First!!!!!!

Sure we did Doc, another great tut:D

Funny Doc, how every time you put up a tutorial and I think to myself man I'm crummy at doing that. Pulls out notbook and gets to work on tutorial... thanks Doc, -jay

Another Fab lesson Doc - thanks! ;O)

if i slip in at the back he may not notice i'm late

Funny I just came from the Amapi forum where I complained of a problem about using Amapi 7 for creating Morph targets.However the scaling technique which was also suggested for by Amapi tech support worked in Carrara 2 but for some reason with Amapi 7 it did not work for me...Anyone have any luck with Amapi 7???

Thanks Doc, Very timely for me, as I have just learnt how to create morph targets in Amorphium 3... regards, Andrew

that brings me one question... i once loaded a MT made for a collar, but applied it on the opposit collar.. guess that when i turned the dial it was a total mess.. but this made me wonder one thing: is there a way to "mirror" or invert a prop or a part/group of a figure with poser ? i am not talking about making simetrical morphs on same figure (MT mirror is a nice tool that does it), but for example you makes a morph target for one thing that often goes by two symetrrical inverted parts (collar, legs, arms), how can i use the MT i just made, in anyway, to make a "correct" duplicate for the opposite pat of the pair. Also if i have one prop, and want a mirrored/reversed version of it ? (exemple: hair patch props, such as in animedoll kit...) can it be done with poser and editing ? or do i need a more complex 3d modellign software ? (or any "free" simple one that could make this) ?

This will come in very handy.

Hi Riddokun, Q. "can it be done with poser and editing ?" A. No, not to my knowledge. Sorry. ;=[ Q. " ... or do i need a more complex 3d modellign software ?" A. Yes. cheers, dr geep ;=]

is there any "free" simple/easy low end modellign software you coudl recommend that could do the task ? (anim8tor, metasequoia, wings3d ? anything) ? or if you know about cinema4d maybe ?

Hi Riddokun, Yes, you could use the "mirror" command in "Anim8tor." cheers, dr geep ;=]

thanx a lot... btw about my question on MT applied on teh "wrong"/opposit part of a pair of actor groups ? i know they had same vertices number, but it puzzled m at the time i made trhe mistake.. applied a lcollar mt to a rcollar part of the figure... had a nasty surprise :)

When you make an internal MT is it saved with that particular .pz3 file or that character file (in other words, everytime you use that character you have access to it but no other characters could have access to it)?

The MT is saved with the pz3. It is saved with the character file if you resave the character after making the morph.

hello guys i want to ask if where can i get raydream studio software? is it free? i can't find one online,..

Hmm. I always thought that Morph's target was Mindy;-) -- (Remember THAT series?) Nanu-nanu!! Cheers Diolma

Yup. ;=]

hello dr. Geep i finally find out the problem in my poser,.. in modelling the figure when we make the model it should be well welded and vertices must not overlap each other,.. i just want to share this.. thanks

Hi ACE, I'm glad you found the problem. ;=] Happy rendering. cheers, dr geep ;=]

hello, i have a new question, i make my own model and finished the rigging and its working fine in poser library,..but i tried to use walk designer configuration but how come when i try to hit apply done it suddenly hungs up :( ?

Does it do the same thing with a different figure or just the one you made?

just the one i made,.. but when i put the bones i resize some of it to fit my model,.. then readjust the joints, bending and twisting manually,... do you think this is the reason? 2nd question: are the figures rescaleable?

1. Yes.
   . Try putting your figure in the Pose Room.
   . Turn all IK chains OFF.
   . Use the Joint Parameter (JP) Editor to "zero" the figure.
   . Do a "Drop to Floor"
   . Save your figure in the Figures Library (this creates a .cr2 file)
   . Open the Walk Designer and select the "FIGURE TYPE" and load your figure. (the .cr2 file)

2. Yes.
   . Just change the "scale" parameter.

cheers,
dr geep

hello i want to ask is there a way to export a facial expression on poser? i tried making a face expression like anger or sad and exported it but when i open it in another 3d application it seems that the expression is in default. please help thanks :)

thanks it does work, thanks again! but when i try to re-edit a face and put it back in poser as import Morph target how come it works bad? like the head was flying.. waaaaaaaaaaaa!, i think because of the world transformation, is there any way how to solve this ? thanks.. :)

Do you mean like (post#5) ... as shown on Page 5 (above) in this tut? cheers, dr geep ;=]

yes but i have found a solution, i just export the head and uncheck everything and leave the "As a Morph Target" checked. it worked :)

;=]
