HUH!?

Magnets? Spawn Morph Targets?

I have been trying to teach myself to create morph targets and magnets since Poser version 4.....WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS...I venture to add and feel more stupid for that single fact than i care to admit. Anyone that has tried helping me on this stuff in the past i am sure has given up on me and just tolerate my presence in these forums.

My head stutters and my eyes cross and I get anxious and close poser for a few hours, days and even weeks...frustrated at mys lelf for JUST NOT GETTING IT! There is a part of me that understands the principles of what you do but the sequence even reading it goes in every which direction except into my head. I read this tutorial three times this morning after 3 blueberry waffles and too big a small pitcher sized mug of strong coffee and still not able to get started. Must be a mental thing or FEAR.

My nephew a, a really smart engineer and no nerd at all, has come up with a solution. He understands my inability to deal with the basic functions important as building blocks of growth and how this learning disability has crippled me all my life and obviously interfering with learning to do so much to better create my artwork, which it seems i have all but quit on for a long time now. . I have difficulty names, number/dates and sequences. Jut can't process these elements with any kind of coherence. To help me work with Poser and stuff he is building me a cheap, under $100 tiny computer I can hook a 19inch screen to so I can read web pages and pdf tutorials on one big monitor and apply the info SLOW as necessary without having to bounce back an forth on one system. I am hoping that will help me get through some of these to what so many users are academically S.I.M.P.L.E. functions and tutorials. If that doesn't work I give up. I will book mark this page and your tutorial and sooooooo many others for when that little computer with so much needed potential is ready to patch me into the learning grid.

Until then, thanks so much for your help and looking forward to trying this.

Hey, don't beat yourself up so much, I have been doing Poser for over ten years now and it is only in the last year I have used magnets to any good effect and as for spawning morph targets, couldn't do that to save my life.  Am I stupid?  Very likely yes, but then the PC I use for Poser I built myself, after a lot of research, so everything is relative. I hope your tiny PC works for you, and it might.  I had all sorts of problems reading tutorials and then applying what I had read.  I found the best way for me to learn was to watch video tutorials, much in the way you describe, and took it in very small steps and sometimes rewinding and playing each step over and over again until I had it right. It won't work for everybody but that is the point, it is often a question of finding the best method of learning for you.  

Coming back to your original post, even today I still clothes to 'fit' by making parts of V4 invisible and, where that does not work such as not being able to make the chest invisible because part of the neck goes as well, I just use the morph brush.  It is much improved in 2014 and once you have the basics it is just like painting.  Of course all of this depends on just how far off the fit is but it one method, if only until you have the hang of more advanced techniques.   The character I use the most has big hips compared with the basic V4 so most of the clothes do not fit in that area but it takes me a couple of minutes with the morph brush to rectify the situation.

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
