@MikeJ,

Q: Aren't the PMD files the external binary morphs?

A: Yes.

Q: Need any special programs for that?

A: No, but there is a binary morph editor at Dimension 3D, which I think would be a very useful tool, I'll buy it if I ever have some money.

Q: Where does one learn how to do these PMD injections?

A: The basics are at Nerd3D at this link "Poser 6 PMD Injection".

I'm doing a slight variation on Nerd's method. I store the PMD file outside of the Pose folder, in a dedicated "!PMD" folder. There is a pose file under the Pose folder that calls the PMD file with a line like this:

    injectPMDFileMorphs :Runtime:libraries:!PMD:Antonia:Les:NewFace-d-LB.pmd

The idea behind doing it this way is that I (or an end user) can move the pose file to a different folder, without having to worry about moving the PMD file.

However I seem to have stumbled on a glitch in PMD injection, at least in P6. When you use PMD injection to load a new channel, the channel is added at the bottom of the channel stack, this seems to cause a problem when the morph falls on a bend zone. See "PMD/JCM problem" for more details. For an example of PMD injection see the "NewFace-d-LB.zip" at the Antonia Developers site.

One point to note is that when you make the PMD file in Poser, all morph channels that contain deltas will be included in the PMD, so you really need to start with a BLANK cr2, or export your morph(s) as OBJ, then import it into a BLANK cr2, before making the PMD.
