I'm new at this, but perhaps someone can tell me, how does one save poses so that others can use them?

For a full pose, make sure your library palette is on the Pose tab, and that you have the figure (not hair or clothes selected), then click the plus sign at the bottom of the palette. A prompt will come up asking you to name your new pose.

For a partial pose, follow the steps above, when the prompt comes up asking you to name your pose, click on the "select subset" button and then tick off the boxes that pertain to the parts of the body that you want to save the pose information for.

Keep in mind that saving a pose does not save x-y or z tran information.

Sorry, forgot... the resultant pz2 file does not contain geometry so you can pass them on to others.

Thank you so much, very helpful indeed.

Thanks for the details nickedshield. :=)

You are very welcome.

nice one Kalon!!
 
i didn't know about the "select subset" bit, i hadn't thought about it before, but i'm guessing that's how i'd save some hand poses.

I wonder if i can save some eye positions like that now....(rubs chin pretending to be in deep clever-people-type thought, whilst making some "hmmmm" noises)

That might work (hands), but it would probably be easier to save them as hand files :tt2:

I never tried it, so I'm wondering if you do save the hand information in a pose file, if you get that dialogue that asks whether you want to apply the pose to the left or right hand.

As for the eyes, I think I did have a character that came with a staggered series of eye position from left to right and top to bottom. It was really handy, now that I think of it. There were some in somebodies free stuff also (but they were face poses)

if i add the "...and arms" bit to my first sentance, maybe no one will notice.

i am hoping the eyes might save so that they can be used on any character, not sure if expressions work on all characters, so hoping the eyes might just save the "rotate" info and not the "trans" info, otherwise i might end up with eyes popping out of someone's ears or nose.

(have stopped rubbing my chin in a clever-people-type thought-type way now, but am still making "hmmm" noises, ..i'm pretending to be a bumble-bee now)

Well, naturally... whatever do you mean? Of course I read "arms"!

Now I have done this. It ain't pretty. Pretty interesting, but not pretty-pretty.

Hmmmmmm..... :biggrin:

Vance, If you want to save your eyes, Pose them then add them to your pose file by selecting subset, uncheck the universe that should clear everything, then check the left eye and right eye. Save without morphs. Done:)

Also, you are asked about "morphs", I don't think you want to save those because if you do when the person uses the pose, it will not only apply the pose but also the morphs too.  I think I was told that when you save a pose, to say no to the morphs part.

Quote - @dhama You may be new but I thought I'd pass this on anyway, Ajax's Pose save python script. It might confuse you right now but as you learn more it will become very helpful.

I don't see it.  I don't see it after searching for Ajax's stuff via freebie search either.

From the link above, scroll down to Ajax's Public File Locker. It's listed there.

Ah, thanks.  :)
