Morph Putty Tool: Hooray! A bunch of people responded to my earlier Putty Post, & a couple of 'em testified or insinuated that they got the tool to do something. I hope we can pursue this a bit more because it would be a REAL boon to the community if we can get this thing to perform. Why? Because it is essentially 3D modeling right within Poser, isn't it? The Manual (p.170) says ..."sculpt your figures' morph targets by selecting & moving vertices. You can do this with any scene object that has morph targets." (Note that nowhere does it say you have to use the Face Room or heads.) I still can't do any "good" modeling in RayDreamStudio or anything else I've tried, so when I remembered & re-read about the Morph Putty tool I thought, hmmm, this may be an answer. Then of course I tried it out & couldn't get it to do a blasted thing. But there's gotta be a way. For a specific f'rinstance: I want to make a Tee shirt. I have a royalty-free mesh, from which I've lopped-off the legs, arms & head. I ran it through MorphManager, so it's loaded with morph targets. The neck, arms & hip area need fixing so it looks like a Tee shirt. I can make transparency maps, but it's a pain trying to get the seams to match up, plus, more CPU strain to render the trans maps. Or.. if I could just "move vertices"...
