Pose Help: Leg Up

Setalia

I'm trying to recreate this pose. I've never made my own pose, since I've been using pre-mades from the Daz Store and another site. I'm only able to get the leg half-way up, with "right thigh bend".

Does anyone know a pose set that includes this, or perhaps can guide me which sliders to use in Parameters? I'm using Genesis 8.1 Female.

You're going to have to set up an IK chain for this to get the hips to shift the weight onto her left leg (click left foot, create/new IK chain, click the IK chain in the scene tab, go to parameters and turn the pin rotation and translation on, repeat for right foot). After you shift the weight, click on the foot and use the arrow to drag it up kind of to the height you want it and get it kind of in the position. Then rotate the Z axis of the pelvis to bring the side up where the leg goes up. Then delete the IK chain on the right leg and use the side to side slider pretty much all the way to bring the leg to her side. I used the new G9 since it would take a second to load but you can use any generation, I moved the spine 1 and 2 side by side to the right since she's leaning (lower and upper abdomen in G8), and then I did side by side to the left for spine 3 and 4 (upper and lower chest). Then it's just positioning the arm how you want it. This took me less than three minutes to get the blocking of the pose set up, I'm sure ten minutes of tweaking and that's all you need to finish things like the right foot and how you want the fingers and head.

I've created the IK chain for each food and enabled the two options. I don't know how to shift the weight, though.

Highlight the hip whether in the scene tab, power pose, or click on it (make sure it's the hip and not pelvis or lower abdomen), grab the arrow to the right and drag it over the left leg to your liking.
