Poser's parameter dials have several short cuts to make adjusting parameters easier. cheers, dr geep ;=]

Another Dr Geep mini-tutorial masterpiece. Thank you sir! B) Just one extra tidbit that may prove useful to anyone reading this. On the XYZ translate dials every figure/prop/bodypart has, Poser shows 3 decimal points 0.000. If moving a dial isnt accurate enough you can type in more than 3 decimal places, I think it reads to 5 or 6, but 4 is usually adequate. 0.1234 So if the eyes on your character, or props, dont quite fit, get more accuracy with Dr Geep.

Thanks Dr Geep! All these years using Poser and I never realised just how simple it was to change the name of a parameter dial! (Perfect for morph targets!) Gosh Darn, you learn something new every day on 'rosity! :-) Dave :-)

Nice image Geep. Putting this one in our list of tips and tricks. ScottA

Thank you Scott - You may use it (them) however you please. ;=]

I think you forgot one (my favorite): Alt/Click on the dial (in purple) to reset the value to it's default value. BTW, is there a way to change the default value?

You can change the name on the dial this way = what is after [ name ] in the morph section. You cannot change the actual name of the morph this way = what is after [ targetGeom ]. Poser only gives you one chance at targetGeom from within the program - that is when you replace your name for [ shape 1 ] when you first apply a morph. What you can do using a text editor is not so limited. Is the value that is here: initValue 0 the default?

"Alt/Click on the dial (in purple) to reset the value to it's default value."

Thanks for pointing that out, pzrite!
You are correct and that is one that I use often, also.

Note: It is almost impossible to include everything in these pictorials because ...

... of space limitations and graphic size constraints.

I am trying to provide a reasonable amount of information that newbees might be able to "digest." ;=]

*" Is the value that is here:

the default? "*

Good question, Jaager!

• and -
  I don't know the answer (dang you!) <---- [just kidding]

The "default value" seems to come from the "pose" in which the figure was saved. I have not done any experiments to verify this though. Perhaps someone else has the answer to this one.

Anyone, anyone ????????????????????????????????????????

Is not double clicking on the dial makes the Edit Parameter window appearing? Seravajan

heyas; okay, initvalue is the value of the dial when the figure loads. however, it isn't (necessarily) the same as the memorized value for the figure, which is down in the k section. my memory is a little fuzzy today, but i believe it is the number after the 0 in the k section. so initvalue happens when the figure loads, and the k value happens when you hit shift-ctrl-f. seravajan: yes. :) double-clicking on the purple section makes that window appear.

The k 0 _ - the _ is where the dial setting is, yes. The first number is the frame number for animations? I just have a difficult time seeing how initvalue fits into things, how you get a value there different from the key value. Sure, you can text edit, but Poser does not seem to have been engineered to require text editing.
