So, I've just learned to use magnets to create new morphs to eliminate poke-throughs.  I've done it twice, and seemed to be successful the first time.  The second time, though...

I'm working on the character's hip area with a crotch poke-through.

I set up the magnet, changed the zone of effect so that it was working only on the area affected, and maniplated it until the poke-through was gone and it looked good.

I told P9 to spawn new morph target and named the morph.

Then I eliminated the magnet.  (Causing the area to revert.)

But when I set the morph to 1.0, instead of getting the fix, the whole hip area changes -- and not in a good way.

I used this exact same process previously, on another set of clothing, without a problem.  The only difference I can see is that previously the item was just a pantie, while this time it's a whole pantie-skirt combination.

I'm using P9 on a W7 machine.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Thanks.

This is occurring because you have other morphs (perhaps an injected character?) also applied.

When you spawn a morph, ALL changes to the geometry are merged into that single morph. When you turn up the spawned morph, you are getting all of the morph settings from the other changes DOUBLED.

There are several solutions to this:

  1. Use the morph brush. It's changes are controlled by the "custom morph" dial that will be automatically added.

  2. Set up your magnet. Click on the REM posed for your injected character. Spawn the morph. Delete the Magnet. Re-inject the character. Turn the morph dial to 1.

Hope this helps.

Yeah.  Okay.  That makes perfect sense.

I think I figured that out once before -- but that's the trouble with not doing these things very often.

So I need to turn off the other morphs and then re-save.

I don't think P9 has a morph brush.  (Not even sure the non-Pro 10 has.)

Thanks!

I'll let you know how it works.

Yeah.  That did the trick.

Thanks so much!

I'll have to make a note to myself, so I don't forget between now and the next time I use it.
