could be..Pakleds are not smart..;) now you've peaked my curiosity..
I save them as 'geeptut_momagnetsx' - where x is the number. Of course, I think I started saving them at work, and started again at home..sigh..now I'll just have to check to make sure.

PS-Mo' magnets, because I have the old Geep tut for magnets..done those many years ago..;)

Ok, I stuck 6 in one Directory, and 17 in another..so we're all 'on the same page'..and 1,327 in the overal Geep directory..;) but that's another story..;)

I save mine to a folder named Geep.  So far I've got Geep.01.gig to Geep.23.gif.   I've got a slew of other Geep tutorials downloaded and saved as pdf files in even anoter Geep folder, which is a subfoldre of my 'Poser Tutorials' folder.  When I finish downloading all the images, I'll assemble them into a new pdf file, which I'll save in my regular Geep folder in my Poser Tutorials library, and then delete my tempory Geep download folder.  It may sound complicated to some, but living in the ratehr convoluted Levant, it makes perfect sense to me.
I'm not quite sure yet how to treat Fazzel's addition information, maybe add it as an appendix.
Yours truly,
David P. Hoadley

Note - The same thing can be accomplished by changing xRotate for the Base to 180 degrees which turns the magnet upside down and then increase yTran of the Magnet.  That will, also, pull the vertices inside the Zone in a downward direction as shown.

If you want all my tuts, why not just get the CD? (while supplies last)

But Dr Geeeeeeeep!  It's moer fun doing it THIS way!
;-Q

I thought one only used the "moer" to cut the grass, no?

;=]

Oops! Typo!  Blast, when will Renderosity, with all theitr so-called improvements, add a spellchecker.

PS: A "moer" is also what my wife wishes I'd occassionally use on my beard.

Spellchecker?  Heck, I need a "document" checker.

;=]

Apparently, I can't spell 'THEIR' correctly either.  As someone suggested in another thread, maybe I DO need to get my glasses checked.

BTW ...
THIS IS PAGE # 24 !
cheers,
dr geep
;=]

Actually, it's not officially part of this tut which is why it's smaller and does NOT have a Page #.

'k? ........... ;=]

What to do? ... Hmmm ... that is up to you.

My suggestion would be to delete it and if you want that information to be included, let me know and I will incorporate it later on in this tut. .............. (if you remind me) ;=]

"if you want that information to be included, let me know and I will incorporate it later on in this tut."
I think it should be included, because it is highly pertinent to the subject at hand.  But this is just my humbly biased opinion. ;-)

This is cool... idiot resistant instructions (there is no such thing as idiot proof). Cant wait for the next!! Thanks Doc

"Idiot resistant" ............. hahahahahaha ........... You haven't met NaySayGuy yet, have you?! :blink:

Well, have you?

;=]

Nope...haven't met NaySayGuy yet! Does he say the same?

Also, I hope you CD has the same style teaching as what your showing us here.... I just ordered it and cant wait to see!

Hi Scot,

Thanks for your order ... Your CD will be shipped out tomorrow.

If you go to Dr Geep Studios website and click on the Adventures banner ... you can meet da NaySayGuy in person ... sort of.  (insert evil grin here)

Volume 1 - Issue #2 is devoted to da NaySayGuy.

cheers,
dr geep
;=]

"Idiot resistant" :-)) I like that phrase!

BTW, Naysayguy (NSG for short), is the exception that proves any rule.
(Another aside - did you know that in the phrase "the exception that proves the rule", the word "proves" in it is used in the sense of "to test", not in its more usually accepted modern sense of "to show that it is so"?)

Anyway, NSG can "prove" anything. And usually gets things right only when he makes two contradicting wrongs... (thus "proving" the rule that "2 wrongs don't make a right") :-)) - and proving it wrong...

Cheers,
Diolma

(Long bookmark)

"Proving Ground' is a phrase that still harks back to the original meaning of the word Prove.  Somewhat halfway between the old meaning 'to test', and the newer meaning 'to confirm', is the folk saying: 'The Proof of the Pudding is in the Eating!'  This references the fact that the quality of the pudding is both tested and confirmed by being eaten.

well, considering you live in a country that uses a different alphabet, and reads right to left, I'd say it's not that big a problem..;)  I just tell people that I'm not dyslexic, but my fingers are..;)

Yup..got many of the old PDF's from Ebonshire.whateveritisiatthemoment..;) it's all good..;) Actually, since I back up all the geeptuts to CD, I in effect already have a Dr. Geep CD..;) several, in fact..;)

These tuts are excellent Dr Geep.
They really help me (Poser novice here) get over the intimidating and overwelming amount of tools. Especially when I'm used to using an entirely different 3D application.

I am still quite new to Poser so forgive me if this is a silly question but can you use magnets to create morphs for characters even if you don't have the head and body morph packages? And also though I am sure you will get to this in the tutorial, how do you do that? Thanks, and sorry about the dumb quesion.

yep this one explains it all!

Dear Dr. Geep;
MY tally is 29 images now; is that correct?  Just checking.
Yours truly,

PS: My fingers MUST be dyslectic, they keep writing THE as TEH, and my last name as hoadley in stead of Hoadley
David P. hoadley

Yes.

Attracted to this subject!!

Repulsed by my own ignorance!

check the upper left corner of the pic, and in teeny tiny letters, it gives the 'slide number'..;)

this is kewl... I was just practicing with this...

Dr Geep... one thing, if I do this group selection on one group of selected polys on one shoulder...

then I do the same on the other shoulder....

Can I get one magnet to effect them (both of the selected poly groups on opposite shoulders) at the same time?

Hi Magnatude,

No, not with a magnet ... because a magnet is "attached" to a single object (prop or body part) therefore, two magnets would be required to affect 2 different body parts, i.e., right & left shoulders.

We will be looking at making morphs from magnets and then combining multiple morphs into a Full Body Morph (FBM) so that several body parts can be modified at the same time using a single parameter dial.

 If I understand what you are trying to do, the FBM is probably your answer.

Good question ...  Stay tuned ... ;=]

cheers,
dr geep
;=]

P.S. Can you describe what you are trying to do?  I will try to incorporate it into this tut if I am able.

Ah... I was grouping a strip off of both shoulders of a jacket and attepting to use one magnet to extrude them outwards (like armor plates) and creating a morph out of that.

Hmmm ... is the jacket a figure or a poseable prop?

cheers,

Yes it is. 

Ok, then stay tuned to the next tut on Morphs and see if it doesn't answer your question.

Thank you Dr Geep, those darn magnets have had me confused since I got Poser. 8-)

@ Magnatude,

Have you seen the current tut on Morphs? :blink:

Does it answer your question? :unsure:
