Time to model our dress. Go
to the Primitives Tab at the top and click the Cube primitive. Click somewhere
around the mannequins torso and drag up until the cube reaches her neck.
|
 |
|
Click again to set the
size. Before you click anything else, hold the Ctrl key and press the '+'
key on the number pad. This will automatically add some edges to your model
to begin with. At this point, you
need to have something that looks like this before we continue. Now would
also be a good time to save. After your initial save, you should get in the
habit of doing incremental saves so you have a previous copy to go back to
if something happens to the file you are working on. Hit Ctrl-Shift-S
to do an incremental save. |

To position the dress so it
lines up with the centerline of the mannequin, enter '0' in the X and Z
position boxes. Once the dress is
centered, make sure you never move the model along the x-axis (red line) or
it will no longer line up correctly with the mannequin in Poser™. |
 |
|
To make the mannequin visible through the
dress model, you have two options. You can apply a material to the dress by
opening the materials panel and pressing the New button. Note! Make sure
the dress model is selected. Then grab the
slider circled in green and adjust the transparency up to around 0.6, or you
can simply press the "See-Through" button at the bottom of the screen.

Click the X Symmetry button
to turn it on. This will allow any changes made on either side of the model
(left or right) to be mirrored on the opposite side.
Note! Make sure you have the universal gizmo turned on.

Here is what you should have right now
except for: your mannequin should be white (I do this later on), and near
the bottom left corner, it should say the file name of what you have saved
it as [do as I say, not as I do ;)]. |
