[Released] Assembly Line Pose Automation Kit [Commercial]

gitika1

Understood.  It worked.  It took 24 minutes for a single set of poses those, so I'll save the entire directory for when I don't want to use my pc.  Thanks for the help!

Great!  You're welcome!

Select ignore.  That is the safest.  That option is for if you want to add the Assembly line as a custom action, then you could select presets directly from Content Library and have it add them when it is started through the custom action.

Your base directory is wrong.  If you hover over the "Set Base Directory for Poses" button, it states that the Base directory should be set based on INPUT files.  In the case of your screenshot, your base directory should be set to E:/Daz 3D Content/People/Genesis 3 Female/Poses.  

These were the 2 biggest things for me to have to remember. Once I had that down everything else makes much more sense.

One of the things that fixed my problem was that I needed to do the ignore or just clear anything from the preset list before I added any actual pose presets. I was doing poses I had created myself so they weren't categorized already and the script wasn't finding any categories to work against. Once I edited the script for my own custom use by taking out the categories line, it all worked fine. I'll have to remember to categorize poses I make myself FIRST before running the original script.

I also had to get used to thinking of the Use Base Directory as the INPUT and the "ask" part of the script as the OUTPUT.

This trips up people the most I think.

Hi.  Need help please.

Have used your Assembly/Bone products for G3>G8 conversions and extracting hand poses. Worked great.
Now am trying 2 other options that your product offers and am having having issues with both.

(1)Assembly Line Move Figure Transformations to Hip

Here is my log file.
At start G8F is selected, open script, add the pose preset, run, and i get a dialogue box saying "Need to select Figure or bone".
Have tried all the combinations I can think of to trick it into working, including selecting hip vs G8F vs G8F & hip. No luck.

PS.  Not sure why it shows G3F in log.  Probably orig pose was G3F, but is released as G8F and works fine on G8F&M.  Not sure it matters.  But thought would clarify anyway.

(2) Tried to convert my G8F Hands Dial up product so the G8M can use too.  
The set compatibility works when i check under the data editor.  But still pose doesn't work.
Also trying to convert the pose doesn't really work.  I get new pose dufs with duf-pngs with of in default pose, even though it should show posed.  Click it, and again nothing.
Does this maybe not work on all sets?  Or am i doing something wrong?

This assembly line was set up to work for Genesis 3 Female (that is why you see that).  To set it for Genesis 8 Female:

1. Go to Editor tab
2. Double click on the "Select Body Parts" line
3. Check the top-level "Genesis 8 Female" body part only
4. Click Accept
5. Now try and run the Assembly Line

Hey great! It worked.  Thank you.
did have to delete the female eyelashes that is auto-loaded, or it gave another error.  But that was easy to understand and fix.

That was the most important thing I wanted to fix.
But could you still comment as to part 2, and the hands converting?
I will be building more hands presets, and just trying to understand what parameters/limits am working under.

Great!

For part 2, what assembly line are you using?  For the Save Pose Preset step, which option are you checking?

Saxa -- SD

Thanks for quick reply :)

Used both:
Assembly Line Create Poses For Figure Type
Assembly Line Make Preset Compatible for Figure

But with your reply, that implied it should work, made me dig a bit more.
DL'd the manual install file for Hands Dial Up product.

Now see that this product actually works based on morphs and not actual poses.
Yes, there are poses, but those dufs all have 0,0 for key values.
Which confused me.
So,
Checked in the Daz/Data folder (as opposed to Daz/people/Genesis 8 Female/Poses) and saw morphs like this one in a .dsf:

"output" : "lThumb1:/data/DAZ%203D/Genesis%208/Female/Genesis8Female.dsf#lThumb1?rotation/x",
                    "operations" : [
                        { "op" : "push", "url" : "Genesis8Female:#Left%20Hand%20Pose%2001?value" },
                        { "op" : "push", "val" : 35.52138 },
                        { "op" : "mult" }
                    ]
So since it's not actually a pose but a morph pack, can't convert it I guess?
Learned something new lol.

BTW, Thanks for all your great products!  Makes things easier and more fun.

 

Update: Well there is a way.  But this time nothing to do with your helpful product.  Working for G8M now.  Normally would just buy the G8M product too, but since plan on making own morphs and activate with pose clicks, this was all actually very helpful to figure out a workflow for myself.  Your product got me going exploring.  So thanks again!

thanks to saxa__3D for bringing this up, and thanks to riversoftart for answering it.

i've had the same issues.

are there any other example/supplied scripts in the package that are set up for g3f rather than g8f?  might as well edit them all at one time.

The ones with Save Pose Preset may be tripped up.

jardine

thank you, yes, i seem to be running into that.

it's an encrypted .dse file in my runtime, though...the only encrypted file of the batch.  mind uploading a .dsa that i can tweak?

double-clicking the preset in the assembly line editor just launches the action for me.

If you double-click the Save Pose Preset line in the assembly line editor, it starts the Save Pose Preset dialog in a mode where you can set the options.  Clicking OK on the Save Pose Preset dialog does not actually do a save, it changes the input parameters for the Save Pose Preset LINE in that assembly line.

jardine

ah.  okay.  thanks.

i'd still like a non-encrypted version of the script to look at and fiddle with, if you don't mind.  mostly because i'm a little OCD, and i've looked under the hood of all the other scripts in the collection, and manually adjusted most of them.  (the best of luck to you wherever you are, Tom's external hard drive!)

if you do mind, that's fine though.  proprietary IP goes with innovation like ham goes with eggs.  :)

Unfortunately, that script includes lots of other scripts to do the actual functionality (combined with other stuff), and I am not comfortable with giving you those.  It would be a lot of work to break out just what you need.  Sorry.

jardine

no worries.

hope you don't mind my asking.

Hey River, I am trying to use the "Move Figure Transformations To Hip" script from this product on G8F base figure. I have the G8F loaded in scene, standard A pose, then I click on the script for it and from that popup box box under "Input" I click on "Add Files" and select the pose preset, auto checks it, then I change the drop down from "Selected" to checked, have tried it both ways, and click on execute, base directory is fine as it to overwrite but also have set a custom directory as well same issue either way, and then I get an error stating that I need to select a figure or a bone. I started by trying to do a whole set of poses from a vendor whose poses all need to be moved to the hip then when I couldn't get it to work I changed to a different vendors' poses to try it on but same issue. I have also tried using the "Assembly Line Editor" script and adding the preset for "Move Figure Transformations To Hip" and still same error. I have also tried selecting the hip instead of G8F main node. I read through the PDF and hovered over tooltips from within ALE but I cannot seem to discover where I am going wrong. I have included screenshots below. Thanks for your time.

When the assembly line was written, it was set to select Genesis 3 Female body parts.  To use it for Genesis 8 Female, go to the Editor tab, double click the "Select Body Parts" and then check "Genesis 8 Female":

No, it will not.  It works with pose presets and not pose dials.

carrie58

okay umm  have you ever thought about making a script to create pose dials?

carrie58 said:

Not really.  When I use pose products, I find that pose dials get in the way and so avoid them.

oh okay that makes sense......well I'll quite bugging you and get back to learning how to use all the scripts .......thanks

I'm afraid I don't understand this part:  "Assembly Line Pose Automation Kit creates normal poses only; hierarchical poses will be converted to normal poses. "

If I wanted to use this to create partial poses (right arm for example) from a set of poses, what would I end up with?  Since you are setting up top half and bottom half I assume that's possible, but I don't know how that releates to the quoted sentence.

The poses would be a Pose Preset and not a Hierarchical Pose preset.  Hierarchical Pose presets save a pose and position of attached objects (save a sword or hair).  Assembly Line cannot save hierarchical pose presets.  It only saves the figure poses (whether the full body or just specific bones)

Hi Riversoft, use your Pose Save Script all the time.  :)

Ran into an issue that maybe you can give some insight on?
Issue is re: H.Poses.
The quote above makes it clear that normal poses only.
However, if anybody might know, you may well know?

If i want to make saved poses for figure node and even 1 attached geograft, I find myself having to make 3 saved poses.  Time Consuming.
(1) Your script for the figure, ultra fast, which avoids the whole facial rigs :) (worth the price of your script alone)
(2) Daz Pose save for Zevo's Poses on main figure, as they aren't included in (1), even if toggle the ultra slow Include Poses.
(3) Daz Pose save for Geograft node attached to (1).

And DAZ H.Poses are a nightmare to toggle on/off time-wise.  I tried.  So not an option to even look at further it seems.

So wondering if any insight?
Guessing this is a niche product.  But time is money, or so i heard ;)

No, sorry, I do not know how to help you.   I would have assumed you just have to do the H.Poses work.

 

Saxa -- SD

No worries at all. :)  Knew there was only a slim chance.  But had to ask. Thanks for info! 

Will keep using my 3 quick saves presets for each pose.  Guess more control if i want to tweak one pose preset, as opposed to resave for all 3 in one.
