@Wickerman:

No - SR1 will work with (almost) no restrictions in P9/PP2012.

There are only three caveats:

1. After the initial Setup and after injecting extra morphs, you'll have to run a simple "FIX" script which will restore the parameter groups in the BODY actor (which P9 did destroy).
2. You MUST remove the "39_ COLLAPSE GROUPS" scripts from Karina's Toolbox and never use them, because they will make P9/PP2012 destroy ALL groups in ALL body parts!
3. In case of NEW morphs (in a future update) these can't be injected into SASHA because P9/PP2012 need predefined "channels" (hence all the "community" channels - they are a leftover from those times)

Like the jovial soldiers from the firing squad said:
"We aim to please..."

Goodness gracious!

I'm back from four days in hell!

After a post about not working "Facial Expressions For V4" over at the SM forum I set off on a quest for the reasons of this.
I finally solved it (read the post there).
https://forum.smithmicro.com/topic/9524/...ssion-morphs/20

But I thought "while I'm at it anyway", and I discovered a couple of other inconsistencies, I decided to make a radical change and to incorporate all other known "official DAZ" V4 morph channels by default too.

Well, I should have known better!

Because of the multi-level nested "readScript" calls of the DAZ setup this became two days of manually copying dials, adjusting groups, and whatever else.
DAZ seems to make fun of us by splattering it's files all over the place, in multiple folders, their sub-folders, more sub-sub-folders, and then some more.
It's like a scavenger hunt to finally get to the file needed...

Not sure whether I'm done with it yet because I still need to check whether all of SASHA's dependencies were ported.

But there's good news at least for the users of the fewer-used morphs:
ALL A4, S4, TheGirl4, "Aged", "Muscles", "Elite" and even the "V4 Creature Creator" morphs work now out of the box.
I'll add some more "INJections" in SASHA's SETUP for them later.


On top of this I also discovered that Poser probably had "eaten" once again some of my weight maps!

I already wrote about that in my other post, and after I fixed that I noticed even more mesh breaking in the head/neck/chest area.
I tried to fix that as best as I could, but in three cases I saw no other way than to delete the whole bloody weight map and to repaint it.

On the positive side, I improved some weight maps in the collars, esp. up/down and front/back.



That's like it always is:
You think you have reached the shore, and then a big wave pulls you back into the cold water...

NOTE TO SELF:

Create a "master copy" of all weight maps so they can be re-injected in case Poser messes with them again.

@operaguy:

You havent studied communist economics, per chance?
Remember that communist economy only had five enemies:
Spring, summer, fall, winter, and unclement weather.

Meanwhile I've fine-tuned some more weight maps in the head/neck area, hidden the "Mouth Blowjob" dial (now only becomes visible if you activate the KV, as per your suggestion), and I even improved it.
Added two more "SHAPE" morphs for the lips: ""Lip Out Upper, "Lip Out Lower".

Still testing the latest major overhaul, but hitherto I only found few errors (most because I made an error during manually copying all those dials).

Last, I discovered that something screwed up the "deltaAddDelta" values for the upper and lower eyelids.
It was clearly visible when I rolled the eyes up/down.
I have no idea how this got in there, but I suspect that there is some weird DAZ script out there which changes the values.
But it must have happened while I added the "CreatureCreator" and the "Facial Expressions For V4" dials.

I remember several posts in the forums about "V4 eyes won't close", and as much as I remember the quintessence of the threads was that the "deltaAddDelta" values were messed up.
If I have the time (ever...) I'll write a simple script to inject the correct dependencies again, just in case.


Next up will be (another, and hopefully the final) BETA version.
I'll bundle it as I would do with the real SR1, so you'll have to delete all previous versions and runtimes in order to have no artifacts left.

And then please test the hell out of her:
Check every morph, every bend, every control parameter, and then even some more!

This will be the dress rehearsal before the "grande premiere"!

So, if i understood you right, the ever worst thing to happen would be:
"We're from the government and we're here to help.
Why not make a commitee?
Here's your new team leader: Gospodin "L. Illyich Brezhnev", from Ukraine!!
...

Good Lord!


While further testing the figure for errors, it occurred to me that I can add another improvement:

If you've read the manual then you'll know about SASHA's "Command Posts".
The major one controlling the BODY is right there and probably well-used.

But there were three mostly unnoticed dials in the hip too which I made for testing purposes only (Legs Side, Shins Bend, Spread Legs).
I almost deleted them but then decided to "amalgamate" the BODY and make a new HIP Command Post:

Now you have the tree old hip dials in the BODY too.
BUT all the BODY dials which control the lower torso (Waist Bend, Lower Torso Side-Side, Twist, Hip Rotate X/Z, Hip Sway Side-Side) available in the hip Command Post too, and the dials in hip and body are synchronized so you can set them from either body OR hip!

I'm not finished yet because next I'll also duplicate the arms/palms controls into the chest Command Post, and to synchronize them with the BODY dials.

So now you can:

- Control all "Easy Pose" dials in the BODY
OR
- in the chest
OR
- in the hip

All dials are synchronized so you can control them from any command post!

I hope this is a welcome improvement for easy posing.

Not finished yet because I had to take a break from editing code (head got dizzy from all that ), so I posted this report instead.

Now I'll have a large glass of vodka (and it will be a "shto gram"! ), and then it's time for bed.

See you, and then onwards to the "undress rehearsal"!

These breasts in your render look damn nice!
Mind to share your settings? [rolling_eyes]
