Subject: Identication of morph vertices

Hello all,

I would like to fix errors on existing morphs but how we can identify the vertices associated with a specific morph when complex morphs affected the same region. There is a script that can highlight the vertices associated with a morph.

Seems like a great suggestion. Could some of our high end gurus come in with a view on this?

Unless they've introduced unexpected new features to Poser Python, the only way to highlight vertices would be to create box props around the vertex centers. I have a few old scripts that do that, but nothing already written that just identifies vertices with deltas for a specific morph.

I've begun tacking something together out of pieces of my other scripts. My Python is a bit rusty -- I've barely touched Poser for almost a year -- so this may take a day or two. But if you can wait that long, I should have something that can address this problem.

I'm not sure how we're supposed to post Python scripts to the Renderosity forums nowadays, however. Between Rosity blocking most attachments in forum posts and also blocking external links for freebies and such, I have no idea how I'm supposed to share anything. How does it work, nowadays, Boni?

(Note that Cage is not here claiming to be any sort of whaddayacall High End Guru. Way too rusty with Poser, for that....)

Okay. I've got a script up and running. Didn't take as long as I thought.

If anyone will let me know how to post it to the forum, it's ready to share.

Hello Cage,

Happy to hear from you. Thank you for taking time to look at this request and provide the script. I was thinking to write one if nobody have already worked on that. Some time ago, I wrote a small script to identify visually vertex by placing a small ball on the selected vertex. (See my freestuff for the script). About the distribution of the script, I use the freestuff section to share my scripts. You can always ask persons to contact you via the Renderosity site mail and send the script at their personal E-mail address.

Aha! Your efforts would probably be of better quality than mine! I tend to slap things together from components of scripts I wrote years ago. It sounds like you settled on the same basic solution I did, but with a more complex marker geometry. Cage is a cheapskate, even when it comes to the number of vertices in his Python geometries.

Sending an e-mail off in in your direction.

If you have a file locker account with us you can share, otherwise I suggest dropbox.

Thanks, Boni. It's good to know how things work around here now.

I set up some Google Drive folders to share stuff. The price is right; all you need is a Google account...
