Dial manager is what I needed, thanks for the suggestion.

Never mind then. I will write some utility to do this as it looks like I am the only one that seems to need it.

Thanks for the replies but saving partial poses does not help with this issue. There is no way of selecting individual parameters dials. Its either joints only or joints plus all the parameter dials in the figure/body part.

I was referring to some applications within Poser, not applications as software. For example saving a single pose that could contain joint rotations plus some morphforms.

Thanks for the tip gate. It worked perfectly. I save the figure while parented, edit the BODY parent keyword to smartparent, save it and that is it.

I wonder why Curious Labs has not put such a trivial option in Poser yet. Maybe it breaks something else.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I was able to fix this by deleting the head morph dial from the eyes. Since the eye centers are automatically adjusted when they are moved then I could link the eye positions and scales to the head morph directly. Works perfectly.

I was overthinking it by believing that the eye centers were not adjusted automatically.

I know how to create master morphs and dependencies. The problem is trying to control the center points of the eyes (where they rotate about). There is no entry in the parameters for a master dial to link to. Even with all the hidden parameters shown.

I attached previews of the head propagating scale set at 0.3 for all three cases.

good luck

This workaround seems to work well. Thanks.

So is this a known bug in the figure?

You can try PoseRay.

Load the obj, go to obj output tab, and export using a different name. All models read into the program are automatically split into triangles. UVs are kept. 

good luck,

Bagginsbill,

Thank you very much for the clarification. The new content manager is a breath of fresh air. Flexible, fast, easy to navigate and use. I am glad I do not have to use a temperamental 3rd party manager anymore.

Poser 6 may have worked well in Windows 7 using a single core processor. But I recently upgraded to a multi-core system and now Poser 6 only runs with the affinity modifier so it runs with only one core. Without it the system randomly experiences a hard freeze. Besides some of the dialogs do not work well.

So I eat my words and upgraded to Poser Pro 2012. Thanks to another thread, I found out about the 50% discount currently Smith Micro has on Poser.

I also found out that Smith Micro is now posting the Poser Manual online so most of the questions I had were answered.

Thanks again for all the responses.

Thanks everyone for the answers.

Bantha, you were right, I do not care about the rendering improvements.

Unfortunately it seems that most of the changes are related to rendering. Still it is difficult to properly manage and manipulate content within the program. Strange that it still requires the archaic content organization. I thought that by now it could tell what it was loading by at least file extension. I suppose legacy is sometimes difficult to break.

For my purposes, Poser has not changed much so I will stay with 6 for now and will upgrade when it won’t run in the latest Windows version. Runs fine in Windows 7 (64bit).

Thanks for your reply. 

As I suspected the morph brush is just for light retouching of the mesh. Not great for creating a complex morph.

As for the organization I was asking about the poser content files. Not the resources (image maps, geometry files, etc). I wanted to know if the content files could be organized such as in the attached image.
