Subject: Can I ask about Morph Manager?

Hi.
I need your advice.
I made morph target about head by zbrush.
It's base is P4 nude woman.

And I used Morph Manager.
I copyed my head morph to another P4 Nude woman.
Copy is successful.
But morph does not applied in poser.

My final purpose is next.
I want to make model with same head.
And I will combine different body (Aiko, V3, V4, ...)
I want apply same morph head by uesing Morph Manager,
But, It does not applied.

I think you have morph manager. (http://www.morphography.uk.vu/dlutility.html)
And you can download my model (test-1) by below link.
http://www.bokgi.net/test/Runtime.zip
And I used Poser Pro.

Can you help me?

Morph targets must have the same number of vertices as the base object.
If you used the subdivide tools of ZBrush, the number of vertices will change, and it won't work as a morph target.

Try the following steps:

  • export the morphed head from ZBrush as Wavefront .OBJ file;
  • start Poser;
  • load P4 Nude Woman;
  • select the head;
  • choose Object->Load Morph Target from the Poser menu;
  • pick the Wavefront .OBJ file you exported;

If the Wavefront .OBJ files has the wrong number of vertices, Poser will warn you.

  • Leave the checkbox "Reorder vertices" unchecked
  • Give the morph target a good name

Now P4 Nude Woman should have a new head morph target. Try it at value 1.0 - it should look like the head in ZBrush.
Also try it at value 0.5 - if the vertex order has been messed up, the head will look very strange. In that case, you must delete the morph target and load it again, this time with "Reorder vertices" checked. Sometimes it helps, but it's no guarantee.

There is no need for MorphManager.

Dear svdl.
First , thanks your interest about my problem.
Did you download my model?
It is working well by head morph.
Making morph is not problem.
Just, Morph Manager is problem in my case.
(I saw your work. I'm surprising. You are great!)

I think I found the problem.

Your Poser is probably set to use external binary morph targets. So it creates .pmd files, and MorphManager cannot use those.

Here is how you can fix that:

  • go to Edit->General Preferences;
  • click the rightmost tab, Misc.
  • uncheck "Use external binary morph targets"
  • and save the preferences.

Poser will still load figures with external binary morph targets correctly, but it will no longer save morph targets as external files. Instead, morph targets are saved in the .CR2 file.

Now load your morphed P4 Nude Woman from the Poser Library.
And immediately save the figure back to the figure library.

Now the morph data will be contained within the .CR2 file, and now MorphManager can work with the morph.

And thanks for the compliments; glad you like my work!

Wow!!!!
I'm so happy.
Now I can make model!
I´d like to express my heartfelt thanks to you!
I offer you my heartfelt thanks for your favor.
