pc i tried it but i cant find a tut when i try to load the geom or obj files it wont let me sayinthat it isnt sym or exceeds lines

1- You need a base for each group 2- You can not pull the X=0 verts out of line. This makes using it for magnet morphs tricky. The base groups are a single group if it is a central group = chest, neck, abdomen the pair if the group comes as a left and right pair. And only the group - no complexes rCollar&lCollar = yes rCollar&chest&lCollar = no The morph group must be the same complex as the base. It does not like Mike's chest or collars very much. It will swap, but not mirror. not a problem with collars, potential problem with chest

With LW 6 you can put symmetry to on

Bof is right and you can do full body morphs.I do it this way using the PPP and LightWave. Here is what I do: 1) I import from the Poser geom files the body obj I want to morph into Poser. 2) using the grouping tool I spawn props which gives me a prop for each body part. 3) I delete the original object and then export all the body parts as one mesh in LightWave format. Now I have a base figure and do not have to repeat steps 1 through 3 for that body type ever again. These three steps take less than two minutes. 4) I import into LightWave. 5) In LightWave I now have an object with all the material groups normally defined in Poser and a material for each body part. I can now pic a single body part to work on or multiple parts at the same time. 6) In Lightwave I set the mode to symmetry. Now for example I can pick the right forearm and anything I do to it also occurs on the left forearm I do my reshaping with a multitude of tools. I can also just pick a few points or polys on one side of the body and the change happens on the other side even with more than one body parts polys or points selected. 7) I pick the body parts I have morphed one by one from the Statistics window in LightWave and export them in object format. Now I have morphs that I just apply to each body part in Poser. Hope this helps. Ron

Thank you very much ron 2 qustions do you import from the obj sile before (step one or just loadd from the character library? also do you have to select one body part at a time with the grouping tool? thanks pal

Trav I know what the problem is and it is my fault. I did not tell you about these steps. Did these window shots for you. Seems you have it all right but the last part. Also when you get ready to export make sure you are no longer in symmetry mode. If you are in symmetry mode two opposing sides will be grouped. Follow these steps: 1)Seems you have fig1 and fig2 down. 2)Once you have selected your body part then click the + sign.Fig3 Now your body part should be highlighted. 3)then click at the bottom "copy." fig5 4)then go to a new layer and click paste. Your body part should now show up in the new layer. Fig4 and Fig5. 5) now export as obj. fig6 6) now click "cut" fig5 This will delete the body part in your second layer. 7) go back to your first layer where the full body is and repeat the process for each morph part. 8) add your morphed parts in Poser as normal. Let me know if this works for you. Ron
