Morph Targets in Poser 2004-07-28 - By Michael Houston ES-Box
Back
Susan,
Thanks for prodding me to try again - I took LThumb3 section from he Additional
Figures:Left Hand and lengthened the nail, re-imported it into Poser and it
WORKED!!. I didn't resize the object in tS because I think my trouble has been
accidentally moving the object in tS and not catching that I had.
Oh, Boy. I've been wanting to do this for some time - watch out world!

Michael,
The scale is very important. Right-click on the icon of the luuv plug-in and
check whether Autoscale is enabled or not. If it's enabled, then it means
that the mesh is going to be imported at a much greater size than the
original Poser object. So if you import your mesh with Autoscale on and then
export it and try to use it in Poser, it will be huge compared to the Poser
sizes. You can uncheck Autoscale before importing and try to work on the
mesh without manually scaling up the object first, but you'll have to zoom
in a lot, because it will be very small. That's why I suggested the manual
scaling up and down method. I've tried this and it worked for me.
If Autoscale is not enabled and you're still getting these strange results,
I don't really know what might be causing this. If you want, I can look at
your file and see if I can figure out something.

Thanks for all your replies. I seem to have written poorly - My question is
not how to get from Poser to trueSpace - that works ok.
Rather, I need to get from Poser to trueSpace and then back to Poser to
create a Morph Target for a Poser figure. I have tried Susan's method
(without the scaling in tS), but when I go to apply the morphs in Poser what
was supposed to look like longer fingernails looks like elephantitis. I
have used Carrara in the past to do this and in that program there are
options to make all transforms in local coordinates, but the LUUV plug-in
and tS do not seem to have those import/export options.
There's got to be a way to do this (or I picked the wrong week to stop
sniffing glue...). I would rather have tS on my system and let it do
everything than have to load another application just to do modeling for
Poser MTs.
Again, thanks for the help,
MMH
