    I think this will be a trend as ERC dials are something that the community wants by-and-large. I personally wonder if it's possible to do ERC dials with poses...

    If you mean making dials for existing poses, sure, at least *.duf poses.

     

    Load, say, G3F, and apply the pose. G3F should be selected for next steps.

    Click with right mouse button of the parameters tab (on the letters Parameters) to get a menu and from the menu select Edit Mode. You will get a P next to parameters.

    Click with right mouse button on any of the parameters to get a menu and from menu pick ERC Freeze.

    In ERC Freeze Options window, click on "Create New..." button.

    Now, in Create New Property window, I usually just type in the name and hit "Create" button. But you might take a time to fill in name, label, path (thats the menu dials will be in parameters tab; if you wish to make a new menu just type it manually or add to existing ones, like Actor/Pose Dials) and Type, like Modifier/Pose. Once done, click "Create" and in ERC Freeze Options window you should have your "new property name" in the Property field. Click on the "Accept" button and you should now have a dial for that pose in whatever menu you decided to put it in, dialed already to 100%.

    Dial it to 0, apply next pose to the G3F and repeat the procedure (with different name for the new property). :)

    You can save the dials with File - Save As - Support Asset - Morph Asset(s)...

    To exit/deactivate Edit mode, click with right mouse button on the parameters tab and in the menu click again on Edit Mode.

    Here, I just mixed first 10 G3F poses. :D

    It depends on which bits of the apple are being mentioned. The more superficial/ skindeep the rot being complained about the less reactivity! I think anyway!

    A healthy marketplace can only happen with genuine product review mechanism. I don't know how the PAs get real feedback except from sales and random forum gossips. Not scientific.

    How did this apple discussion got in here anyway? lol smiley

    Keeping on topic...

    Some basic tips for DS newbies...

    Pose controls are consider morph assets in DS. 

    G3F pose control naming now has has a 'p', so enter pCTRL instead of just CTRL.

    Also I'm mulling on over-generating pose controls and thus rosking potential pose presets having 'missing controller' issue? Is there such a thing?

    Now I save 1-frame pose presets without pose dials and see if that works better... I like visual cue of thumbs!

    Not really the same as having a bunch of reviews from buyers on the page though
