Hi people!

2. Pose for Cock-O-Rama All Purpose Cock.

Step 1: Apply the pose you want to save. (In my case, he's got problems... LOL)



Step 2: In the "Scene" tab, select the Genitalia Core


Step 3:
Select File > Save As > Hierarchical Pose Preset

Step 4:
Save the file as "pose_name_goes_here.duf" somewhere within your Daz Studio content area. (By default, this is "C:\Users\Public\Documents\My Daz Library"), so maybe make a folder underneath that called "Personal Stuff" and save it inside there.

Step 5:
Next, you'll get a dialog that looks like this:

Just click "Accept"

That's it.

To apply the preset, select the Genitalia Core in the scene tab, navigate to the file you saved earlier using the "Content" tab, (you might need to right-click on the "Daz Studio Formats" item at the top and click "Refresh" to get the "Personal Stuff" folder to show up) double-click on the file, and the pose will be applied to both the Genitalia Core and also the All-Purpose Cock.

Greetings.

Thank you for trying to help.
But I didn't understand how to make one hierarchical pose out of two.
Unfortunately, English is not my native language.

Here is a video of the process.

I'm not understanding your problem. You set the position of the APC, then you save a pose preset from Genitalia Core, which automatically includes the position of the APC. When you reset the APC's position and re-applied the first pose you saved, it automatically set the position of the APC, which is what I thought you were trying to do. Why do you even need to make the second pose? Seems that the first pose you saved does everything you wanted.

Hello.
I showed the process in the video as I understand it.
I am not getting what you are talking about.
I can only save the pose for one element.
The second element remains unchanged.
Please help me keep one hierarchical pose out of two simple ones.
Thanks.

First, you cannot take two independent poses and combine them after having saved them. Daz Studio just doesn't support doing that.

So, to create a hierarchical pose, the two items have to be parented to one another. So, you have a parent and a child. And then what you do is select the parent item, create a hierarchical pose, and it saves the pose for the item that you have selected, and also its children, all in a single pose file. So there's only one pose involved, but it contains the pose data for both items.

In your case, the All-Purpose Cock is parented to the Genital Core. So, when you select the Genital Core and do "Save As > Hierarchical Pose", it saves the settings for both the Genital Core and the All-Purpose Cock all into a single pose file. So later, you apply the Hierarchical Pose to the Genital Core, and it will restore the pose settings to both the Genital Core and the All-Purpose Cock.

Your video actually showed that - when you applied the Hierarchical Pose you saved off the Genital Core, it changed the All-Purpose Cock as well. So, you're doing the right thing with the Genital Core, but saving the pose off the All-Purpose Cock is unnecessary.

I don't know how to describe it any more simply than that.

All my attempts to maintain a single hierarchical pose of two simple ones have not been successful.
