Has anyone successfully transferred A3 morphs using Morph Manager? I did a pop-top, using A3 head and David. When I went to transfer the A3 morphs over using MM, nothing happened - the little hourglass spun, but nothing was transferred. I even spend 2 hours doing it manually (thats over a million lines of code to copy paste!) and the A3/D hybrid simply failed to load in Poser. For the record, I have successfully made Anime Doll pop-top hybrids of every single Mil figure I've got, so I know I am not missing a step, or a { or a } anywhere. I've checked and double checked that again and again. Frustrating.

I've been able to do it without any problems? I transferred A3 morphs to Laura after first deleting the original Laura head morphs and then copying A3 head morphs to Laura.

TamiL - Thank you for the reply. While frustrating that I wasn't successful last night, I am happy to know that it does actually work!

Well i hope you get it all worked out! It can be so much fun.

Geeze, thank you-- this is the first time I'm really glad I got Laura. I thought I'd toss her after a few fairy pics. This is much cooler. For those of us who are time-impaired-- coming up on 60 in December and need everything explained at least twice.:)) COuld you spell it out exactly how you did that? I mean step by step. I do understand you got rid of the original Laura face morphs first. Emily

Just curious... When you do it, do you load first a .pz2 file in the left window THEN a .cr2 file in the same window as well (just click the pz2 filename at the top and load the cr2)? The first time I tried it I didn't load the pz2 file (just the cr2's) and nothing happened, it was just a waste of time. MD doesn't have inj channels as the Mil figures do so that's probably why you didn't have problems before.

Follow usslopez's method listed here and see if that works:

queri- The first part of making Laura with Aiko's head involves using a wonderful tutorial at Ebonshire by Crescent called Poptarts http://www.ebonshire.net/tut-posa/poptop-a1.php. Once you follow this tutorial and export your morphs, you edit your Cr2 to point to the new head, left eye and right eye object files. It sounds complicated but it's quick and easy. After you have done this, you need to open MorphManager to copy the morphs to the new head. This is also simple........ Load the new cr2 that you have made into one side of MorphManager and load Aiko3.cr2 into the second side. scroll down to the head on your new Cr2 and expand the little plus sign next to the head, it will reveal a label called Morph Targets..........right click on this and delete them. Do the same for the right and left eyes. Now go over to the Aiko3 side of the window and expand the plus sign next to the head, right click on MorphTargets and choose "Copy All Morph Targets", do the same for the right and left eyes. After a minute or two you will notice that the morph targets have been copied to your new cr2, save the cr2 and your ready to go! Sorry if this is not clear, I am not very good at explaining this stuff.

Xena did a magnet set so you can transfer the Aiko head over as a morph for David (export the Aiko head, then load David and apply the head as a morph target), then apply the magnets and have a very nice anime male. http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12356&Form.ShowMessage=2022093 Cheers!

Or you can just use morphmanager to transfer the Stylized head and eye morphs over to David. THat gives an acceptable Anime male. I'm working on a David/Aiko male now, using a combination of Dodger technology, morphing, magnets, and Amapi. I do believe Daz has someone working on a male version now.

pdxjim any chance the artful dodger is making a set of aiko-ised morphs for the various mil3's using whatever magic tricks he has up his sleeve? for us time pressed folks? would be nice especially to have an anime david and freak Lyrra
