I'm fighting for disk space so haven't tried the latest version, but does DS have a Morph Brush yet?

Last one I downloaded doesn't seem to have one, but basically, I'm wanting to make a morph while the figure is Posed, and sadly Poser's Mirror doesn't work properly.  I was just wondering if I coluld bring in an unrigged figure .obj (but with zones intact), sculpt on it with some sort of brush in DS, and then Mirror the morph to the other side so that I could export it and bring it back into Poser as a morph.

There's not a morph brush available in DS, though it sounds more like you need a modeling tool that handles symmetry.

EDIT: You have zbrush so shouldn't the goZ do what you need?

GoZ would be perfect but I only have PP2012 and P10 and was wanting to work on Roxie.  I have GoZ in PP2012, but Roxie won't bend properly in it due to the new system she uses.  I can work on her unposed using Goz in PP2012, but it's specifically the Posed ability I need.

Ah well, thanks for the heads-up, I've tried every avenue now.

Daz -> Hex -> Daz.  There are a lot of Daz forum posts about it.  Since they bridge back and forth so easy, it makes things like this relatively simple (given you know how to use a modeler, like Hex)  I am a "beginner" modeller, and was able to make symmetrical morphs as you describe...plus Hex gives you a whole lot more options than a single brush.

Thanks for that, I have Hexagon but it's not installed right now, so just to clarify, will the bridge also allow me to send a "posed" figure to Hex and allow me to create the morph while it's posed?

If it does I'll give it a try, although I think I read Roxie can't be used in DS in figure form.  Even so, I'm still interested in the bridge thing, especially if it works with V4.2 and Genesis on posed figures.

You could try MTMirror. It is a free tool available at:-

It is years since I have used it but it should be able to mirror an existing morph target across a figure. So far as I know it would only mirror one bodypart at a time, but hopefully you can do what you need.

Thanks Ian, that looks promising!
That said, I've downloaded and tried it but I keep getting errors.

I think I'm not using it right, are there any instructions or tutorials you know of for it?

Hi,

Sorry I am not aware of any instructions or tutorials for MTMirror. It is several years since I remember using it, probaby back in the Victoria 3 era. I do recall it only worked on one bodypart at a time .

I doubt it'll work on Posed figures if it's that old, but thanks for pointing it out.

Yes ds to hex and back works on posed figures.

Ds also has deformers that can be uses to create morphs.

Thanks for that, SS.  I knew about the deformers, but wasn't aware of the DS/Hex situation regards Posed figures so that's good to know!

BTW, nice avatar, you'd go down a treat at "Whitby Gothic Weekend" if that were real.  Looks like a Gothic/Steampunk combi and there's a lot of that look on display at WGW's lately.
