Huh...one of my Michael character's body morphs (thin, tone, etc) have suddenly stopped working. All the other morphs work, including the corresponding individual body part morphs. The scale dials still work fine, but the body morphs do nothing. None of my other Mike's are having a problem, and they worked when I made him. Any wisdom on what happened and how to fix it?

heyas; hmmmmm.... sounds like a figure numbering problem, maybe. poke around in the cr2, and check the figure section to see what the figure's 'name' is. if it isn't 'figure 1,' that's probably it. check any body part's slave channels (ie: tone morph) and see what it is pointing to. there's a figure pointer and body part pointer. they probably say figure 1 and body:1. if your figure isn't named figure 1, and it has like body:8 and stuff in it, that's why it doesnt work ;) do a search and replace to replace the :8 (or whatever) with a :1 (its safe to do that), and then change the figure name to figure 1. or, if you want him to have a real name, do a search and replace the figure 1 with 'bob' or whatever.

Well, I couldn't find any discrepancies and got tired of looking through the file. I used morph manager to move all his face morphs to a new Mike blank, then recreated him. What a pain, but I've got him back and working so that's what's really important I guess. Such a weird thing though.

Happens to me all the time, I'm starting to thing Full Body Morphs are a figure of speech. Does anybody know how this information (which morphs are adjusted, and how much) is actually stored? Is it appended to the figure RSR in Geometries, like I'm starting to think?

heyas; no, its in the morph channels of the cr2. its the delta add delta, deltaop thingies. the delta things point to what figure, what part, and what channel it is slaved to; and there's a number there that tells the turn-dial ratio. if you haven't read nerd's tutorials on ecm/jcm/whatevercm's, you should check it out; they explain everything.

Gee, I should have thought of that, duh! I looked in the FBM channel, but of course there is nothing there.

naah. the fbm channel is just the master channel that the slaved channels point to. it's just a blank dial, basically. :)
