I finally got around to testing the 2d JCM system in Poser 8, 7 and 5. The test wasn’t ideal in that the test figure was weight mapped. Since weight maps were added in version 9/Pro, older version of Poser do not show the correct mesh deformations; However, it is still possible to check dials to see if they are activating the morphs in the proper manner. Your script seems to work in Poser 8. In Poser 7, I can see the dials, but the mesh explodes upon loading. At first I thought there was a display issue because the screen went white, but I was able to back out the camera until it became clear that the white was the result of the exploded mesh. In Poser 5, there was a similar issue, except that Poser froze and eventually crashed to desktop.

I didn’t have the patience to track down the cause of the explosion, but I suspect it has something to do with JCMs not being constrained to low increments. I don’t know if this is because the script isn’t supported or because of the other multiplied JCM data that I had coded manually with valueOpTimes controlling things. It could be something else entirely.

As for the script in Poser Pro 2012, it is working really well. I think the results in setting up this figure are better than anything I’ve managed to do without the script. My efforts have only been hampered by the limits of my mesh. Thanks for bringing this script into the world. I hope that others will get a chance to work with it.
