Dang it!\ But it gets swallowed when you edit your post\ so you must add those \ double backslashes \ manually again
I really hope I have my \Kalashnikov\ with me the day I meet the guy who had this \absolutely brilliant idea\.
You're right about the creation of channels:
Until PP2014 Poser couldn't create valueParms "on the fly" in a ready loaded figure. It had to be done while the inital figure is loaded: Load geometry, load body parts, load channel groups, create valueParm and targetGeom channels, load data for these, assemble the final figure.
That's also the way the SASHA-16 Setup works: A script preloads the geometry and some basic channels, and then, depending on the "elements" you click, the figure is built .
It's like building a LEGO figure, brick by brick. But once you've assembled the figure it's almost impossible to add more bricks right in the middle of the figure without breaking it.
However, in PP2014 I can already create "targetGeom" injections to be added anytime. There's also limited support for "valueParm" creation, though only via a Python script. What's still missing is full control over the creation of both channel types in both BODY and body parts. Then we could finally do away with all those cumbersome methods: Take a bare base figure, and inject whatever morphs you need, later, anytime.
We're almost there. Almost!
