Three suggestions for Pose Builder (not a complaint though)

Pose Builder is a very impressive product and it really does give pose sets new life by easily allowing mixing and experimentation. Like Mask and Multipass Toolbox, I would definitely recommend it to any serious Studio user. However, there are three things about it that I wanted to mention in the hopes that Zev0 and DraagonStorm might see and consider for any future updates.


* It doesn't seem to remember the last location from which a pose was loaded. This can really slow things down when you're trying to get to poses that are deeply nested in folders (which most are). Being able to set a default directory besides the Data one would be nice.

* Please consider adding Waist and Head/Neck adjustment sliders. Posing the Abdomen and Abdomen 2 separately is generally not a good idea, nor is adjusting the Head and Neck individually from each other. The Waist Bend/Rotate/Side-Side and Head/Neck Bend/Rotate/Side-Side are the dials that should be used to pose those regions for best results.

* No undo for camera or body part manipulation. This isn't a huge issue, but so many of us are used to undoing small changes in camera or poses that it feels odd not being able to.

Anyway, thank you for a fine product!

    Despite what SnowSultan sees as shortcomings of this script it is the best purchase I have made at DAZ!

    Zev0 and Draagonstorm this is an awesome product that (now that I have it) I can't see myself without it! I have not even done a render with it yet because I am having such a good time creating and saving poses, this thing rocks!

    The possibilities are endless and now I can easily get those poses that take hours to achieve in a matter of minutes...hell in seconds!

    The points SnowSultan spoke of would for sure improve this already awesome script but they aren't slowing me down at all.

    Pose away my friends, mix-n-match and pose away!

    It should remember where you just selected the last pose from... I know it works for me, and for Zev, not sure who Zev had testing, but didn't hear anything about it not working for any other testers. The first time you look, it does use the default Content Directory Path.

    For now we will not be making any changes to adjustments... But I did add Hands, Left Hand, Right Hand, Feet, Left Foot and Right Foot.

    I also added an Undo button at the bottom of the window that is always accessible.

    Those changes will be submitted to DAZ on Monday.

    Thanks for replying DraagonStorm. It is now remembering the last location for me, I guess it needed to be restarted at least once or something because yesterday it wasn't.

    The Undo, Hands, and Feet updates all sound great, thank you for that as well. I just hit the generated poses with the Zero Abdomens and Zero Head/Neck partial poses I made and make those minor adjustments by hand.

    Take care!

    DraggonStorm were the updates you mentioned above 'cleared' by DAZ and part of a 'new' download of the
    pose Builder?

    Answered my own question, yes, the additions are available! SWEEET!
    Awesome addition of hands, feet and undo...they work great!

    Thank you again for a much needed, wonderfully simple and awesome addition to DAZ Studio!
