Poser 8 Tutorial Manual
9. A new dial is added to the Parameters palette for the selected body part. Use this dial to morph the body part from its original shape to the morph target. A value of 0.0 for this dial is the original object. A value of 1.0 completely changes the body part to the morph target. A value of 0.5 is a hybrid halfway between the original object and the morph target. You can also use negative values to invert the vertices.
Morph Target Tutorial This tutorial assumes that you are familiar with 3D modeling applications, such as Shade, and that you are able to use such an application to edit geometries and save files in the Wavefront OBJ format.
name it “nosemorph.obj”.
In order to work as a morph target in Poser, the OBJ file you save must have the same vertex count and order as the geometry to which the morph target is supposed to be applied.
To add a Morph Target in Poser: 1. Launch Poser. 2. Display the Library palette, by clicking the handle on the right side of the screen.
To Prepare the Morph Target OBJ File: 1. Using your favorite 3D modeling application, open or generate a male human head mesh object. 2. Add a morph target to the tip of the nose. 3. Open the Poser > Runtime > Geometries directory, and create a folder called “TutorialMorph”. 4. Save the morph target file as an OBJ file, to the Poser > Runtime > Geometries > TutorialMorph folder, and
