Well with all this inclemant weather we have around this time of year, I thought you guys could use a cheap brawly to brave the elements. I don't think in my many download travels that I ever saw one. I still have a little tiny bit to do. I need to slim down the shaft and the handle, it's a little clunky for such delicate hands. I'll take suggestions for what type of handle it should be. J shape like it is , duck head, totes-like, etc. I also wanted to make it open and close. but I kept getting garbage on the inbetween morph. So feel welcome to tackle this one. James

jschoen--simple solution to your morph problem--double click on the morph dial. Set the values on the dial for a minimum value of 0.000, the maximum value for 1.000 and the sensitivity to 1.000. That way, the umbrella only has two states, open or closed. Morphs work well for things that open up, down, or sideways, but if the morph requires part of the object moves in an arch (like opening a hinged lid or a book) the in-between states look bizarre.

One more thing I think I want. Please post--altho' the morph to open or close would be nice if you can work it out. Diane B

Thanls for the tip Freak, but i indeed wanted to have it open. Might just be a little to much for a morph. I'll more than likely just post it as a static prop. Oh well here's an update.

You would need a Poser model with each hinged or sliding part as a separate jointed part, and then wait until someone has put into Poser an ability for two parts which share vertexes but they are not parent and child, not to split apart in movement.
