Subject: One Master Dial to rule them all


aldebaran40 ( ) posted Thu, 22 January 2015 at 2:09 PM · edited Tue, 19 November 2024 at 3:56 PM

As you can see I have dials that control the intensity - in this case - from displaces maps, I would like to have a Master dial to control all .what I want to do is to decrease or increase the Master dial and all those who are within them increase or decrease at the same time when I move the Master dial 

It is possible that?

One dial to bring them all and in the darkness bind them..."

Yes, it can be done.  

Poser files are text files and are easy to edit.   If a channel has key values, those values can be controlled by another dial by inserting the proper code lines.

Poser itself has a "Teaching" function that does this, but since I am used to getting at the "guts" of a file directly, I have never bothered to learn the necessary fine points wen going at it this way.

D3D Poser File Editor may have a function to assist, but I have no hands on experience using it to do what you are after.

I find it easier to just hack the controls in using a text editor and the straight Paste function in PFE.

The master dial - I would just generate using  an existing master  to provide the base structure.

A lot easier using PZ3Editor from Phil here at Rendo, or EasePose Underground, I use them both.

first of all thanks  Schurby and Jaager   for the reply

Yes I done it , then I will do a mini - tuto and upload it (only use  Poser , I not have D3D or PZ3Editor or EasePose  ) , but I think  it is relatively easy when you already understand what you're doing of course.

As I promised:

I will create a dial that controls the value of other dials (in this case those who control the strength of displace maps, but it can be anything else) file_0777d5c17d4066b82ab86dff8a46af6f.jp

aldebaran40 ( ) posted Wed, 28 January 2015 at 7:03 PM

after I put the value of the master dial 1 and all values of the parameters of the 8 values that control the displaces strength of 1 also 

file_0a09c8844ba8f0936c20bd791130d6b6.jp
then I put the intervals of the parameter "master dial " to 0 and the 8 values of the child dials to 0 (by that I teach that when moving the master dial , modify the associated  dials )

stop teaching

Content Advisory! This message contains nudity, profanity

let's test:

master dial = 0.000

file_903ce9225fca3e988c2af215d4e544d3.jplet's put some strength to displaces, I put the master Dial  in 1.000

file_a8f15eda80c50adb0e71943adc8015cf.jp
FUCK , it seems to she have been in the water for several hours

I put the Master dial in 0.5000

The best tutorial of all time? Yes maybe :)

Hello Aldebaran40,

First of all, excellent creation. I wrote a tutorial of Poser Dependent Parametesr (See the link below). I don't know if it can be useful for you because you understand the basic of dependant parameter Editor. I am not writing Part 2 of the tutorial and I expect to deliver the tutorial in about two months.

 Good luck in your project

I downloaded it and I gave a quick look, it looks very very interesting, I'll read it carefully
Thank you very much for the tutorial Allstereo
