heya I've got an interesting question....using morphmanager...I replaced a human head with the cat's head, I re-uvmapped it, but that's all, it's still got the cat geometries, and will load cat morph targets. However, when I load a morph target it appears a little bit too far forward I tried carrying the morphs across using morph-manager instead of loading each one in poser...now here's the problem...morph manager lists ll the body parts from the top down in some sort of order, then copies the morph across to it's matching body part on the other list. because the cat and human have different body parts the morphs don't match up, so it tries to copy the morph from the cats head to the humans rthumb is there any way to rearrange this order to make the heads match up?

You would have to move each cat morph image so it matches the position of the head of the cat-headed human. In the CR2 file each morph is stored as a list of "deltas", which is a list of "n x y z" each saying that when that morph's parameter dial is at 1.000, the n'th vertex in that body part (not the n'th in the whole model) must move by x y z. If you merely want to take the cat's existing head morphs to the cat-headed human, if you know what you are doind, copy all these listys of deltas over from the cat's`.CR2 to the cat-headed human's .CR2 with a text editor. In TEXT mode, don't save it in Word for Windows or whatever mode!!!! As long as your model's cat-head is the same size and attitude as in the cat. If your model's cat-head is bigger but in the same attitude, you would have to move each parameter dial more for the same effect. - What are you making? The Egyptian goddess Basht, or what?

the cats head is the same exactly (I think) but I moved the cat to get it in that position, so the angle and stuff is different, but I assumed that that's only in relation to the rest of the body so the morphs wouldn't care I'm making a variation on the skaven thing, I thought if I made it a cat-head and let it take cat head morphs then it would be more versatile overall instead of one skaven model Really it's more a learning experience for me than to do anything truly useful =) thanks, I'll try copying the morphs by hand =) fingers crossed SewerRat

I copied the morphs by hand and it worked like a charm (barring the small problem of opening large text files with wordpad) thanks man =) SewerRat
