Hi everyone,

I'm still pretty much a novice with Poser but like the program very much and have just bought Pro 2014.

Because I also use Carrara, I'm trying to get the best from both by building up some content for the V4 /M4 figures which I haven't really used much. I have V4 and the morphs ++. I bought S4 elite and have just bought MRL Melissa SU (https://www.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/mrl-melissa-su/86966).

I've been loading V4 and then the Melissa body INJ (from the pose library). The head becomes hugely out of proportion. When I inject the Melissa Head morph, only the face changes. I've tried this with and without the S4 Elite morphs and the V4 ++ morphs but can't find a way to reduce the size of the giant head.

Do I need to buy something else? I noticed that there is a V4 elite package but hope I wont need to buy it. (Although, if it is something that gets incorporated into lots of other characters then I'd be willing to.)

Thanks for any advice.

No offence, but I'll try this question in the main forum where it may get more views.

It's OK now.

I searched through the Morphs ++ in the Pose library and double-clicked on 'Head Size'. The morph dial then appeared in the Parameters window.

I'm still a bit puzzled as to why that dial didn't appear after I had loaded Morphs ++.

I remember this being a problem a long time ago but I don't recall the solution. Did you properly initialize V4 after installing the morph package?

Thanks, hborre, for replying here and in the other thread.

For new Poser users, here is hborres's advice from that thread:

Reinitialize to correct the problem because it will crop up again unexpectedly. Go to Runtime>Libraries>iDAZ, and double-click DZCreateExPFiles-V4.bat. This should take care of the issue. And this must be done every time a new DAZ morph package is installed

Select the Charactures body, Not the head, or any other body part. Then in your parameters under Morphforms. you will see head size. dial it back to "0". That should do it. If I am happy with that charactures head size, I will delete Head size from Morphforms, then you the head size won't happen to that characture again. or just leave it in, that shouldn't happen again on that figure. But that can happen when you start a figure and start adding morphs to a new figure. So if that happens, you know how to correct it.
