I wish to create clothing for a specific character but need to create a blank cr2 so there are no empty morph channels.  How do I go about it?  Is there a program that will do this?

Thanks in advance.

Both the Poser Tool Box and the Poser Pocket Knife have a morph delete tool which will do what you want. The latter includes some extra refinements in how the morphs to be deleted are selected.

 The Poser Toolbox is great!

but the free MorphManager by MrX will do it as well. Last time I looked it was still here in Free Stuff.

I use morph Morph Manager for that as well. The only problem I have with it is that the material zones from the orginal character file are still there. Is there a way to get rid of the material zones?

I use the cr2 editor, you can delete morphs and materials...(Tha author is the same)

You can edit them out in a text editor or the Poser Pocket Knife has a tool to do it for you.

Thanks Everyone ~ much appreciated!

Save the figure to the figures library, name it BlankCR2.
Open BlankCR2 with MorphManager and delete all of the morphs, save it over the old.
There's your BlankCR2.

Thanks, I'll try some of this stuff out.

Get the free "Morph Manager 4" (MM4). There is a trick that allows you to delete all the morphs in one go. First load a pz2, any pz2, into MM4. This will force MM4 to display a "More Options" button. Now load your cr2 into the same MM4 window. Click the "More Options" button, and select "Delete all morph targets from file".

@ HotDog36,

The material zones are not in the cr2, they are in the obj file. To get rid of the material zones you need to edit the obj file.

The material settings, on the other hand, are in the cr2. You can use a cr2 editor such as the free "CR2Builder" to delete the material settings from a cr2. Open the cr2 in CR2Builder. Scroll to the very bottom of the file. Expand the "figure" section. Scroll to the bottom of the figure section. You will see the materials. Click on the first material to select it, hold down the Shift key, and whilst still holding it down, click on the last material. Release the Shift key, and press the Delete key.

P.S. If you delete the material settings, Poser will add any  materials in the obj file back into the cr2 the next you open the cr2,  but it will use default settings and a random colour.
