When I save a pose, the whole body will be saved. Can I made a pose of some parts only ? Just like only right shoulder, right forearm, and right hand. or say, only two fingers? Thx answering!

I'm new to poser so can't explain this in detail. As for making poses of particular parts, yes, it can be done. Go look at your library on hands. That's a pose that applies only to the hands. Or same with faces. I don't know if this is a morph save or what, but it can be done. Hope to hear some tech replies to this.

You can open the pose file in a text editor (WordPad works fine). You will find that all morphs have their separate sections in the text, you will recognize the names from the dials. Just edit out the morphs that you don't want in the text file and re-save it. It might sound daunting at first to go into a file and mess around with it in a text editor, but once you looked at it and see that the structure is quite simple, it's very easy. The same goes for face and and hand poses, BTW.

This works in Poser 4. When you save a pose there is a button on the "Set name" dialog box that says "Select Subset". Click this and you can choose the bodyparts you want to save. Click on Universe to deselect them all, then select the ones you want. Hope this helps Mark

Thanks, Routledge, that's an easier solution. Usually, I never think of that when saving a pose, I always have to go in and edit it afterwards, LOL

Ha, been there too B). Editing a pose is an entirely valid way of doing it, and its very useful to learn how. Then you can add things in like "scale" information, strip out "rotate" and "trans" info to create pure morph poses (so you can change a body shape without moving the figures pose). If your really adventurous you can even do things like Ajax`s "Easypose" technology.
