Quote - The "CTRL" dials are named differently in each of Antonia's hands. Dropping the "L" and "R" from theri names would probably take care of point #1 above, as a hd2 file automatically saves data for a targetGeom channel without the need for user intervention. I would recommend that you make this change.
lesbentley: I tried that. What happens now is that if I apply a left hand .hd2 file to the right hand, the CTRL dial is applied on top of the values in the finger joints, so in effect I get double the grasp. This happens consistently in Poser8 and Poser6.
If I use the current channel names, Poser complains when I apply a left hand .hd2 file to the right hand, but sets the finger bends correctly anyway, and in effect I get the pose that I wanted. Again, this happens the same way in P6 and P8. So now I'm a bit confused, because you reported that applying a .hd2 file to the other hand wouldn't work.
Maybe a solution would be to move the hand controls into the body so that Poser would save only the resulting finger settings but not the control values themselves? I'll give that a try.
