No! You don't. If you save the morph channels when you go to apply the pose, not only will it change the pose of the figure, but it will also change the morphs to the ones that you saved with the pose.

Save it as a single frame.

I've shown how to save leg poses. But the process is the same for the upper body or just hand poses. Just make sure you are selecting only the body parts that are affected by the pose.
For arms, you would select the collar, shoulder, forearm, the hands and fingers.
For hand poses you would select just the hands and fingers.

Good tut. It may just be my personal preference but I really get annoyed when eye rotations/translations are saved into a pose for redistribution as well. IMO the eyes should be excluded when selecting what to save.
Good tutorial!

I agree very strongly with pjz99, that eye translations should not be included in a pose file. The eyes in a charecter may have been moved to fit a custom head morph, so you don't want a pose to reset them.
I guess a case can be made for including eye rotations in some circumstances. For example, a pose to convey a coy look may have the head slightly bent forwards, and having the eyes looking up may contribute to the overall effect. But Poser only lets you select a subset of actors, not individual channels - so unless you are going to text edit the pz2 - best just exclude the eyes from the pose.
By the way, if you want to exclude the eyes (or any other actor) when applying a pose, you can lock them, a pose has no effect on translations or rotations of locked actors, the actors can be unlocked after the pose has been applied.
Thank you! Very clear and understandable instructions. Just what I was looking for!!!

Thanks for all your hard work and sharing!
Sorry. I don't know how to make .pdf files. However I don't mind if someone who does know, turns this into a .pdf tutorial.

It's easier than you think it might be, if you have a tool that can save mixed text/graphics as PDF format. There's literally dozens of shareware apps that do this.

Many of those are 'convert" type programs that require you to have another program to make the file and then convert. it to a .pdf I don't know Excel or Word. I have "Word Perfect" and all I know how to do in that is type up a letter. Beyond that I don't know how to do anything else in the program.

What a coincidence!
I just bought a pose set and thought "I'd like this upper body with this lower body from a different pose in the set!"
I didn't use your tutorial, but wow, what you wrote it what I did!
That's too cool!

Quote - Thanks Acadia for this tutorial, but does anyone know how to save a hand pose to the Hand Library? I can save a hand pose to the regular pose library, but this method doesn't work for the Hand Library.
I've never tried, but why not copy the saved hand pose from the pose folder into the hand folder, and then change the extension and see if it works?
I know sometimes people have saved MAT pose files in the camera folder and assigned them a camera extension. In order to use those in the pose folder, you just move them to the pose folder and change the extension.

That works, but when I apply the pose to the opposite hand that I originally saved to it gives me the "Some information in this library entry does not pertain to figures of this type." message. It does apply the pose though. So thank you again Acadia.:biggrin:
My idea of rebooting is kicking somebody in the butt twice!

I've been asked to expand on something I said in another thread about saving partial body poses. Here is a picture tutorial.Step 1: Load your figure
Step 2: Inject your character morphs
Step 3: Pose your figure. Tweak the pose as necessary
Step 4. Open your Pose Library to a folder where you want to save the Partial Pose to.
