Hey guys i have a question... I have seen figured that load with morphs already set to 1.000 instead of 0.000.. how do you do this?!?!?!?!?

never mind ... i dug thru the cr2 and found the initvalue setting and figured it out.

Mordikar, the 'initValue' (contrary to what the name sugests) is NOT the value that the channel/dial will have when the character is first loaded. It is the value that the channel will revert to when you use Restore > Element, or Restore > Figure is used from the edit menu.

The value that the channel will have when you load the cr2 is the second number in the 'k' line, the number in red below:

The first number in the 'k' line is the frame number, used in animations.

The simple way to have a character load with the morphs set to 1.000 is to set the dials to 1.000, then resave the character back to the pallet. But be aware that any morphs (deltas to be more precise) you have injected into the character (if your using charactrers such as V3) will also be saved, so its better to set the dials, then save, before you inject anything.

You may also like to research Full Body Morphs (FBM) which can also be usefull in this type of situation. Message edited on: 04/18/2005 15:28

that's really odd. cause when i tried setting the dials and saving back it wouldn't save all the dials. just the last one i set. and now that i set the morphs to initvalue of 1 it loads with all the morphs at the right values ... very strange indeed.

ok never mind .. all the k numbers are set the way you show them too. k 0 1 . So i guess all is well...
