OK this is another tricky one, you guys amazed my last time!

This may not be possible in poser but it works in DS.

I’ve created a  Morph for the Left thigh and I want to drive it with the side-side or Zrot rotation of the figure it’s conformed to using it’s Left Thigh, Zrot. I actually used easypose to do it but had no luck here’s the code below.


targetGeom L-Thigh-Side-Side

                                                {

                                                name L-Thigh-Side-Side

                                                initValue 0

                                                hidden 0

                                                forceLimits 1

                                                min -100000

                                                max 100000

                                                trackingScale 0.02

                                                keys

                                                                {

                                                                static  0

                                                                k  0  0

                                                                }

                                                interpStyleLocked 0

                                                valueOpDeltaAdd

                                                                conformingTarget

                                                                lThigh:1

                                                                zrot

                                                deltaAddDelta -14.000000

                                                valueOpDeltaAdd

                                                                Figure 1

                                                                BODY:1

                                                                L-Thigh-Side-Side

                                                deltaAddDelta 1.000000

                                                indexes 501

                                                numbDeltas 4363

                                                deltas


I know I will have to set

                forceLimits 1

                                                min 0

                                                max 1

But not sure what

conformingTarget

is  ?

conformingTarget BODY:4

was in the “secret of figure creation with poser 5” book but could find what the options were. I tried this but no good. Any ideas or point me to a tutorial for it.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried using "Dependant Parameters"?

Semiedieu gives a short tutorial here.

That's quite a good tutorial Thanks I picked something up there, but this has to work in poser 7 as it's being tested by DAZ. I'm trying to do what they have with their bodysuit.

You can set up a conforming figure to "super-conform" (slave ERC to the conforming parent) by stripping the figure numbers from the ERC listings in the conformer .cr2, then saving it to the library.

Quote - valueOpDeltaAdd

Figure

BODY
L-Thigh-Side-Side

deltaAddDelta 1.000000

When loaded into the scene, the conformer ERC will automatically point toward whichever figure is currently selected.  So select the conforming parent figure, load the conformer, then conform it.  The ERC should super-conform.

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.

Dependent parameters do work in Poser 7.
They have been available since then, but you had to do them by hand using a text editor.

Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.

Some of the items done with dependant paraneters in P8 screw up badly in Poser 7 sr2.  I converted a couple of freestuff items to work in Poser 5,6,7.

Delete all this:

            valueOpDeltaAdd
                conformingTarget
                lThigh:1
                zrot
            deltaAddDelta -14.000000
                valueOpDeltaAdd
                Figure 1
                BODY:1
                L-Thigh-Side-Side
            deltaAddDelta 1.000000

Replace it with this:

            valueOpDeltaAdd
                Figure
                lThigh
                zrot
            deltaAddDelta -14.000000

Before you load the conformer, make sure some part of the character figure is selected.

Yes I got it in the end very similar but just one change to your code where Figure is you put the actual name of the figure and it works great.  Thanks for the Tip !!!
