Quote - Keep working with those magnets.. the more practice you get with them the easier they are to use.  They scared the snot out of me when I first started using poser and I rarely if ever used them, now I use them all the time.  They are an incredibly powerful tool and once you get some practice with them you can very quickly and easily produce a wide variety of effects which are very easy to turn into morph targets.

Definitely! In fact, I never used magnets at all until I found Mapps' s Aiko 3 Head Morph Maker (found in the free stuff section of Renderosity). I only had Aiko LE at the time, and I really wanted to give her face a more custom look, and his kit really helped. It also made me brave enough to create an additional magnet set that allows for even more face-shaping morph targets. I liked the results so much that I ended up transferring my custom morphs from Aiko LE to Aiko Complete when I finally got the full version. My avatar is the result of using both the custom morphs I created as well as the morphs from Aiko Complete. (I'm still toying with the idea of uploading my additional set of magnets as an add-on to Mapps's set, as I got a lot of use out of it. I'm also wondering if I should also upload my custom morph set, though I'm not quite sure how to do that.)

I just seem to have some of issues when I use the magnets with clothing. Sometimes, I get some very surprising results. That's part of why I'm still considering buying Netherworks Studios's Clothing MorphKits for Aiko and Hiro. (http://netherworks-studios.com/shoppe/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20_21&products_id=67)They're clothing magnet sets, and I think I can learn a lot from them.

I also found, by accident, how to kind of use the magnets to adjust, directly, the shin and thighs for the new leg length when I use the StretchMorphs dial. Unfortunatlely, while it looks just fine before I conform the stockings, the feet get all deformed, again, after I've conformed them Aiko. I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe I'll pose a pic of that weirdness. Who knows, someone might have an answer to that!

Anyhow, I'm off to play with MorphMaster, a bit!
