Pole Dance Poses for Dawn - W.I.P.

Here are preview images about a new pack of poses I'm working on. Probably I'll make for Genesis 2 and Victoria 6. And if someone request, I can make it for V4 and Genesis 1.





And what other kinds of poses do you want?
I would be glad to hear from you. :)

How to make mirror poses in Poser

On the previous tutorial I showed you how to make mirror poses in Daz Studio. Now I'm gonna show you how I do them in Poser and, for me, it works great.
I tried to do this straight in Poser as I did in Daz Studio by clicking on Figure > Symmetry > Swap Right and Left.

Poser does the symmetry pretty well, but when I change the X Translate of the Hip from negative to positive to make Dawn grab the pole, as I did in Daz Studio, she doesn't grab it yet and you would  have to move her on the right position by hand. And not only on X axis but either on Z axis.

So I figured out a solution for this. A plugin for Daz Studio which exports poser formats, Poser Format Exporter (PFE). Now all I have to do is exporting my mirrored poses from Daz to Poser! :D
Here's the settings:

Daz3D PFE plugin

 In the menu you click on Path... to choose the directory in Poser you want to save the pose. In File Name fill with the name of your pose, I put Pole Dance 19_M (M for mirror) and chose the .pz2 format. You can also choose .fc2 for face and .hd2 for hand.
And set the rest as showed in the image.
Here's the result in Poser!

Mirrored Pose From Daz Studio to Poser

Maybe there's a script for Poser to do this well or another method that I don't know, but for me this way works very nice and the PFE I got for free on Daz3D a few years ago. If you know a better way to do the symmetry, please comment! I'll be grateful.

How to make mirror poses in Daz Studio

I'm doing a new set of poses for Dawn, and I've saw a lot of people asking how to mirror poses. So I decided to make this mini tutorial.
So here's the pose I wanna mirror:


Pole Dance Pose

In Daz Studio 4.6 I go on Edit > Figure > Symmetry... or Shift+Y shortcut.
In the Symmetry panel you need to set this settings as shown below.

Note that this pole dance pose is wrong. Dawn is not grabbing the pole as in the original pose. So I have to adjust her.
One thing I do when I make a pose is to move the character around the scene by Hip, not selecting the entire body. Look at the figure below the X Translate value of  the Hip is -16.58.

Symmetry pose

Then I set a positive value 16.58 and now her hands are on the pole. So now you just have to save it as a mirror pose of the first one.

Next post I will teach you how I do that in Poser.
Any doubt, comment. See ya!
