*"import Numeric. Ok, did that, now as making the nodes, poser locks up and crashes :(

Guess fate is telling me I'm not supposed to use the script. Hehe. :D"

*Oh, dang.  I completely forgot about P7 and Numeric.  I'll add that.  What are you doing when it crashes?  How does it crash?  Creating the boxes may take several minutes, depending on the size of your selection.  If I try to do anything with Poser or the script GUI during the box creation/deletion loops on my system, Poser gives all the indications of having frozen up - but waiting a few minutes for the loop to finish running usually reveals that everything was fine and I was merely impatient.  :-P  Reducing the size of your vertex selection may help.  Anything you can tell me about the symptoms of your probelm may help me correct it....

*"For example an Elven face morph which includes altering the ears shape,. if it was possible to 'lock' the position of the ear vertices with a modified version of your script, could produce  an attractive human face."

*Ockham has a couple of script which can remove deltas from a morph based on group assignment, and TDMT has a similar feature which removes deltas using the same bounding box and materials selection/screening methods used in this script.  I assume that sort of functionality is what you want.  In this case, vertices are selected when a box is created for them and positioned based on the boxes' positions.  "Locking" a vert in the context of this script involves either screening it out of the box creation process or not moving the box once it exists.

Here's the link to the latest version of TDMT, which has morph trimming and smoothing....

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
