heyas; look, it's lotor! erm... anyway.... remember i kept going around saying you SHOULD be able to put the stretching controls in a conforming figure and have it work with the strethy m2/bishonen stuff? well, i finally did the experiments. and it doesn't quite work. :/ however, you can stretch the conformer, and then just do the old "apply the same pose" trick to get it to fit your stretchy-legged figure. you can get the sordid details in the poser tech forum if you follow the link. now i suppose you want to know how to put the stretch dials into a conformer. well... open the m2 cr2 and your conformer cr2. first, make sure they all use the same figure tag, that is ":1" BODY: swipe the stretch master dials and throw them into your conformer body. that's stretchneck, stretcharms,and stretchlegs. NECK and UPPERNECK: copy the yScale channels from these two and replace the yScale channels in your conformer. (or, just add the slaving code to yours.) SHOULDER and FOREARM: copy the xScale channels from these and replace the ones in your conformer. THIGH and SHIN: copy the yScale from these to replace those in your conformer. note: if you do a search for 'stretch,' you'll find the pertinent channels fastest. if you have p4/ppp, the crosstalk should read the stretch dials from m2/bishonen's body and automatically apply it to your clothing item. why doesn't it work? it works okay, unless you try to pose it, then the clothing wigs out. why? i dunno. but in my defense, poser's scaling is SCREWY.
