I just downloaded Posers Little Helper so i can create inj/rem morphs.
Now i understand how to load the original obj and the morphed obj files.
All the documentaions state to make sure that the correct MIC are selected.
HUH? I can see : MIC and a blank screen there...how can i select a MIC if there's nothing on the screen and no way of selecting them.
Where are the MIC files...are they supposed to be generated when the obj files are loaded?
I am attempting to use V4.2 and a face i created in Face Shop 3.5.
What am i doing wrong? does PLH support V4?
I tried to bring the modified obj file from FS into Daz using Morph Loader but it refuses to work.
FS obj files work properly in Poser 6 but...Poser crashes when I try to load V4 soooo.... i am stuck between a rock and a hard place on this one!

In poser 6 turn OFF the use external binary morphs . That causes problems with V4 from reports in the forums . 

I cant answer about PLH , sorry , but maybe you can get V4 in Poser 6.  If binary morphs are not being used then I dont know ...

See the attached graphic (click for larger view). When you first open PLH, it should look like the above image. There should be at least the two default MIC files in the "MIC File" window, you can select the appropriate MIC file in this window. If the window is blank, there must be something wrong with your installation, try reinstalling.

The MIC files live in:

.PLHTextMICNameLists   (where "PLH" is the name of the folder you installed to).

They are text files. They contain a list of channels available for delta injection. I you are not using a DAZ figure, you can create your own list to suit your figure. Apart from seeing the "MIC File" window when you first open PLH, you will be able to access it later, after you press the "Setup Injection Files" or "Setup MorhpPose" button.

Whoops! the path seperaters did not show in my last post, it should have read: .PLHTextMICNameLists (where "PLH" is the name of the folder you installed to).

lesbent...ok...so I need to reinstall PLH then as i am getting blank screen in MIC.
Oh guys as far as V4 is concerned she is now working in Poser...yay i was told that i should install her in the poser runtimes not trying from an external runtime!!! Yay it worked i didn't need to play around with binary morphs...but now i know how to if i do cheers.
I'll reinstall PLH and see if this works.

PLH should work with any figure. I don't have V4, but I imagine she uses the same channel names as V3 and other DAZ figures, so you should be able to use the "V3_3Party.mic" file with V4.

If you still can't see the "V3_3Party.mic" and "V3_DAZAddOn.mic", you could try using the Windows Search Utility to search for these files. If you find them, put them in the "MICNameLists" folder.

If you are running Vista, I hear that is has a nasty habit of storing some files in the wrong place, but I don't have Vista, and can't advise you on that one.
