hi walter,

Well, it all seems to be working out OK. I sometimes find it helps to rethink a project several times before I actually nail it down. The obj size is pretty low, so no problems there either.

There's no big secret to SET files. They're just Pose files which don't change the materials. I call them SETs because they 'set' values. Some people call them 'placement' files or other odd names. They're very easy to construct. Here's one which switches 2 roller-blind body parts ON and sets their morph value to 1.00

{
        version
        {
                number 4.01
        }
        actor roller_blindL:1
        {
                on
                channels
                {
                        targetGeom raise blind
                        {
                                keys
                                {
                                        k 0  1
                                }
                        }
                }
        }
        actor roller_blindR:1
        {
                on
                channels
                {
                        targetGeom raise blind
                        {
                                keys
                                {
                                        k 0  1
                                }
                        }
                }

To switch a body part OFF, just name the body part and change the on line to off. Like so

{
        version
        {
                number 4.01
        }
        actor roller_blindL:1
        {
                off
        }
        actor roller_blindR:1
        {
                off
        }
}

Here's one which repositions a window's joint parameters so it can open outwards. It also sets the correct rotation values and limits.

{
        version
        {
                number 4.01
        }
        actor 1window:1
        {
                channels
                {
                        rotateY yrot
                        {
                                min 0
                                max 150
                                keys
                                {
                                        k 0  0
                                }
                        }
                }
                origin -0.582 0.54 0.014
        }
}

This one moves a BODY and switches one body part ON and another OFF.

{
        version
        {
                number 4.01
        }
        actor BODY:1
        {
                channels
                {
                        translateX xtran
                        {
                                keys
                                {
                                        k 0  -1.395
                                }
                        }
                }
        }
        actor fill_1:1
        {
                on
        }
        actor fill_2:1
        {
                off
        {
        }
}

These are just a few examples, but as you can see, pretty much anything that's in a cr2 can be put into a SET file and used for easy configuration of figures. You can also combine SETs and MATs so one file will configure and texture all at once. One thing that's useful is to always use BODY:1 in a SET file (like the one above). It doesn't matter how many figures you have open in poser, whichever one you select, a BODY:1 SET will always work. If you have preset positions you want to move figures to, you can make one SET file for all the figures, instead of several different ones which name different body parts.

If you have any questions, just yell.
