catlin, To save any settings made with morphs, you can do several things. 1. Save to library - This is the most obvious way. 2. Make a Full Body Morph - An FBM is a single morph dial which resides in the BODY parameter dials. You make one by opening your character and setting all the morphs the way you want them. Go to Menu> Figure> Create Full Body Morph and, in the dialog box that opens, give your morph a name. A new dial will appear in the figure's BODY. Now reset all the individual morphs to zero (alt-clicking the dials is the fastest way), then set the FBM to 1.00. It will look exactly like all the other morphs combined. The disadvantages of FBMs are that you can't tweak individual settings once it's made, and in poser 4, you get crosstalk - ie. if you have 2 figures in a scene with the same FBM, they both lock at the same morph value. 3. Memorize - I forgot to mention this too. The memorize command (in the Edit menu) can be used to memorize figures, single elements, or lights. What it does is set new DEFAULT values for all dials. The default value is what you get when you use the Restore command, or when you alt-click a dial. It's normally 0.00 or 100%, but if you use memorize, whatever values have been set on all dials will become the new defaults, and the figure will be saved in this state. Suppose you scale a figure's legs to Yscale 110%. If you use memorize before saving, 110% will become the new default. If you change the Yscale to 150%, then alt-click the Yscale dial, it will return to it's new, memorized default of 110% The above also applies to morph values. mac
