THere is a PDF file in the original thread that Wenke made.  But for some reason I can't get it to upload into this thread. I keep getting that the file does not have a valid file extention. I tried .pdf, .zip, and .txt  with no luck. So if you want it, click on the link above and scroll down the thread until you get to Wenke's post.

 

I've been asked to expand on something I said in another thread about saving partial body poses.  Here is a picture tutorial.

Step 1:  Load your figure

Step 2: Inject your character morphs

Step 3:  Pose your figure. Tweak the pose as necessary

Step 4.  Open your Pose Library to a folder where you want to save the Partial Pose to.

Click the plus sign at the bottom of the pose library

A new window opens up

Type in a name and pick "Select Subset"

Another window pops up. Here you pick the parts of the body you want to include in your partial pose

The best thing to do when saving a partial pose is to uncheck everything and then go about selecting the few parts that you want. To uncheck everything, click "Universe"

Select the parts of the body you want in your partial pose.  I want to save the leg pose, so I have picked "Hip" and all body parts below.

 

You have already given a name to the pose, so just click "OK"

 

A new window opens asking you if you want to save the morph channels. 

No! You don't. If you save the morph channels when you go to apply the pose, not only will it change the pose of the figure, but it will also change the morphs to the ones that you saved with the pose.

 

Another window opens asking you about frames.

Save it as a single frame.

 

Finally, you're done.  The next step is your pose being saved to your Pose Library.

 

I've shown how to save leg poses. But the process is the same for the upper body or just hand poses.  Just make sure you are selecting only the body parts that are affected by the pose.

For arms, you would select the collar, shoulder, forearm, the hands and fingers.

For hand poses you would select  just the hands and fingers.

 

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
