Problems with posing
CZ
Posts: 160
I tried to pose Joy as I did several times before, but now I have problems with that. I only tried to bend the shoulder to get the arm down, but it come out very bad as you can see in the attachment. For comparison I did the same with Rune and it worked perfectly. Is somebody else facing this problem? And what can I doo, to get it fixed?
Thanks a lot!

Another try: Shoulder bend at 80/-80 for all characters, Joy, Rune and Alice. I'm sure I haven't had this problem some days ago. Don't know what happend there.
I closed Daz and started it again with a new scene. No changes. It is getting worse if I use one pose preset. I tried several poses for G3F, but basically they all look weird like this one. Poor Alice.
Select Joy and then look at what is listed under currently used in the Shaping Tab. What's listed? Do you have the morph packs that were required?
Wow! That's crazy. I just closed and opened Daz again, as I did several times before. I reopened the same scene from above and now everything is fine. I haven't changed anything. I really don't know what happend here. Also the pose preset works now.
Something had broken the link between the morph and the joint centres, which need to be moved when a shape changes the size or position of the mesh belonging to a bone - in this case making it smaller, so without the adjustments the centres of rotation were further out than the shape needed. If it happens again please open your log file (Help>Troubleshooting>View Log) and work up from the bottom to see if there are any errors relating to loading the figure or adding the character.
Thanks a lot! I will keep that in mind. But hopefully this will not happen again. For now everything works fine again.
Since than I had to face this problem several times again. But usually it worked if I closed and opened Daz two or three times. But now it is not that easy. Currently I have a scene with Izabella 7 and some custom morphs, where the posing gets weird. I lokked at the log file and the only thing, I can see, which semms to be related to the morph are these warnings:

But I don't know how to fix this problem. So I would love to get some hints what to do now. Thanks in advance. :)
