Hi Vilian,I was concerned surprised to hear that the NULL is not working for you. I thought that perhaps there was some defect in my method, or in my understanding of Null Figures. So I decided to run a test.
I constructed a figure out of primitives "Z-Pet.cr2", using the same actor names and hierachy as your NULL in post #14. I made a morph in each actor and prop, then made an FBM in Poser. I then edited the cr2 and slaved all the morphs to another master dial in the hip named FBM2.
Loaded TEST_NULL > Z-Pet > TEST_NULL > Z-Pet > TEST_NULL > Z-Pet > TEST_NULL > Z-Pet. Everything worked fine, no crosstalk in the actors or props.
So I'm wondering why the null seems to work for me in P4, but not for you in PP. Is it the way you are using it? I don't think so, I sounds like you are using it correctly. You are selecting the BODY of the Nnull after loading it aren't you?
Is it something about the Anime Pet? But I can't see that either, as the actor names and hierachy are the same in the Anime Pet and the Z-Pet I made to test the null, I can't think what else would make a diffrence.
I'm linking a zip file with the "Z-Pet.cr2" (I didn't bother making it properly posable, as I only wanted to check for crosstalk), and a slightly modified version of the null from post #15 "TEST-NULL-2.cr2", you should not need to select the BODY when useing this null, as it should be selected automaticly when the null is loaded. If you could test the combination of the "Z-Pet.cr2" and the "TEST-NULL-2.cr2" and report back, it would rule out some possibilities and perhaps help us in tracking down the problem. There are two master dials in the character "FBM" in the body, and "FBM2" in the hip, both control the same set of morphs.
Can you give any more details on the crosstalk you are getting with the Anime Pet, is this master dials in the BODY controling morphs in the actors and props, or something else?
P.S. It turned out that it was not necessary to use multiple instances of the props in the null, one instance works ok.
P.P.S. This is bugging me, I want to know why it's not working!
