Hey,

Any one know if its possibel to make 1 diel for more then 1 magnet at once.

 

Lets say i have 4 magnets that make a effect that i want, can i then make a master diel that affect all 4 magnets? so i can easy diel up that affect..!

 

Hope you understand what i think of :) english is not my native language.

Make sure all your magnets are on at the same time and then do a Spawn morph target on the body part it effects. That will make one dial with all the magnet morphs in it. Then turn off the magnets and test it out by turning the new dial. If it works like you want you can delete the magnets. If it were me, I'd save my magnets to a prop file before I did all that in a "just in case" scenario ;). Something may not go right and you may need them again.

On warning about spawning a morph - make sure that all your morphs have been set to 0, otherwise they will be included in the spawned morph - which may be not what you want

 

Thanks but the spwan morp is not a option i can use... I need the magnets to stay on the base figure because i like the magnets to also affect clothing.

There are a lot of affects i made using manny manny magnets so if i spwan morps i will have to load all the magnets on clothing and spwan morphs on every single clothing item i want to use with the morph.

So i was hoping i could make a diel to just turn on the magnets for each affect and make a pose to add the magnets to the clothing.

Then  you'll have to load the magnets like props.

Yes, you can do that. One way to do it is to use a pose file to slave the channels in the magnets to channels in a control prop.

Give me a couple of hours, and I'll see if I can demonstrate this with an example.

Correct me if I'm wrong, after spawning a dial, that can be transferred to clothing content by using a 3rd party app like Morphing Clothes or possibly Wardrobe Wizard.

Hang on. Sorry I think I misunderstood the question. You can certainly have a dial that, say for example, yTranslates four magnets at once. But on rereading your post, I think you want to put all the magnets into some particular configuration via a dial. You might be able to do in P9 with Dependant Parameters, but I can't tell you how, I've never tried that.

it sounds like what you want to do is dial one single control and have it affect multiple magnets at once

there are two solutions to that .. one is cheating and one involves some hand coding

Cheating - as long as all you want to is move the magnets or scale them then you can parent them to a control ball and use the ball as a prexy to affect the magnets

Programming - you need to make a dial in your controller, and then add lines of code to your magnet to hook them up to the controller. this is not begginner level stuff

Examples - Wyrmmaster used to do this a lot but I think all his products have dissapeared

its pretty much the same as any other ERC call though, the tricky bit is making and saving your magnets first and then renaming all the parts to have unique names to avoid crosswiring in the future

I know some implementations of this explode in DAZ studo, so your mileage may vary

Sound like what i need to do :) do you know any good tut that can get me started ?
