Hello,
I recently tried using P7's included "Convert To Universal Pose" script to convert some of DM's Pose Boutique poses. However, when I did so, I found that the converted pose files cause all morphs on my figures to be zeroed out back to default when applying the actual pose. Does anybody know of a solution for this problem aside from having to go in a text editor and manually clean out all the un-necessary morph zeroing in the pz2 file? Is there a utility that makes that process easier?
Thanks,
Giolon

They're probably not including morph channels on writing the pose. If that's a script doing that task for you, then most likely you'd have to modify the script - it should be just a text file, but you'd have to know PoserPython to get very far. If you're not comfortable doing that yourself you could try asking in the PoserPython forum here, or contact the script author and ask. Is it an e frontier script?

Yes, the script is included w/ Poser 7, called "convertToUniversalPose" under Utility. It asks for a directory then walks its way through and converts each pose.
It seems to me the problems is that the script IS writing out all the morph channels (and writing 0s to them) when it should be ignoring them altogether. Is that not the case? I only have limited experience with this sort of thing.

Just checked out the script.
It's weird. Really weird. Apparently, there's a "ConvertToUniversalPose" method defined on the Figure class. And that method does everything, from folder selection to writing the poses. Not what I expected.

As for correcting the pose files, here's one way to do it without scripting:
-load a figure;
apply a universal pose;
save the pose back to the library, without morph settings.
I'd suggest making a copy of the pose folder, since saving back to the pose library will destroy the icons. If you follow this procedure using a copy, you can select all the .PNG files from the original pose folder and copy them over the yucky PNGs Poser created in the copied folder.
