I found some good how-to videos about Morph Creation on YouTube. So I tried one (Poser 12 on Mac). I created a morph for the Right Shin of Sixus1's Scarlet character. Now I have a couple of questions:

1. How do I get an equivalent morph (mirrored?) onto the Left Shin?

2. If I have a character that I have already built on Scarlet's base figure, is there any way to get the resulting morphs into that character?

Many thanks for any help.

I had learned from the video what the Right Shin: -x to +x did. But I did not know what the Andy2: Right to Left did. Maybe I should have guessed, but your help was right on target-- and its got me where I wanted to go. It's working great now.

With the help from this forum, I am gradually making some progress. Many thanks.

Just a reminder, thanks to several Poser gurus, that morphs are linear: Small bend angles don't look too bad but, above ~30º, forget it...

So, sliding doors / windows on a panel van are okay, cab doors may open 'ajar', but back doors will not 'swing back' as intended.

If I could work grouping etc, I'd arrange pivot axis, dial etc to twirl each back door by ~270º with limits.

I got around my lack of skill by using a $$ utility to convert that free MMD/PMX vehicle with such morphs to FBX...
