heyas; you know how you can strip out a cr2 and put in your new morphs into it, and distribute that, and then people can use morph manager to insert the morphs into their figure files? okay, well, we need a universal utility that will do that sort of thing, but with... well, anything. so people can create donor files that can be infused into existing files. why? i have sitting here, in my poser libraries, some donor files that have slaving code for the p4 and millenium male and female fingers. they do things like curlindex, curlmid, curlring, curlpinky, curl1st2, curlmid2, curl2nd2, etc. like grasp dials, but more of them! now how can i easily distribute these things? i can't. i can't insert them into an m2 cr2 and distribute that, for obvious reasons. i could distribute the code snippets and let people insert them into their cr2's by hand (via text or cr2 editor). who wants to do that? a lot of people don't want to edit cr2 files; i don't blame ya. suppose you got twelve victoria characters, you want to do that for each of em? bleh! what if we want to do new joint setups for the millenium figures. basically, you can't. you can create the new cr2, but you have to strip the morphs out. and who wants to use the new joints if you can't use the morphs. well, i suppose you can use morph manager to cart them all over. what if i just want to insert one master control dial that lsaves the torso and arm geometry swaps to make it easy to geom-swap the shirt of the mcfs and such? wouldn't it be easier to just have the new dial entries and be able to infuse them into existing files? or am i nuts?? the utility would basically have to read and compare the two files, the donor cr2 (or pp2, etc) and the recipient. actually, it would work better/faster if it just read the parts in the donor and find the matching parts in the recipient. (ie: my new grasping suite would just have hand/finger parts for a smaller file.) then it would add/change anything that is new in the donor file, in the recipient. can it be done with python? heck if i know! i'm not a programmer!
