I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem regarding the grouping tool. Here I have a set of prop eyebrows. They come as one solid prop and as you can see have a selection of morph dials. What I need to do is to make each brow independant of the other in a way that preserves the morph dials function. I can group each one individually and use "create prop", but then I lose the dials. I can see three methods of doing this:

1. Delete one half of the prop.

2. Convert the prop into a figure and have each brow as separate "limbs".

3. Use the "create prop" tool and inject the morph dials back into it.

I've yet to find a successful way to do any of these things. Is this even possible in Poser or do I need to use a tool like blender?

I'm using Poser 7 btw.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

I don't remember if P7 had an internal Morph Split function.  I think it did.  Try the little arrows to the right of each morph dial.

(P9 definitely has this function.)

If the splitter is present in P7, it's by far the easiest way to do what you want!

 

Thanks, that's part of the way there. But I still need to be able to rotate, translate, etc each brow individually.

 try magnet on either one.  shrink zone down to fit.

If other suggestions do not work, you can always duplicate the prop, create in each a new group for either the left or right brow, and use that to make one of them transparent . This way you will keep the morphs

do what wimvdb said and select one brow and assign a new material (zone) to it and save back to the lib and not create a new prop and you should be all set and the morphs perserved. Then make the right or the left 100 percent transparent to hide the one you don't want.

Wimvdb and gritcher: I did what you said and this works perfectly! Thanks.

Glad you got it working. Next time you can answer my question :biggrin:

Just happen to be finishing up something like you were doing and hiding some pockets on a dress with morphs I didn't want to loose, so passed along what I just figured out.

There are people here that know Poser forwards and backwards and inside out and I am not one of them. I lean on their vast knowledge all the time. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
