The syntax for a scaling pose is the same as for a rotation (normal) pose, the only difference is that the default value for the scaling channels is "1" not "0", e.g. "k 0 1". A pose file made from the Poser 4 interface does not save scaling information. Here is one way to make a scaling pose: 1. Install the free utility Morph Manager 4 (you can find a DL link in the free stuff). 2. Copy the code below and save it to a pose folder as "Blank No Chans.pz2", write protect it. { version { number } figure { } } 3. Load your figure into Poser, scale it how you want. Save it to a pallet with a new name (you will delete this later). 4. Open Morphmanager, load "Blank No Chans.pz2" into BOTH panes, now load the cr2 that you saved into the left pannel. 5. Copy the scaling channels that you want in your scaling pose (only the ones you have changed) from the cr2 in the left pannel, into the pz2 in the right pannel. 6. Save the pz2 in the left pannel with a new name. Test it in Poser. If it works ok, close Motph Manager. Delete the tempory cr2 you used. --- You can combine this scaling pose with any other sort of pose. You can use Mat Pose Edit v2 or some other utility, or do it in a text editor. It was necessary to load a pz2 into the left hand pannel of MM4 in step #4 to force it to display pose channels.
