Poser Technical F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 13 12:50 am)
Welcome to the Poser Technical Forum.
Where computer nerds can Pull out their slide rules and not get laughed at. Pocket protectors are not required. ;-)
This is the place you come to ask questions and share new ideas about using the internal file structure of Poser to push the program past it's normal limits.

Subject: Where are chain breaks stored in the CR2 file?
I think that now I can answer my own question. :) Chain Breaks are controlled by JointMult in the twist/joint channels. You will find that comparing a non-broken actor against a chain-broken actor shows that JointMult is removed in at least one JP channel. Also, as a consequence one would imagine, so are any doBulge and related statements.

Obviously jointMult is part of it since it and doBulge DO disappear with dynamicsLock 1. I didn't look quite hard enough, so thanks for the help! :) Poser files are definitely subtle and ungangly redundant monstrosities.

There is a free file comparison utility called ExamDiff. It's very handy for figuring out what things in the Poser interface do at script level. For example save a pz3 (scene) with Chain Break off, then turn Chain Break on for one actor and save another pz3. Compair them in ExamDiff to see what changes Poser made to the code.

I can't find anywhere where chain breaks are enumerated within the CR2 file. Of course, it's easy to miss subtle hints (Poser's favorite way) on 1MB and larger files. :) Will keep looking while awaiting a response. Thanks, Kuroyume
