Oh, that look! Sasha's got the look!
Here's my Roxette glory:

Her belting from 3:00 to 3:49 is spectacular. And the lyrics are killer. Best rock ballad ever, in my opinion.

I am away from my studio today, but will load up SR1 tonight and become a good reporter.

I'm working up a list [all good so far!], but this one seems urgent.

If at any time the "666 morph trap" morph gets selected with graph open, Poser either freezes unrecoverable, or crashes to the desktop.

As reported earlier, for some reason when working in the graph, that 666 morph "voluntarily" gets selected, and you are dead.

::::: Opera :::::

Loading sequence streamlining is welcome.

Is there confusion over what "S4 essential means?" You had to explain it to me once. If someone does not have Steph, and they click on S4 Essential, it used to throw errors. I recently acquired Steph during the massive DAZ sale, so I don't know if that error is still there.

Both 01 and 02 will load the base model. When I first encountered Sasha, more than once I loaded two of her! In my opinion, only one of those two should load the base.

1) I can't believe how easy to control the eyes. Stupidly, although I discovered that by selecting an eye, the dials showed up, I never tried to simply move them! Sasha = DirectManipulation! Karina is right, 'selecting' an eyeball is much more reliable and successful than selecting "head," due to Poser obstinancy.

2) Notifications are cool. Proactive assurance you have the right set injected.

3) additional hand morphs, knuckles, are tremendous. For 12 years I have bemoaned V4 hand ugliness and inflexibility. Karina, if for nothing else, control over Sasha's hands shape and pose is a triumph.

::::: Opera :::::

[sidebar] there is discussion at Renderosity about a "prefitter" that transforms V4 clothing to other models. Apparently, they now have a La Femme expansion. I wonder if a V4 to Sasha-16 extension would 1) work; 2) be a worthwhile to pursue.

[[grrr suddenly "add attachement" is not working. I can't upload a small jpg.]]

Reporting: There is a small but noticeable bump or bulge at the point where wrist meets forearm.

10 seconds with the morph brush smoothed it away.

You wouldn't have needed to copy the figure's cr2 into the setup folder: Simply double click the "02 S-16 WM (BASE) LOADER" and the figure will load from the DATA folder.

---

I didn't see a file called 02 S-16 WM (BASE) LOADER in the beta package. My original S-16 is installed in my primary runtime (along with all my free and paid content), but to test the SR1 beta I added it to the library as a separate runtime. I would not have guessed that the (BASE) LOADER file from the original package would also work with the SR1 beta!

I'm assuming you'll release SR1 as a "full package" install, so that anyone new to S-16 can just download and install that rather than having to download and install both the original and the SR1 update?

The EyesUp-Down and Side-Side dials are without function on purpose, because they wouldn't have worked with the synchronized eyes.

---

Makes sense. I'll just hide them in the new S16 "starter figure" I set up once SR1 is released.

In fact, I find it much easier to select an eye in the scene with the mouse than to select the head (you often end up selecting the hair or whatever else, or you have to right-click and search in the "Select Actor" menu).

---

I know you like to pose by selecting things in the scene, and that's what I learned from the first Poser tutorials I watched years ago, but it never worked that well for me. I kept messing things up so badly I'd have to restore the pose and use the dials instead, so now I'm far more comfortable using the dials.

There's also the issue that Poser stubbornly refuses to select what I click on, to the point that I joke that trying to click must mean "do not select this item"! I have to use the contextual menu (ctrl click) to actually select the target item with the mouse. (Maybe this only happens in the Mac version?). I keep the Hierarchy Editor open nearly all the time, so I can easily select things from there.

The only mouse-based tool I use is the "gadget" (the one w/ translate arrows and rotate circles), and I mainly use that with props.

I haven't yet tried using any of Poser's new "facial controls" (on Pauline, I think, and also La Femme?) b/c I'm afraid of what will happen when I try to click on them! I'm pretty sure I'll click on the side of the lip and pull upward, and her ear will twist

The CDI morphs must be visible because of the way you get the morphs into SASHA:

Load "Morphia" into the scene, select SASHA and then click the menu "Copy Morphs From...".

---

Ah, I didn't know that the CDI Morphia injection process was so different from the others, as I don't have it. I do have the CDI Faerime package (facial features only), and when I load those onto S-16 the dials appear in the Morphs group. (In other words, they don't need pre-existing channels.)

But I can just hide the CDI body group on my new S-16 "starter," so that's simple enough!

I hope others are able to do more rigorous testing of the new "injectable" KV. After all the trouble I went to to remove it manually from my original S-16, I'm not going to try injecting it now!!

Oh, and re: your note in the "Readme": Referring to the new "family friendly" version of S-16 as "PG-13" will make sense to American users! The graphic novel I'm using S-16 to create characters for is a young adult urban fantasy and would be considered "PG-13" (at most).

To me personally, the KV-free version of S-16 is also more "female user friendly," only b/c it's kinda weird to see "hidden" parts of my anatomy referenced on my 3D figures! I have no problem with those whose artistic preferences make the KV useful; I'm just not one of them!

PS: I've also never loaded a male figure's genitalia, and I kinda wonder how often others do, when their figures will be clothed?!

When working with a clothed male figure, I hide the boy parts.

I agree with the frustrating obstinacy of Poser to throw "direct selection" back in your face. It's ridiculous.

However, with Sasha, I am now posing head, arms and legs by grabbing and dragging, with occasional dial usage, and the eyes also, just grab one and move it, both eyes and the mesh around them move beautifully.

Good morning. 8:00 AM here in California ...

I am going to launch Poser after coffee and re-do the sequence and give you a screenshot and description of the KV thing ...

Meanwhile, here is the image of the wrist-bump issue

Here is an interesting sequence:

Load as above.
Squashed hip.
Select body part "*KARINA*VAGINA*"
Hit delete.
Say yes to warning.
The entire Sasha model vanishes.
Hit Control-Z
Sasha comes back and the squashed hip is gone.
She is ready to go in all respects.
KV controls work.

::: embarrassing newbie question :::

What does "saving a figure as a preset cr2" mean?
Do i just select "figures" then click the plus sign? And it will save a cr2 to the ??? folder?
