Tue, 23 May 2006 23:35:02 GMT http://www.hogsoft.com/content/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=8 Millennium 3 characters (such as Daz Victoria 3, Micheal 3 and the Freak) use a system called Morph Injection to insert/remove different morphs into the figure by the use of morph injection poses. This system works extremely well when there is only one figure in the scene but, due to idiosyncrasies within these Daz products, if two or more Millennium 3 characters are needed with different morphs, then the FBMs and JCMs stop working: Any morphs injected into Figure 2 take their FBM and JCM control from Figure 1. This means that, in order to give the characters different morphs, you must forget about the FBM dials and JCM and tweak each dial on every body part to the required extent. This can take many more hours than if the FBMs just worked properly. Well, now they can! Figure Independent Injection describes a system whereby the morph injection files themselves (those files stored in the libraries!Daz folder) are subtly altered to allow multiple figures to control their own FBMs and JCMs. More information on PBooost II FII Plugin...

As it's designed specifically for you, it has all the features you would ask for and more. You can load, edit and save all of the supported file types with the appropriate compression. You can keep your libraries compressed and edit the files in Zpad as if they were ordinary text files. A powerful poser-sensitive auto-complete tool is included. It is loaded full with all Poser file keywords with syntax hints literally at your fingertips. Never again will you stumble over the spelling, syntax or useage of Poser file keywords!

With QuickMAT, gone are the days of laboriously browsing for files and manually converting thumbnails. Instead, QuickMAT will make the MAT you want, together with rsr and png thumbnails, in a couple of clicks. Thanks to inovative new technologies such as P4PyE (Poser 4 Python Emulation), QuickMAT works with Poser 4, 5, 6 and Pro Pack. QuickMAT is by far the simplest and quickest way to make perfect MAT poses ever! More information on QuickMAT... Tue, 23 May 2006 22:05:11 GMT http://www.hogsoft.com/content/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=5 Many Poser Propack, 5 and 6 users have problems with the Poser Python Scripts Palette. The palette gives you ten buttons which can either call another set of buttons or a script. Sounds simple enough, but changes made to the menu within Poser are not remembered so the only way to permenantly place your own scripts in the menu is to edit the button script files manually. For the majority of users, this is both impractical and time consuming. This means that many users aren't experiencing the full potential that Python scripts can unleash in Poser!! Python Library gives you the ability to quickly and easily set up your own structured tree of scripts so you can always run the script you want in Poser with the minimum of fuss. Python Library opens up a whole world of Python Script useability! More information on Python Library... Tue, 23 May 2006 21:52:47 GMT http://www.hogsoft.com/content/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=3 Poser's library files contain 'references' to other files such as texture images and geometry mesh files. Generally, these references work well but misplaced files or incorrect references can cause all sorts of problems. Poser itself is notoriously sensitive to bad references: incorrect geometry references will cause Poser 4 to crash when it attempts to load the library file, while bad texture references often lead to an endless loop of 'locate file' dialogues. Squeaky-clean references in your libraries will provide many benefits: Your Poser library files will load more quickly and without spitting out errors, your distributed content will work out-of-the-box without end-users having to tweak the files, Poser will not 'lock' the library folders to PBooost and you will know that your content will always be in tip-top shape, ready for the rigours of even the most demanding Poser session. But this is just the beginning! CRPro II has much more to offer both the professional and the casual Poser® user... More information on CRPro II full version...CRPro II upgrade from CRPro 1.x... Tue, 23 May 2006 18:07:15 GMT http://www.hogsoft.com/content/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2 PBooost II is a library manager for Poser and a whole lot more. Designed from scratch for both professional and hobbyist Poser user alike, PBooost II offers a straightforward and clear Explorer-style interface for optimum workflow. The PBooost Bank System allows content in each library category to be grouped into banks to reduce the number of items shown in the Poser library tab. You only see the content you want! Fully customisable Bank Groups allow you to group banks across the categories to further improve your workflow. PBooost II can fully replace the Poser library tab for figures, hair and props. Items, even many at once, can be loaded directly from PBooost II into the running Poser scene in all Poser versions thanks to Hogsoft's innovative P4PyE technology. You can even drag files from PBooost and drop them into Poser! More information on PBooost II full version...PBooost II upgrade from PBooost 1.4... Tue, 23 May 2006 16:49:21 GMT
