You know how you play with poses, bending arms, flexing muscles, changing expressions, etc.?  In order to get my figures back to a neutral, standing straight, no expression position, I always save that neutral position *including the morphs* everytime I make any changes to the figure.  It's worked well for me for years.

Then a couple of months ago I noticed that when I applied the latest "neutral" pose (and morphs) something seemed odd.  There were some morphs applied to the figure that were not in the pose I made and saved.  The figure's feet had the "sock" morph dialed to one and the "big toe up" dialed to one.  The hands had the "muscular" morph dialed to one.  Sometimes the "spandex" morph would appear (dialed to one) on one leg and occasionally on both.  In addition to those, I could see a bunch of very subtle changes take place when the morph was applied, mostly in parts of  the limbs getting bigger.

  1. I made a new "neutral" morph.  In fact I've made many new ones.  Every one of the new neutral morphs corrupts the figure in the same way.

2.  In order to save me the trouble of trying to conform clothes to this hard-to-fit figure, I save a copy of it with different outfits already applied.  I have about 25 clones of this figure, each with a different outfit.  Only some of the figures are corrupted by the new neutral morphs.

3.  This happened when I was using PoserPro 2010.  I removed the program and reinstalled.  There was no change.

  1. The release of PoserPro 2012 was announced.  I was sure a clean install of a new program would fix the problem but it didn't.  The same thing happens in PoserPro 2012.

5.  It does not happen at all in Poser 7.

6.  Tech support at Smith Micro couldn't figure out the problem.  Their next step would be to examine the CR2 of the figure.  That was a problem because my boss said the CR2 cannot leave our machines under any circumstances due to some kind of agreement with the creator.   The only person they might let examine the CR2 would be Phil C.

7.  In going back and applying earlier "neutral" morphs, I find that all of them corrupt the figure until I get to the one dated 04-14-2011.  That, and all previous neutral morphs work fine.

8.  I believe this started when one day I inadvertantly  reset my PoserPro 2010 to the original factory settings.  This would have been in late July or early  August.

Anyone have any ideas?
