Renderotica

I can not seem to be able to use poses I've purchased here and on other sites.  When I use the pose it changes the XYZ location and sometimes the origin of the figure, making most of them useless.

if you are posing two or more persons then you can try parenting one base figure to another

Example.  lets say you have a group of sex scenes you want to try and mind you this is with the base figures with little of no morph enhancements

First off   set both figures to Zero  X Y Z  set the bodies  to the zero pose setting

Now if using poser as I'm not sure how DAZ does it but I have to assume they have something like that

Parent the  Female Base to the Male base figure. 

Set the male pose pose first, then set the female pose and she should slip in perfectly into the correct pose.  Now mind you if certain body morphs are enhanced, you might have to do a little pose tweaking

Now one the pose is set, select the male base figure and use the full body option and move him to the desired spot of the setting.  Since the Female Base is parented to him, she will be right by his side

do a quick 360 to make sure the pose looks good from, any POV and Poses purchased at Renderotica are supposed to be perfect in any POV setting and then do your render.

Then if you want to do the next sequence, simply pose the male base body first and then the female

Mind you this is for pair posing if you have three base figures for say a three some  then parent the 3rd figure to the first Male Base

Shameless Product Plug:

All of my G8 and most of my G3 poses are designed specifically to NOT move your figures base position in scene unless they go with a specific environment. :)

But yes, you can use the ctrl-click method to use anyones poses without moving the root node so long as the pose was not designed with the root node moved at an odd angle. If the root node in the pose file isn't flat or the hip was translated far from the root node, then the figure may still move or become misaligned with its couples partner.

Afraid to say that many pose sets revert back to the 0.00 X Y Z positions when the pose is clicked.  And I own a lot of poses.

frankly I am surprised when a pose set does not revert back to the Zero X Y Z point.  I do have many of the I-13 props and do enjoy the Go To pose options for that set but even that requires the base set to zero parameters.  I keep a yellow pad in front of me when doing pose work and I jot down the X Y Z parameters of my base, just incase the poses applied move them back to the zero settings, I strike the pose and then use the coordinate to bring them right back to where they were   A pain I know
