I am hoping that by showing you the overview and the rules, you can figure out the details. I think a lot of users fool themselves into thinking it has to be more difficult to do than it really is. On thing though: Poser does not forgive mistakes with { } pairs. You leave one of a pair out, the whole file usually fails. The message is usually something about not being a valid poser file - I forget the extact wording - or nothing happens. This sort of mistake is a bitch to fix. Most of us usually scrap the file and start over - that is faster. All this follows a pattern. Look at existing files and see how they work. One other part - MM4 is usually faster for copying deltas (morphs) into pose file templates. It is also an easy way to generate an empty template It has batch functions if the files are *.pz2 - or if you are using a *.cr2 as a source, if the file slot has been 'primed' by opening a *.pz2 first and immediately overwriting it with a *.cr2. Get a good text editor - EditPad Lite is a good one. NotePad is too limited and WordPad and especially MSWord are treacherous in adding formating - which will poison a file.
