having used Poser for a year and finally got the hang of MPE, I was wondering just how to make injection morphs - do I need another program for this or can I do it with MPE or within Poser? I'm having a senior senior senior moment here, lol ;-)

you using Poser 6 or earlier version, please say.

sorry, I'm using P6 - forgot to mention ;-)

I don't think you can do it in MPE. I find 'Morph Manager 4' (MM4) a good tool for making delta injection poses.

The technique I use is to construct a template pz2 file in a text editor that contains the actors I want to inject into, each actor in the template contains a channels section. Then I load the cr2 in one window of MM4, and the template in the other and just copy the morph channels across from the cr2 to the pz2 template. Here is an example of a template for the head and chest.

{<br></br>version<br></br>    {<br></br>    number <br></br>    }<br></br><br></br>actor chest<br></br>    {<br></br>    channels<br></br>        {<br></br><br></br>        }<br></br>    }<br></br><br></br>actor head<br></br>    {<br></br>    channels<br></br>        {<br></br><br></br>        }<br></br>    }<br></br><br></br>figure<br></br>        {<br></br>   }<br></br>}

If you don't understand how to make a template, you can use my "PZ2 Templates" in the Free Stuff.

thanx - I'm totally at sea abt templates will look in freestuff - just need a little proggie that will help with inj poses for making characters

If you want to make an INJ Pose using only standard morphs from the morph packs, you can use DAZ Injection Pose Builder, available for $1.99 if you're a PC member. Very easy to use, you just let it process a cr2 you have prepared with the necessary morphs and dial settings and you'll get an INJ Pose file as the result.

If you want to make INJ poses for P6 it's very sipmple. You need a character without morphs means, V3, V2, .. redistributable, others you have to remove the morphs with morphmanager, one bodypart by one. Save this figure and apply your morphs. Save the new figure with the name you want to give for your morphs, but don't forget to switch on under edit: general Preferences: Misc: Use external Binary morphs. Now use a texteditor and copy this : { version { number 6 } injectPMDFileMorphs RuntimeLibrariescharactermymorph.pmd createFullBodyMorph mymorph } Mymorph is the name of your saved character and the pmd file is also there. The full body morph works only if you name all your morphs exactly the same. Save this in your pose library under mymorph.pz2 Check it with a standard character. If it works, you may delete your mymorph.cr2 but don't do it from Poser, use your Filemanager. Thats it.

Note: To use the method in post #4, you must have 'Use external Binary morphs' switched off.
