoothing modifier or sth if necessary. but knowing that there are possible distortions already with the intended figure makes me wonder if i'm throwing my money out of the window with expectable/inevitable frustration when i use this... would be a pity, awesome product it seems.
