Thanks Lost Alien. Firefly renders with high settings and area lights inside a closed "soft room."

More Sasha at my gallery at Renderosity:

Hi operaguy,

I just looked at your gallery... You're a fabulous artist... I loved them!

I think my favourite was "bluegreen series - 01, Sasha in emotion"

Definitely hit the sweet spot for me...

Female nudes and statues are my favourite type of art, apart from science fiction of course...

Thank you so much for sharing.

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:

I'm glad you didn't delete those! I know this isn't its original purpose, but the "Spread Legs" dial is helpful for getting a character into position to ride a horse! (In a PG kind of way! )

I'm curious about how you make these easy pose dials, b/c I'd like to set up something similar for a few of Nursoda's figures (for my own use, not to distribute). Are you creating a master parameter and "teaching" it to control one or more actor dials or using some other method?

Yes that's basically the easiest way.
However, before Poser11 you could only create "valueOpKeyed"
dependencies, not the muchh more often used "valueOpDeltaAdd" or "valueOpTimes".
And synchronizing dials per "linkParm" still can only be done manually in the {figure} section, and it's a frustrating experience.

I made it a habit to write my dependencies manually in PFE.

This also has the nice side effect that I can choose the internal dial names instead of having hundreds of Poser's default "Master 1" etc. dials. This can become quite annoying after a while if you're trying to track a morph and it's dependencies.

It also gives me easier control over the calculation order.

I've finished reorganizing the "Command Posts".

So here's how they are organized now. Al thos e dials are synchronized so that you can use them from any of the Command Posts, anytime.

I hope this helps to keep the list of dials short for those who use 1920x1050 monitors (mine are all in DTP mode at 1050x1920 which makes using Poser much more easy).
 
As you also might notice I moved some of the lesser-noticed dials from their sub-groups into plain view.
I hope more people will recognize their usefulness.

Today I moved more "breast" controls into the BODY and chest "Command Posts", and also converted some of the DAZ "shape" morphs to SASHA "pose" morphs where it was useful:

Breast (r/l) "up/down/in/out" as well as "hang forward" and "flatten" because i think that these are quite handy as gravity-induced movements too.
I made separate "Easy Pose" dials, so you can now use them for either shaping OR posing, independently.

Another major change:
I eliminated all the asterisks " *" that still were appended to many morph names.
In the beginning they were helper tags for me to know which are SASHA morphs, but over the years they became more and more obsolete and in the end only were confusing and decreased readability.

Next I'll check all dials and parameters over again for the correct application of the dash "-" at the beginning of a "pose/movement" morph or dial, because this is how my "Lock Figure" Python script determines whether it's a shape (== lock!) or a pose (== do not lock!) dial, thus this is an important tag.
(For a more in-depth explanation read the manual, chapter 11.2.2.)

Still some more entries in my to-do list, but they become lesser by the hour.

Sasha looked in her wardrobe and didn't think anything was suitable for such an occasion as this dress rehearsal. So, she snuck into La Femme's room and stole this little red thing. It has a label in the waistband "tailored by Blackhearted."

Now she's ready.

Hmmm, I think this outfit is a tad daring, but very appropriate for the event.

Nice conversion!
Now LaFemme doesn't plunder V4's wardrobe - it works the other way round too!

Yes! She's got her eye on a few other La Femme numbers in that closet.

Daring ... as you know I would normally send her to the event stark naked, as I am the "Render Man of Nudes," but I am okay with her putting on a dress, and stud earrings, for a grand reopening.

Hi Karina,

Not sure what timezone you're in... Trying to work out when your 19:00 hours is going to be in my timezone (UTC+0).

Here I sit with bated breath. It is Sat Mar 23 and 1:14 pm along eastern USA seaboard, and Google says Ukraine is ahead of us here such that it is now 7:14 pm in Ukraine. I am not sure how this is going to manifest-I suppose a new post from you-but I would wait as long as it takes to see the new things you have been doing to Sasha. I've been reading your threads about the Beta development process, and wish I had signed on to help. Perhaps with Misha.
It is still a wonderment to me that you just give this jewel away. NOBODY, not even the big teams at Daz, has ever made a finer 3d model.

Welcome my dear friends to the grand dress rehearsal for the drama "Sasha Karinina!"!

In the usual tradition of a dress rehearsal which goes wrong is a good omen for the Grande Première - well here we are: Only two hours behind schedule.

I could easily blame it on the poor concièrge (like, she had mislaid the keys for the make-up cabinet or the like), but I won't.
It was my own fault because I simply didn't finish the latest changes to the script on time.

Get ready, the curtain opens - aand:

http://dl.free.fr/nVeVp86wU

Password as usual, and PLEASE DELETE ALL previous "SR1 BETA" runtimes that you still have before installing this version!

There were so many files changed, renamed, removed, and were sent through the "Warp Core Phase Balancer Array" that it's impossible to just "udate" older BETA runtimes.
Instead, have a fresh start!

Waiting for your comments on the new "Easy Pose" dials.
Please check whether they all work correctly!!!
