Quote - Now, there's that little pesky morph dial stripping thing?

I came to this thread rather late, but better late than never, as they say. I use "Morph Manager 4" (MM4) when I want to strip all the morphs from a figure, but there is a trick you need to use to do it.

Fire up MM4, and load any pz2 file into one of the windows. Loading a pz2 forces MM4 to display a "More Options" button. Load your cr2 into the same window as the pz2, click the More Options button and select the "Delete all morph targets from file" option, then save the file back to disk.

When you save a file from MM4, it replaces tab stops with spaces, making the file size larger. To fix that, load the cr2 in Poser, and save it back to disk, Poser will reformat the spaces as tabs. The process is a bit long winded, but I think it is still faster that deleting the morphs by hand in CR2Editor or CR2Builder, and there is less opertunity to make a mistake.

The above process still leaves the valueParm channels in the BODY, so you still need to delete them, and the material blocks using a cr2 editor.
