The way there's always such a buzz about Vickie  ....the love affair kinda reminds me of "There's Something about Mary"....but ANYHOW,
I had to see what this woman was all about, So i went and got V4.2  along with Morphs ++....and it turns out I had to let installer bend me to its will and place everything in my efrontier/Poser7 directory the way it wanted to, (otherwise I could not find all of the morphs in Poser).
The lousy thing about this is all of the Morphs got installed in the library as poses! So for me Vickie's morphability is very time consuming and hard to set up because I have to load like a bazillion morphs from the poses library  in order to make the morph dials appear in the parameter dials window!
Can someone tell me if they have worked around this, and how do i cheat the directory placemement of morphs ( If it is possible)
Thanks

Once you have loaded all the morphs into vickie....save her as a figure in your library and then when you just wanna use her again just click that figure. To save as a figure, go to your character folder and click the + sign at the bottom of it... and it will ask you what you want to call it. Make sure vickie has just the morphs inj and nothing else otherwise it will save ths too, inc clothing etc if u have any on her.....

Yeah that totally makes sense. the cool thing is i can save a few different vicky figures with different sets of morph dials loaded, so that I am not always working with a vicky  with a parameter dials window that is a mile long!
BTW  i noticed that way up in the heiarchy when i have chosen the part "body"  there is a dial called "base"  ( at least I think that is what it said, I am not on my P7 machine now,  but the point is this dial seemed to be like an overall magnitude setting for all of the morph dials)
anyhow this dial does not respond to clicking and pulling well, and does not respond to direct entering of numbers.....are you familiar with this dial being a problem?
I want the individual morph dials for Vicky  to have a greater magnitude of effect  and I think what I am describing might be my problem

Thanks for your reply

Haven't a clue about that dial sorry.

You can move the morph++ load 'poses' into any of your library folders, for example the same folder as the Vicky figure. They will still work okay.

Plus... in the parent folder of the individual Morphs++ injectors, there is a single "Inj Morphs++ V4" pose that injects ALL of them at once. So you don't have to do them individually as you seem to be saying. But I also have her saved as a complete figure with her Morphs++.

Plus... the V4.2 installer does let you choose where you install her - mine did, anyways, but perhaps they changed it for some reason. I have V4.2 and her Morphs++ in an external runtime.

Plus... I'm unsure of the correct terminology, but that 'Base' dial reduces the effect of V4's built-in deformers. For example, with the dial at zero, if you rotate her collar bone up, her whole breast lifts and stretches with it. With the dial at -1.00, it does not.

Hope it helps a bit...

What you can do to manage V4 is to have a special runtime just for installing her. You can then copy and paste everything to where you want it. The main trick is that if you have any Pose files which reference her morphs you need to copy the geometries folder from your V4 runtime into that runtime.
