Ok, I almost always make my own 'characters' in my work, and I'm thinking of setting up a few I can reuse. In the past, I've gone through each and every body part and spawned a new morph, and then after resetting the figure going through again and setting all these morphs to 1.0, then creating a full body morph target. Then I have to use something like Morphmanager to go through each and every morph one by one and transfer them over to a new figure without any of the shaping morphs I used to make my character... I know there are easier ways to do this. But what are they? First, I suppose I could make a pose, but how do I make a pose that doesn't also set to 0.0 the morphs in my 'shaping-figure' I ended up not choosing to adjust? Or, is there a python script out there or something that will spawn morph targets for me for all body parts automatically, so I don't have to spend an hour or more going through one by one... Or anything else / other advice / suggestions? Whatever it might be, I'm on Poser 5 not 6 so I have to stick to whatever limits that puts on me (I upgraded to Poser 5 in December, and that close to the upgrade it seemed foolish to upgrade the app all over again)...

The spawned props approach has the advantage that your CR2s will be smaller, and you'll get more efficient memory use in Poser (hence, more characters possible per scene). For the 3 series figures from DAZ, there's a program called injection pose builder which will take a character and make INJ and REM poses for that character. That's the usual way of distributing characters for V3 and her ilk. For non-injection characters, you can make a MOR file which is basically a pose file with everything except the morph channels stripped out. But if it's for your own use, what you're doing is the best way, if tedious. There may be a script that will help with this. Just shout "ockham!" :) I don't have my collection to hand, and I can't remember what's in there...

So you'd say what I'm doing, the spawn method, is the ideal? If anyone knows of a script to automate it, let me know. :)
