Millenium Dragon not working right in DS4.6?

I didn't use the Millenium dragon in 4 or 4.5 that I recall so i can't say when it stopped working...

But now when I try to bend the dragon's forelegs (the shins) they warp into a terrible bow shape. It's deforming very badly, making the dragon practically unusable unless I keep the leg straight at the foreleg.

I'm going to be majorly depressed if I can't use that dragon anymore. :(

    The original Millennium Dragon, or version 2?

    On further inspection it looks like the twist is causign the most severe deformation. If its not bent its not so noticable, but if its bent and twist, it deforms badly. Attaching a pic so you can see what i mean!!

    The dragons usually load scaled up - what happens if you scale it back down? That does look like a problem with the joint centre placement - if you select the Joint Editor Tool you should see where the bone's start and end points are.

    I think LE was a cut down Mil Dragon 2, but not certain of that.

    Normally loads at 250% but scaling to 100 did not fix anything.Something is clearly wrong with the bone in its arms as shown in this pic with joint editor:

    I'm not getting that - could you try reinstalling the dragon, in case something has happened to the CR2 (or OBJ).

    I can't replicate this with either Mil Dragon LE or Mil Dragon 2 -- can you check exactly which one it is and the pose and rotations that cause this?

    Sorry for slow response, daz forum is still not reliably sending forum notifications.

    BTW the file says Millennium Dragon LE but it also looks like it could be the Dragon that came in the (now inactive) 3D starter content bundle.

    Arg. I decided to install the Sub Dragon, and i have installed it 3 times, but when I try to load in Daz it says it can't find the stupid support folder. HELP.

    Where is it installed, and is that location mapped as a Poser-format content folder? Is it installed to the same location as GSE?

  • DisparateDreamerDisparateDreamer Posts: 2,506

    Uh... its in the Runtime folder, and the DS mats are in the upper directory above runtime with all the other DS stuff. And the location is all mapped, but yes it shows up in the poser format directory. I have no idea what GSE is...

    Ah I see, thanks Vaskania. Genesis Starter Essentials is in the same Directory, just higher up above runtime, I assume. Everything Is installed in D:DS4 folder (my C drive is too small, I had to install my content in the D drive)
