I have M3, M4, V3, V4...and just about every Egypt download available but for the life of me cannot use the CROOK & FLAIL is there a step by step someone could provide me? The images would really look nice if I could use it. Everytime I try to load it
my characters hand ends under itself in a very painful looking position. Do I have to load another item and merge crook/flail to it? And the same issues occurred with palm trees but I'm less concerned with them then trying to get darn crook and flail to load up. PLEASE HELP!

    Are you having trouble loading the items or posing the figure holding them? If you have the Egyptian Action poses, the props needed are in the old Pharaoh's Fantasy Platinum Club freebie which can be downloaded from this thread http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/8880/

    OKAY then.
    First if you did not get a response from the FIRST thread then others might not be able to help you.
    Second you might need to offer more information than you have.
    Third I do not have the item's in question or I would offer what advice I could.

    Which set of items? A link please.
    Used with Which Figures? M4, Genesis, Genesis M4 shape or other.
    These will maybe help users help you. And maybe a Screen shot of the problem you are having. Info will get help most times.

    I recieved a response but it was no direct or to the point, it was similar to your initial response and in the first post I listed exactly what Items I have. I have litterally all figures (especially the ones required for any egyptian package) but if a person must have a figure to answer my question than lets use the Michael 3 figure for example with the Egptian Action M3 product. It okay that you do not have items I only seek assistance from someone who may know how to utilize these props or perhaps providing me a direction towards someone who may know.

    Heres a link: http://www.daz3d.com/egyptian-action-for-m3
    Used with: with M3...

    What I am looking for is..
    1. Step 1. load M3 figure
    2. Step 2. locate "crook & flail"
    3. Step 3. Load hand positions "crook & flail"
    4. etc......

    Just a simple step 1, 2, ... processs to use with my project I hope this is enough I cant provide a screen shot for problem other than explain my issue....I need assistance from someone who can tell me how to load these props to be utilized in my school project. Thanks!!!!!

    Just to help you I just BOUGHT this set. The Crook and Flail do not come with the Set. Only the Cane pole and Brush come with the Set. The Crook and Flail are Props form another set that the person made POSES for in this set. You will need the M3 set that includes the Crook and Flail to use the poses from this set.

    The Cane and Brush auto load in the proper places and the Poses for them work properly once loaded as shown below.

    If the answer to your previous thread wasn't helpful don't start a new thread, which forces people to go over the same ground again; instead add another reply to the existing thread. I have merged your two threads - and in fact my previous reply does answer your question, at least in part, as you need to freebie I mention to get the crook and flail: until you have those you aren't going to e able to place them in any figure's hands.

    LOL!! Work just fine if you have the props. Follow Richards advice.
    Only extra step is to Parent the Props to the Hands.

    Are you a PC member?

    The Crook and the Flail are PC member freebies available through the members only forum. Richard included the link above but if you aren't a PC member, you won't be able to download the products.

    RDNA has quite a few Egyptian products in their Real Deals.

    Select the prop, activate the Universal Tool widget, its icon looks like the cursor in the screen shot. Use the widget to drag and rotate the prop to the figure's hand, it is important that this be done when the figure is in its zeroed position and pose. Right-click on the prop and click 'Change "prop name" Parent'. Find the figure's hand that the prop is aligned to, with a lot of things in the scene this can take a bit of searching. Once the hand is found select and make sure 'Parent in Place' is checked, click accept.

    If you pose the fingers and thumb to grip the prop at this point remember to lock the dials so they stay gripped when applying other poses.
