    Looking for one of those wooden, basic figures that artists pose and use to draw from.

    Do you happen to have Poser? or the PoserDebut that was free for a day or two?
    Runtime\libraries\Character\Additional Figures\Mannequins

    Nope, I just have DS 4.0

    Actually you can rig in DAZ Studio 4.0. If you have Pro there are tutorials that show you how.
    As for your mannequin the artist provides you with an fbx file. When you select the fbx format it comes in with the bits and parts separated. What you do is go to File -> Import. After you have selected the fbx file, DAZ will come back with an error message Errors: Rigging limitation: pre and post rotation must match in current implementation. Transform differences: non uniform scale detected. Results will likely be different. Select ok. What you get are seven objects and 12 grouped object sets. Some of the objects come in 90 degrees out of position, so you will have to realign them. I also set up the figure in the scene by parenting the various body parts. So I started with the Pelvis object. and parented the spinelink to it. I took the torso object and parented it the spinelink. Then the neck I parented to the torso. I continued to do this for the arms and legs. I do this so that when I start to move the object I can sort of keep things aligned. since I am not truly rigging the figure.
    Once you have the set up you can save your guy as an actor. Then you can pose him. And if you are really ambitious you can dig out those rigging tutorials and go to town.

    OK, my brain may have just snapped.
    (Doesn't help that I have a terrible hangover whilst reading this)
    I don't have Pro, just the free ds4.0
    But I think Iunderstand the other stuff, never heard of an FBX file before. I shall give this a go.
    Thanks for the info.

    EDIT: I downloaded the mannequin, but when I went on File>import all I got was OBJ files, no sign of FBX files.

    You might also need to upgrade to version 4.6, which should already be in your Product Library. (If DIM doesn't download it for you automatically, click on "My Account" up in the upper-right corner of this page, click on "Product Library" on the row just below the ad, type 4.6 into the search box, click on Filter, click on the DAZ Studio 4.6 Pro link, and start downloading...)

    Hi,

    Looking for a hand held mirror.

    Thanks.

    I need to make one, but it will probably be a bit on the fancy side
    What style were you looking for?

    My poor old computer can just barely manage DS4.0, it won't cope with 4.6 trust me. It is dying. Sadly a new one is not a financial option at the moment.

    that's actually pretty nice, the one in the Oian Dresser, I might use that too.

    mine is not going to be finished tonight, I've got conflict of schedule. Possibly tomorrow.

    With minor adjustments to the material zones, this one works great as a plain Deco hand-mirror.

    OS is windows Vista, RAM is 2 gigs, as for the other stuff, I have no idea. I've been informed that using DS4.6 with only 2 gig is a terrible grind.

    Brick meet wall.
    The bottleneck in your system is RAM but RAM is cheap for some systems. 4GB RAM would open the system up a bunch and a minor and very simple adjustment in Vista would let DS use 3GB RAM just for Studio, however I don't think it would be sufficient long term except for very simple scenes. One thing that might help here and now and it's free would be to render outside of Daz Studio using 3Delight's standalone rendering system, this cuts Daz Studio out of being the middle man and allows you to render without it running opening up all the RAM it was eating by being open because as soon as you begin to render that's more required RAM you need.
    If you want to look into adding RAM and the cost I could find out if you posted your computer make/model. RAM is very easy to add, just dont rub a balloon in your hair while dragging your feet across a cat and you can install it in a few minutes.

If you can run 4.0, you can run 4.6.

    this would assume everyone uses software the same exact way. SteveM17 has stated he can "just barely manage DS 4.0" and other users have stated upgrading from DS4 to 4.5 created a non usable experience, The question is are you able to use it comfortably or are you finding yourself making compensations for it to work for you?

    While it's free to try to jump over to 4.6 and take a test drive does anyone know if 4 and 4.6 can co-exist on the same system without causing a problem?

    2ndly the prop I was working on is turning into a slightly larger project so delays on releasing it.

It's one or the other. 4.6 overwrites 4.0. As for making "compensations", no. I'm making no more compensations than I was for 4.0. And, for the record, I was a long-time holdover with 4.0. I only upgraded because certain morph and clothing sets I needed wouldn't run on 4.0.

    I am running DS 4.6.2 on 2GB machine too and it works perfectly, i can run V4.5 and V4.6 at the same time with V4.6.2. I have Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33ghz processor that works perfectly for few years already and Nvidia 8600GT card that probably replaced older one that i had before. I guess it slows down after 3+ figures loaded but i never really tried to do more then 3 figures yet and for now all i need i probably could do fast enough. Only once DS 4.6 crashed with 3 figures loaded and i was thinking to add 2GB more but i doubt it would change much, but that is what i will probably do and keep this computer as long as it can work :).

    My computer is a Toshiba laptop, don't know what type because the label has faded (that's how old it is). Under Processor it says "Intel (R) core (TM)2 CPU T7200 @2.00GHz

    Frankly, I have no idea about computers.

    I'm not going to upgrade to 4.6 until I know 100 percent it's going to work on my computer, because if I overwrite 4.0 and it doesn't work I'm left with nothing.

    DON'T rub a balloon while dragging my feet across a cat? That's my weekend ruined!

    Never thought about rendering outside DS. My renders have never taken more than a few minutes though. The slow part is putting the scene together. The fact of the matter I think , is that my computer is old and sadly I could do with a new one.

    Anyway, back to my original request, I may have been too specific. What I'm looking for is a posable, thin humanoid figure, the idea being that I'd use that as a framework and parent props to it to turn it into a robot.

    I need a baseball glove (preferably outfielder's) that A3 can wear. Lacking that, a prop glove will work.

    Are there any out there that I've somehow missed?

    EDIT: Never mind - found one in Shukky's baseball uniform.
