in poser 4 i am trying to increase the size of the casual boys hand,problem is i have to do it hand first then each section of each finger.is there a way to increase the size of the entire hand all at the same time?

Not that I know of.

But you can scale the whole model bigger and then shrink everything but the hand. just kidding

lol,i though someone would have thought of adding such a thing after 3 versions/

I needed to do this for Massive Mike. The only way I know of is to use a magnet on the hand and add all the finger parts as elements to deform. Make sure your mangnet zone is large enough so that the fingers don't scale differently than the hand. Then change the scale on the magnet and you have a bigger hand.

I hate it when a joke backfires. ;)

Actually, mi-shia's suggestion does work better. A while back somone else pointed out that because of the number of parts, its actually faster to scale up the whole body, then scale down everything other than the hands. (15 vs 32)

...and when people edit posts and get replies out of order! :-)

thanks all,looks like im gonna have to do it the long way.

This may be too late to help Booth, but it will help others with the same problem. Rename the posted TXT to scalechilds.py before using. 1. Select any body part. 2. Change its Scale parameter. 3. Activate Scalechilds.py 4. All parts which are childs of the selected part will now assume the scale you entered. Example: Select left collar. Change its scale to 65%. Apply script. Everything in the left arm, down to the fingertips, will now be 65% of original. This is not universal, because I'm allergic to recursive programming. I put in just enough loops to reach all fingerparts and faceparts when starting from the Chest, which looks to me like the "tallest tree" in a Poser figure. If you're using a non-standard figure with more complexity or oddly formed chains, you might have to start further down the chain; but it will still help with fingers.

For the sake of completeness, I went ahead and rigged up parallel Py's for each separate scale figure. Same idea: with this one, select body part, set its X scale, apply the script, and all childs of that part will assume the same X scale.

As above.

as above.

thanks ockham,it was a bit to late but im sure its not the last time ill need to do this.

Very Cool, I really got to get into Python.
