L I think you meant 'layman's terms'. What do you mean copy over? Didn't we do that with step one? No, no. Copy one of the hidden DAZ POSE files (look in :Runtime:Libraries:!DAZ:Victoria3:Body or Head:Deltas and pick one to copy over that has the body part you're adding deltas to) Inside the CR2 you saved you'll find a targetGeom channel under the actor you added the morph to. That targetGeom channel will have a block lebelled deltas { } with a lot of d # # # # lines between the { }. Those d # # # # lines are the deltas. The first number is the number of the vertex, and the other three are xyz offest co-ordinates (thus, 'deltas', as per trig) to move the vertex to put it at '1' on the dialle. You steal those d lines and put them inside the 'deltas' block in the copy of the pose file you made. How would you Edit? In Notepad? I'd edit in a code editor called gvim (free at www.vim.org, and there's a Poser syntax file I wrote if you figure it out), but it has a high learning curve, so you'll probably edit in wordpad (it probably won't fit in notepad, so notepad will open wordpad). Codewarrior or (on a Mac) BBEdit are also fair bets. Copy a Normal? Make readscrip Point? No, copy a normal INJ pose, as in, one of the INJ poses in :Runtime:Libraries:Pose:!V3 * INJ -- nothing to do with normals of facets. If you look in one of those files, you'll find a line (or several lines) that says readScript :Runtime:Libraries:!DAZ:...yaddayaddayadda The path should be changed to point at your file. As in to be the path to your file. In any sort of code, be it C sourcecode, a perlscript, or a Poser file, when one file refers to another file it's usually referred to as 'pointing at'. A readScript directive in POser syntax is an include/require. It's a line that says 'read this file in and consider it like it's contents were right here'. DAZ V3 Injection uses two files (or more for the 'load all morphs' poses and such). One is a 'normal' INJ pose file (the normal is in quotes because things contianign a readScript aren't normal, but it's at least where you expect it to be anyway), the other is a pose file hidden away in a directory that doesn't show inthe libraries inside Poser. The 'normal' one points at the abnormal (strangely located and obfuscated) one. You edit the abnormal one to add the deltas, and you edit the normal one to edit the readScript line. Except you work on copies with the names you want to use, of course.
