Hello-

In Daz Studio 4 Pro I’m trying to rig a piece of clothing for V4 which, I take it, requires the skeleton setup tool. And I can’t for the life of me locate it in any of the menus, tabs, etc.

Puzzled am I!

Can anybody point it out for me?

Thanks!

I think you want the ‘Tool Settings’ tab and the ‘Joint Editor Tool’ (the bone-with-a-sticky-plaster button on the tool bar).

You need:

Windows/Tabs/Figure Setup Tool.

Thanks all!

I think the Figure Setup Tool is what I’ve been looking for, in place of the formerly known as Skeleton Setup tool. Or at least now it looks more relevant and recognizable to the tutorials I’d found.

And the Joint Editor is the next Tool I’ll be needing.

Thanks all again!

Windows > Tabs > Figure Setup

Windows > Tabs > Property Editor

Windows > Tabs > Tool Tab

Those three plus using the Joint Editor Tool are what you basically need for rigging a figure in DS using the older Poser method.

If you need to do it with weight mapping in mind, I am not sure. 

ps, Older tutorials on rigging figures in DS3 are still relevant though some of the tools and features have been renamed and moved in DS4.
