Quote - OK, but in that case I should fill out one detail I neglected to mention. The BODY actor is a special case, you need valueParm not targetGeom channels in the BODY, so you will need a different readScript line calling a different pz2 for the BODY. A simple "Search & Replace", then rename the file, will convert the "Antonia_PBMCC_Chnnls.pz2" into a "Antonia_PBMCC_FBM_Chnnls.pz2".
Good point! I'd probably have forgotten that. Additional question: what's the lowest Poser version that can do a "readScript"?
Quote - P.S. Don't know if I mentioned this in my IM. Best to use "_Chnnls" as the last part of the name, it seems that this keeps the file compliant with the DAZ updater, it seems that it will only work with certain endings. the ones I know of are "_Chnnls" and "_Grps" (for groups).
Actually, I'm not sure if we need to, or should, be compliant with the DAZ updater. So I'll just take that as a bit of extra info for now. :laugh:
Quote - As to it being "weird to use the twist channel for backward and forward" the dial name can be anything you like (though you might have to tweak some JCM code to match). Any of the rotate channels could have the dial name "Twist", and the order of the dials can be set in the 'groups' so no need for the end user to be confused.
No, the weird thing is that the twist channel uses different falloff settings, namely a set of bars instead of angles. That shouldn't matter too much in this case, though, since one needs those darn in/out spheres, anyway.
