Subject: How to mirror a morph to the opposite body part?

I'm sure this must be covered somewhere, but a google search didn't turn it up. For example, if I have applied a morph to the left foot, and want to do the same thing to the right foot. I tried using MT mirror using the opposite part as the base, but it didn't work so well.

Couple of questions:

What version of Poser are you using and did you make this morph or is it already included in the figure?

Poser 10. A morph I made in another application. It's something that has come up a lot, so I need a general solution. It's hard to do the exact same thing to both sides, so for the sake of symmetry I would want to mirror it to the other side. Generally the way I make a morph is to save it as an obj and load it as a morph target; I haven't learned how to make morph injection files yet.

What other application?

Can you set an X mirror while modeling?

That is how most do it.

Morph Mirror

Just over half way down the page.

If the figure itself isn't completely symmetrical it's not going to look so great, no matter what's used.

There is an OLD utility called MTMirror II and its updated version called SHAPER I by MASA (Japanese Poser creator) that may help.

Try here http://www.eurus.dti.ne.jp/~masasi/DOWNLOAD/index.htm

Look at Other Tools for MTMirror.

I have pp2014 but I'm under the impression the morph tool is the same in both. I was able to load up M4 and one of his left ear morphs. I then opened the morph tool. On the create tab, click on the drop down menu where it says custom morph and find the morph you're working with. I then went down to the mirror buttonand chose Head: -x to +x. Now the left ear morph move both ears at the same time. You could probably use the left to right (or right to left) options. I just used the other.

Thanks, I have MTMirror, I know how to mirror to the other side of the same body part, I am talking about when it is a completely separate body part on the other side of the body, for example the other hand or the other foot. I already tried MTMirror for that, maybe I just don't know the right way to do it, I think location information is causing a problem.  I am using Blacksmith.

RedPhantom, where is this dropdown menu that you speak of? I have tried all kinds of things, and nothing mirrors the morphs to the other side.

To be as specific as possible: I am currently making morphs for the open source centaur, which has the ears as separate body parts from the head (they are very large ears.) I noticed that the ears need more morphs. I loaded the right ear into Blacksmith and made some morphs for it. Then I realized that I am not going to be able to duplicate the exact same morphs on the left ear, if I morph it separately, and the ears will look completely different. I want to transfer the morphs I made for the right ear over to the left ear. There is obviously a way to do this, since the figure already has symmetrical morphs for both ears, which were obviously made somehow.

The morphing tool, as far as I can tell, only mirrors morphs made with the morphing tool. It won't even mirror stuff you make with the "combine morphs" part of it. At least it won't for me. The menu that you get when you right click on the body part, then go to "symmetry," then to "this part to opposite side" doesn't do anything either. (what is that even supposed to do? Nothing happens.) MT Mirror does apply the morph, but it applies it weirdly; I think it's trying to move the body part to the opposite side.

Seems  like it should be simple.

My morphing tool doesn't have that "custom morph" dial there.


AsteroidLady ( ) posted Tue, 24 February 2015 at 7:14 PM

Why does the morphing tool sometimes have a visible effect, and other times I can't see what it has done until I save a copy and dial it up, even though I'm not changing any settings that I know of? It seems random. I like to see what I'm doing, is there a way to set it so it always shows the morph as I'm making it?
