Thanks to Ajax's very clever program I have made a custom figure work far more efficently than if I was just left to what Poser it self overs- it has really extended the capabilities of Poser! I have slaved morphs to master dials elimenating the need to set multiple morphs. I have slaved the Y axis for my beard so it can lenghten with out making morphs. I have made an easy pose of the beard so it can conform to virtually any shape I want in a matter of seconds I am also very appreaciative of Gareee showing me how to use the program and pass on some really good modelling tips!

I agree, it is indespensible and not recognised enough. It does so much, from adding easypose, right down to hiding dials. A brilliant utility. Oh, and for those who don't know it's EasyPose Underground and on sale in the store here!

Irish/Philebus/whoever, Can you give me some practical examples of the functionalities that you mention above ? e.g. for "slaved morphs to master dials" etc. ? I got the demo version some time ago, but to be honest a lot of it went over the top of my head. I'd like to know, at a practical layman's level, what sort of things this can do that Poser itself cannot do by itself. thanks, Andrew

For instance I made a custom character which had a morph for opening each eye wide, I had a morph for each eye to pop out from the body, I had a spring behind each eye that had to be morphed to come out and stretch to the eye balls. Thats a number of morphs to handle and make sure that when for example the eyes were only half way out, that the springs had to be exactly half way etc. EPU allowed me to make one master dial in the head to control all those morphs to work precisely at together. I made a long beard made up of 20 groups, EPU allowed me to make in one minute what they call "easy Pose" so that you can grab any part of the beard and drag it and it will curve around like a piece of rope to conform to any organic "smooth" shape- imagine if you only had poser you would have to bend, twist, and side side each body part 3 times for each body part over 20 parts thats 60 dial settings (and thats only if you super human and getit exactly right first time, EPU allowed me to slave all the Y axis of each group so I could double the length )or more)of the beard without using morph targets in a couple of minutes, these lenthend body parts were once again slaved to one master dial so in 2 seconds you morph the beard instead of setting 20 morphs EPU allowed me to slave the X axis(up-down) of the eyes to one maste dial so I could rotate both eyes at once- I also did the Y axis (side_side) And EPU can do alot more than this I am only just learning. Ajax needs to put in some simple tutorials with the CR2's and obj's so you can easy see the power of it. I would have learnt alot faster if he had- I've only got half a brain when if comes to technical stuff

It's here! In the marketplace, search by merchant for Ajax and you'll find it.
