There is a way for G8M and the fat bile to pose together .. Cannot figure it out. Tried parenting 8 to the bike, and vice versa. Tried fitting the wearable bike to 8...and vice versa. no parent, no fit , and nothing works... G8M poses the bike stays there...and 8 is not posed on the bike correctly. Also, the bike blows apart sometimes. 

Frustrating.

    If the bike has a wearable preset with the poses, I would assume the process would be: Load G8M, select G8M and load the wearable preset, then apply the pose which would apply to both if the bike is correctly attached to G8M since it is a hierarchical preset. If you aren't loading the wearable onto the figure, it may not attach properly, and if it is a wearable preset you shouldn't need to be doing any fitting yourself. Otherwise do you have a screenshot of your scene panel so someone could check if it is applyig everything properly? I don't have the product so I don't know precisely what it should look like when loaded.

    AlmightyQUEST has described the process accurately. Since he doesn't have the product, he didn't know to mention that the wearable preset for the bike is actually in the pose product, not the bike product. So, to summarize:

    1. Load G8M
    2. With G8M selected in the Scene pane, double click on the "DBHP !Wearable" in the Dirt Bike Poses for Genesis 8 male. That will load the bike and parent it to G8M's hip.
    3. With G8M still selected in the Scene pane, apply any of the poses from Dirt Bike Poses for Genesis 8 male. That will pose G8M and the bike.

    strange. i started a new scene...loaded G8M ..then the wearable bike..posed..AOK ... then loaded ground stuff... prior I had loaded ground before G8M ... something interfering, not sure what. 
    Just so you can see, here is how the bike explodes

    That almost looks like the sort of thing that happens when a dforce simulation goes wrong. Any chance of that?

    no... I didn't touch that at all... but you're right on the look for sure.  I guess I'm going to have to load the other stuff 1st and see if it happens again.

    You could actually get the bike and rider all set up solo and save it as a scene and then merge it into the other scene. I do this all the time, especially for complex scenes.

    I really like the lighting in the meshed up test scene though

    Hi Daveso! Glad to see you got the poses working. I was just alerted to your problem and came in to see if I could help, but it looks like it's all as it should be...other than that weird exploding bike.... Not sure what went wrong there. It certainly didn't do any of that when I built the set. Nor did it happen during testing (otherwise Jen would have crawled all over me to fix it! Lol!!)

    In future, you need to remember to select your figure (in this case Genesis 8 Male) before applying the wearable preset, otherwise the hierarchical pose presets (the poses that work on both the figure and the prop) won't work correctly. As for the exploding bike render, I can only guess that DS decided to rebel for whatever reason. Possibly a dForce preset was activated on the bike? Or maybe space aliens? Lol.

    If you ever have problems again with any of my poses, please feel free to contact me via site mail here and I will be happy to work with you to get the results you're looking for (and should be getting when using my pose sets.)

    thank you very much smiley  Yes..I think it space aliens, or he rode into a warp zone. It is a strange one for sure.
