Newbie with boning Q

rol3d

Sheez; I just posted this and can't find it ... so here it is again. How long is the delay from post to appearance in this forum?

I have looked all over but cannot find a simply explanation/tut on how to take an object from Hex over to Daz and bone it.

To make it simple, lets say I created a long hose/string/rope (in Hex) and want to being it over to Daz with the ability to pose it. I take it I need to create 'links' and bone each one hierarchically , but how do I get these links defined (presumably in Hex).

Thanks for any help!

Here's the best free tutorial I know of on rigging:
Part 1
Part 2 (this one covers adding bones)

There's also this tutorial which is available for purchase...I've heard very good things about it:
Rigging Original Figures in DS4 Pro
Advanced Rigging in DAZ Studio 4 Pro (sequel to the above)

And if you'd like to add some pose control dials after that:
