Re post #21: Nomuse, Let me point out that post #1 is a method to allow you to load a conformer and have its morphs (or other channels) slaved to any figure in the scene. It is not, and does not clame to be a method to allow you to change which figure the conformer is slaved to once it is loaded. With this in mind, I tried your "breaking" method. 1. loaded two instances of a figure with an FBM (same figure as in my zip). 2. Loaded and conformed Leotard (same figure as in my zip) to figure 2. 3. Saved pz3, closed Poser 4, reopened Poser 4, reloaded pz3. All well and good, slaving still working. 5. Deleted figure 2, Saved, closed, and reloaded pz3 again. Results: The breast morph in the character has no effect on the conformer, even with various "nudges" such as moving the camera, or selecting and moving the chest of the conformer. On examining the pz3 we see why. The slaving code has been stripped out of the conformer at or before save time! Conclusion: This did not break anything! the conformer was suposed to be slaved to figure 2, but as figure 2 nolonger exists this is not possible. Poser obligingly stripped out the slaving code, thus removing the possibility of it slaving to the wrong figure. Even if this "breaking" had "worked" I feel it is rather a big ask to expect that the conformer should be slaved to a character that does not exist in the document. I would concidder breaking to be something that caused the conformer nolonger to be slaved to its associated character, when both the conformer and character still exist in the scene, but other figures have been added and/of deleted, and saves/reloads to/from pz3 have taken place. Quote: Regardless of whether you conform or not, the clothing's slave dials will now point at the first figure (since there is no longer a "figure 2, BODY:2" Poser will hunt until it finds a matching "Superhero" dial in "figure 1, BODY:1" If you say this happens with a normal conformer, I have no reason to doubt your word, but it does not seem to mappen with the method described in post #1, inconjunction with your procedure from post #21.
