Ooh!  Excellent!  This is perfect, Les!  Thank you!  :woot:  This is exactly the kind of information that should help in trying to set up any kind of automatic chain-building feature.

It sounds like you may want the dual joint center ERC setup that was developed by VK several years ago.  Complicated stuff, but it could put the joint in two places at once, IIRC.

Maybe I should read those threads again.  Didn't understand a bit of them, at the time.  :lol:  I might grasp at least some of it, now.  :unsure:

If a template chain .cr2 could be developed, using the VTK methods, a Python script could hypothetically apply that without too much difficulty.  Assuming the programmer can figure out what's happening.  :lol:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
