I was working on a character and was wondering if there was a way other than editing the .CR2 in an editor (extremely annoying) to set the default morph settings? Also is there a safe way to delete a morph? I've tried it in serveral CR2 editing programs but they all make the file unreadable. Thanks.

load the character and in the hierarchy window do show all parameters, then find the morph and select it and press delete to delete the morph. If you set the default morph settings you want and then save the figure to the library, then the figure will have the same settings when it is loaded back in.

By 'default settings', do you mean the morph's limits? Like the maximum and minimum values you can set it to? If so, you can adjust these in poser by double-clicking the morph's dial. In the dialog box that opens, enter new min/max values. In order for this to work, you either have to switch on 'Use Limits' every time you open poser, or edit the cr2 and change 'force limits 0' to 'force limits 1' for every morph. mac

... then the figure will have the same settings when it is loaded back in.

But those won't actually be the default settings, they'll just be the current settings. The defaults are what you see when you restore or conform a figure.

To set the default morph settings for a figure, use the memorize function (Edit menu --> Memorize), and then save the figure to the library.

Oh, and Morph Manager (in Free Stuff) works extremely well at deleting morphs from a CR2.

I am sorry, I should have said use the memorize function, but I forgot.

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

Fabulous. Thanks.

Thank you very much mac, this is very kind of you. One day I will be able to operate Poser properly and if I keep telling myself this it is bound to come true eventually. Cheers 8) Catlin

mac-"Now reset all the individual morphs to zero (alt-clicking the dials is the fastest way)" Nice tip - thanks. - - - - - BTW, if you make Full Body Morph using a figure that was MEMORIZED with all dials at ZERO, then there is a faster way than touching each dial: AFTER "Create Full Body Morph", but BEFORE "Memorize Figure", "Restore Figure" to get them back to zero! (Found this particularly handy when making a whole human morph: Loaded each part's morph, setting each to "1" as it is loaded. After make FBM, did Restore Figure - didn't have to go back to each part, to zero each morph.)
