Hi all, Does anyone use Masa's Morph Mirror? Would somebody be willing to tell me how to use it correctly? There are no instuctions on his website nor within the zip. Here are the steps I'm currently under taking: 1) Open base: I open the P4male head object (one that I had exported from poser as an .obj file.) 2) Open MT: I load in the morph target I have created based on the dork's head. 3)Mirror R -> L 4)Save MT 5)Mirror L -> R 6)Save MT using a different name. Now I should have 2 different morph targets both symetrical but based on different sides of the head, shouldn't I? It doesn't seem to do anything at all. I end up with two morph target identical to the morph target I loaded. That is to say... It does nothing. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong or reasons why it will not work? I've included an image just incase it jogs someone's memory. Thanks bunches.

heyas; there's a sorta picture chart at masa's site (last time i looked) that shows what each option does. hmmm... the latest mtmirror had a preview window you could open. did you try that? are you sure your morph target is asymmetrical? after you mirror the right to the left, mirroring the left to the right... um, will give you the same thing, i think. since you made both sides the same already. other than that, i really have no clue, because i usually can't get past the 'not symmetrical' stage in loading the base :/

Which side did you do the morph on? If it was the right, then that side is already what you want. Mirror right to left and you have your morph - symmetrical. Mirror left to right and you erase your morph. Swap and your right side morph is now left side and right side is base, or whatever you did to the left by mistake. Your mistake is using Poser export for the base. It might work, but I don't trust it for this. Open the cr2 and the obj in MM4, choose the head, right click, and I think you can Export To Geometry. If you did the morph in Poser with magnets, get it into the cr2 as a morph, you may have to Export to morph target and apply this as a morph target. I don't know, I don't use the magnets. Select this morph and Export To Geometry from MM4. MTM is easier to use if you put the base and morphs in the same folder with the .exe . bloodsong, Make sure your base is a single group, or the matched pair, if the group is not on the center line.

Thanks guys. I'll try it again.

CR2Edit will also mirror morphs, 2 ways, depending on just what you are trying to do: in the OBJ, or the CR2. Dan http://www.zenwareonline.com for CR2Edit, ZenPaint, ZenTile, VueMaster and the complete line of Zenware graphics apps
