Hello, I am excited to start to use this amazing product and 3d models. I am a photographer. and I was wondering if it is easily possible to infuse the pictures of my models with parts of the 3d Models here. I am thinking sexy cyborg type stuff. replace part of her arm, or legs with some of the models. anyone have good suggestions? in my head it would work something like i take the picture, import or overlay into Poser, bring in a model that I want into Poser, put the 3d model in the same pose, and render it, then in photoshop mask out the stuff?

better ways?

    I recommend the Cyberpunk for M4]Cyberpunk for M4 and its expansion set. They look great, come with a bunch of gear, and can fit Genesis figures easily through Auto fit. here's an example:

    What I am trying to do is replace parts of a real human with poser parts. I took this picture and would love to make her more cyborg

    Yeah. These programs aren't really designed for that. That's more Photoshop's thing. This content is designed to be fit to Poser and DAZ figures, which are then posed and rendered in fully lit 3d scenes. To try to do what you're thinking of would require matching the lights of your photo perfectly, as well as shaping (through dial spun or custom shaping morphs) and posing a figure to match your model exactly (no easy task), then fitting the cyber limbs, rendering the image, compositing it with your photo, lining the model with the 3d figure, and then painting out the original 3d figure. Even then, things like reflections and such won't necessarily match up.

    Not exactly what you want to do, but a similar concept. Take a look at:

    Something you may want to look at if you were to come at it from a purely photo-manipulation angle would be these:

    http://www.daz3d.com/rons-cyborg-parts

    They are 2D layers and brushes which could be composited and blended in photoshop or similar program of your choice with your original (check out last promo image there which shows an example where this was done - the original in that case was a poser render, but like your photo, i believe the render didn't have much in the way cyborg parts before it went into photoshop).

    You could also look at rendering 3D backdrops and scenes with props and other figures, and then use photoshop to composite your photographed subject in, and then further composite cyborg elements onto your subject's body.
