Subject: How to save Scale Values in Poses?

Please could someone advise. Using DAZ's IPB software (Injection Pose Builder) I enable the option to include Scale Values in addition to Morphs. After processing my character (Pose) appears with all the right morphs loaded but the scale values (I need a head X scale of 104% for this particular face) load as the default 100%. This means it is impossible for me to enable the correct shape of my pose character, as it seems POSER 4 by itself can't record scale values when saving to a pose. Is there any solution to this? I know I can manually edit the Pz2 file but, unhelpfully, the scale values appear as: 0 1 What does this mean? How do I change these two digits to reflect 104% scaling? Thanks for any wisdom forthcoming. Leonardis

IPB only works on the body section. you'll have to add the head scale manually. 1 = 100%, 0.9 = 90% 0.85 = 85% and so on. 1.04 would be 104%

Those lines that look like k 0 1 actually represent keyframes. In an animated pose, there will be a list of 'k' lines, one for each frame marked as a keyframe. In a static pose like you're using, the only 'k' line is for the first frame. (The internal numbering starts from 0 instead of 1.) The first number is the frame, and the second is the value. For scales, the value is represented as a decimal, which means that the 104% you see on the dial becomes 1.04 in the file. So if you want 104% scale, the line should be: k 0 1.04

Good to know

Thank you very much for such clear explanations. Of course: there's just one keyframe in a static pose. I should have worked that out. Many Thanks, Leonardis
