Remap Daz Laura 3

This tutorial guide you in the creation of your 
Laura 3 figure with Magic Perfect G! Morphs Targets

Daz Laura 3 copyright doesn't allow to distribute the Daz Laura 3 cr2 file in any way
For this reason I have thought about to write this easy tutorial
for allow to whoever to create the yours own Daz Laura 3 remapped

You need these programs:

UVmapper By Stephen L. Cox (Free program) downlodable here: (thanks Cox!)
http://uvmapper.com/downloads.html
Windows user: Download UVMapper Classic Version 0.26b (USE the Last Version!)

A text editor as Notepad or NoteTabLight (downlodable free: http://www.notetab.com)

Step 1

Open the UVMApper program by Stephen L. Cox
http://uvmapper.com/downloads.html
This is the UVMapper window look:

Load the mesh object Laura 3 geometrie 
Select the Menu "File" -> option: "Load Model"

 

The Laura 3 geometries are in this folder:
../Runtime/Geometries/DAZPeople/blYTGirl.obj

After the model loading, the Uvmapper shows the object statistics...Press the button "OK" 

Then the UVMapper window will have this look
Don't touch nothing, leave all thus. 

 Step 2

Now you must import the UVS file.
Select the Menu "File" -> option: "ImportUVs..."

If you have correctly installed the product, 

The "blYTGirl_MPG.uvs" file is in this folder:

../Geometries/DAZPeople/blYTGirl_MPG.uvs

An UVS file contains all the object UV coordinates (UVMap).

After you have loaded the UVs file , it looks as if nothing has changed, but this is not true, because now the Victoria_v3 mesh object has a new UVmap!

Step 3

Now you must save this new geometry

IMPORTANT! - Remember giving a different name to the new object, otherwise you overwrite the original Laura 3.obj geometries.

Select Menu "File" -> option: "Save Model..."

UVMapper opens a new window:
Don't touch nothing,leave all the options unchanged.

Press the button "OK" and save the file.

Select this path: "../Runtime/Geometries/DAZPeople"

Save the New Stephanie 3 file with this name: "blYTGirl_MPG.obj"

(Please, respect the path and the files names from me suggested)

Well, The new geometrie file is ready!

Now you need to build manually the CR2 file using a text editor as Notepad or NoteTabLight (downlodable free: http://www.notetab.com)

Open Your Text Editor and load your Laura 3 Cr2  files.

(the cr2 path: "..Runtime/libraries/character/DAZ People/")

The cr2 file in your text editor is similar to this image:

 

All tex editor have a function named: "Replace" in the Menu "Search" (or "find&Replace"). This function searches a word or a phrase and replaces it with a different word or phrase.
For Victoria,  you need to replace the word "blYTGirl.obj .obj" 
with the new word 
"blYTGirl_MPG.obj"

Select the menu "Search" and then the option "Replace"

then press the button "Replace All"

Now save the file as a new name (as ex. "Laura3_MPG.cr2" )


IMPORTANT! Don't forget the extension ".cr2" Otherwise Poser won't recognize the file
