Yes, you can use 'MAT' files from the Pose folder. As les said, Pose files don't hold scale info, but you can add that info and use them from the Pose library. They're called SET files and I use them for all sorts of things, from positioning to changing joint parameters. Here's a simple 'SET' file for scale which works in both the Pose folder and Cameras. { version { number 4.01 } actor BODY:1 { channels { scaleY yScale { keys { k 0 1.1 } } } } actor hip:1 { channels { scale scale { keys { k 0 1.5 } } } } } --------------------- Copy the above and save it with the extension .pz2 (for Poses) or .cm2 (for Cameras). Apply it to any figure (with a hip) and it will scale the BODY to Yscale 110% and the hip to Scale 150% (main scale dial). This is just for illustration purposes. You can make your own like this. 1. Make the version section. { version { number 4.01 } 2. Add a BODY section (if required) actor BODY:1 { channels { scaleY yScale { keys { k 0 1.1 } } } } 3. Add the actors you need. actor hip:1 { channels { scale scale { keys { k 0 1.5 } } } } 4. Add the closing brace. } --------------------------------- Note that for each actor you add, it's name must correspond exactly with the actor in the figure. To make the other scale channels, these are the names you use scale scale (= main scale dial) scaleY yscale (= Yscale dial) scaleX xscale (= Xscale dial) scaleZ zscale (= Zscale dial) As les pointed out, a value of 1 = 100%. A value of 1.1 would be 110%, 2 = 200% and 1.25 = 125%. For 212% your Key line would read 'k 0 2.12' Any problems, just shout. mac
