I made some progress on my V4 character and during testing I realized I could not get "Spring" to work. This was after the change needed to map the lower spine to the center chest bone to fix the goofy chest problem but that turns the character back to Custom from Daz 4. There are a bunch of bones in the chest area after a morph but another test on a basic untouched V4 does not seem to work with spring. Can anyone confirm that or is it possible I am missing something here?
Thanks,
TS

if you mean spring breast , turn on the bone display modus in DAZ and check if you see Bones in her breast

My old vicky 4 has no Bones in her breast



Why do you not use Genesis ? She is ready for spring

Morphs have nothing to do with spring in 3D xchange , only Bone are needed .
BTW. You can add Bones with intractive mode in DAZ

Yes Vidi,
That is what I meant. I found a good bikini for V4 and put the morphs to it and thought I was getting somewhere, until the spring didn't work. I guess I need to make my own bikini's or sexy clothing so I know they will fit. I have no problem with the Genesis and spring, but I wasn't expecting it with V4 but now I know. Thanks for your explanation. I will check out what you showed in the pics so I know how to check in the future.
Thanks,
TS

Vidi,
Do you happen to have a tutorial on how to add those bones in interactive mode? Or a few words on how to do it? I selected the bone tool and went to the joint editor but couldn't figure out how to add those 2 bones.
Thanks,
TS

edit: I worked on it and was able to get one bone added but need to practice more on the bone tool as I could not get the bone to rotate like I wanted. Will try in the morning with a fresh brain.

Maybe I have tomorrow time to make a little tutorial.


For Vicky there are still a few things to note.

She has still the old Poser parametric rig and need to converted to
weight mapping mode before here additional rigging can start.
I will show that too.
Is easier for me to show ,as describe it in google english

Vidi,
I know you are very busy and I understand, but just in case you forgot something (hint, hint). Or if you found it to be too much work or impossible to make it work, that is fine, just let me know if adding the spring to V4 can be done or not.
Thanks,
schemer

my recorder had not recorded, so I had no desire to do it again

Therefore Sorry not tutorial here


But really also I see no sence to use vicky , because Genesis is a optimated uni Mesh that can morph in all Shapes also in a vicky. With vicky You can not use DUF file for automatic settings in xchange and you have a lot postwork . It is not impossible but why ?


but here the result you see I worked on it

Vidi,
Ok, thanks for the info and trying to help. I see what you mean and the end result did not even look as good as what Genesis can already do. The main reason I wanted to use Vicki was because I could find more clothes as far as sexy swim wear, than I could in Genesis. But lucky I only bought 1 or 2 bikinis and now I can focus on Genesis clothes, even if I have to learn how to make my own bikinis. But that is a good thing in the long run.
Thanks,
TS

Daz Studio has autofit for clothes. You could probably fit your bikini's to Genesis.
