This tutorial is a walk through project to made a 'pill' with "content", lots of content for lots of "bones".
The principles learned can apply to many types of props. Have fun :-)

Thank you, Patience. I always learn from your tutorials.
Thank you again.
You're all welcome. I'm glad it's useful. :-)
You have a talent for making tutorials that are simple and easy to follow :)
Thank you. ;-)
"Legacy rigging"?
Thank You, one of good tutorials I will need to read trough and try doing it :)
You're welcome. I would suggest making just the pill casing first. If you find the rest "too much", you could also model the rest and just make each side as a prop, parenting that to the casing.
I'll be more verbose :) What is "Legacy" rigging vs ...just rigging?
Poser parametric rigging, as opposed to weight-mapped rigging.
Okay, was wondering about the comment. Yes it's the older type of rigging like was done for V4/M4 as opposed to the triax rigging which can also be done in D/S4.x [like was done for Genesis]. Normally works also in D/S3 and sometimes Poser.
Ah!
Something to book mark for when I learn more on that side of the 3d fence!
Is this still available somewhere, have searched DA and Sharecg and all links are dead.
Looks like Patience's tutorials have moved here: http://catherine3678a.deviantart.com/gallery/56099710/Tutorials
Thank you Scavenger, yes I've started a new handle over at DA. No way I was going to try deleting photos one by one, had over 3,000 in there.
Unfortunately we can't edit posts transferred over to the new forum.
If/when I trip over it I can re-up it OR what is more likely to happen, I'll make a new one. Something to do on icy/rainy days ;-)
Why were you needing to delete photos? Policy changes? or just new id-new life kind of thing? (not prying for personal :) curious if non-personal reasons).
A re-up or even better a new one would be great. I downloaded all the one's you have on the new account, though I think the one everyone said I need help with is legacy. What I am doing is not clothes, not at this time anyway. It's a prop (will have obj) that can be used for several things and would like it usable in both Daz and Poser. I don't have Poser so not sure how I am going to accomplish this if Daz can't get it done for me. I have Daz (several versions including the latest), Hex 2.5, download blender but not installed, and uv mapper classic.
I just wanted to .. it's a free account and all these entertaining clouds turned out to be way more than a one time storm show kind of thing. Somehow burdening their system with thousands, maybe more yet to come seemed not entirely a good idea to me. I and others have asked DA repeatedly to enable a multi-choose deletion option. I gather even with the new software it's still not possible or they have reasons of their own to not do so. They will though if one closes the account. So I did it that way.
I have posted a short tutorial of pics in your thread in the Commons.
