The final result, yes I know, it's not a good morph, but it's not that bad at all <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
Some recomendations:
<br />
The procedure looks tedious and long, but once you do it twice you will do it very fast, anyway the procedure
<br />
is by far better than the old procedure of loadinging every morph target body part by body part, the procedure
<br />
of joining vertices to create a single mesh is not needed just for Blender, you need to to the same to use
<br />
the smooth tool in Zbrush as well, a good idea is to work metodically, Creating several morph in Blender,
<br />
doing the UVmapper procedure for all this morphs then the Compose part, then the Poser part, it's a fast
<br />
way of working, allway have a copy of the original Poser exported obj, the joinned obj and the map in the same
<br />
folder as the morphs for easy browsing, I'm shure you can see some steps are not needed with characters thant
<br />
doesn't have any kind of alternate geometry, most of female, but P6 Jessy have one.

Thanks people. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" alt="" />
<br />
It is very important that you download Composer as soon as posible, I tryed to contact the author to directly post it here
<br />
but I didn't get an answer and it's an old aplicantion, but very usefull, and the place where it used to be is next to be closed

Great tutorial rayera. I'm having a problem with the export though. For export you said to have Selection Only, UVs, Rotate X90 and Morph Target. I downloaded the new version of blender and I can't find the Morph Target option for when I need to do my export. Any help you could give me would be great.

Marv, I used Blender 2.48a for this screen capture, is this what you are looking for?
Marv [ Wednesday, 26 November 2008, 03:15 AM ]
Post subject: Re: [Tutorial] Full Body Morphs In Blender
That IS the option that I am looking for in Blender 2.48a, which I found in Blender 2.46. In Blender 2.48a that I downloaded today doesn't even give me the same menu as what you are showing here. So if you and I are using the same version then the only thing I can think of is that there must be a step or two that I missed somewhere.

Here is what I get when I want to export the obj file.

Post subject: Re: [Tutorial] Full Body Morphs in Blender
Marv, I think I've found the problem, I have different options because when I install a new Blender release I never remove the application data located in document and setings, I uninstalled everything and removed all directories and reinstalled Blender 2.48a and now I have the same options as you <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" />
<br />
I did a test morph and the option "morph target" now is "Keep Vert Order" just put your pointer over it and wait some seconds and read the help <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" />
<br />
The morph I did worked perfectly, please try and comment how did it work for you.
<br />
<br />
Hope I've been helpful, and happy morphing <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_dance.gif" alt="" />

Post subject: Re: [Tutorial] Full Body Morphs In Blender
Thanks Rayera for the help. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/ayeah.gif" alt="" />
<br />
It works and I was able to create a morph <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
Now that I know how the buttons are set up it works. And I found out why the head shifted off the body and dropped to the floor. I was inadvertantly moving the head object when I was doing my morphing so when I exported it the head wasn't in it's proper position. So how do I move the camera angles around so I can get closeup to work on an object without physically moving the object like I have been?

Post subject: Re: [Tutorial] Full Body Morphs in Blender
I'm happy you solved your problem <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" />
<br />
Now loot at this tutorial to know how to configure the interface for better navigating in blender 3D space,
<br />
<br />
<a class="post-url" href="http://www.posetteforever.com/discussion2753.html">http://www.posetteforever.com/discussion2753.html</a>
<br />
<br />
and look for the 26.jpg and 25.jpg parts (they are in the page 2) for how to move in 3d space and how to get the best view.
<br />
Please ask if you have any doubt, I'm sure we all want to see your morphs <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
Just a tip, once in sculpt mode you can change the brush size very fast pressing the F key

Thank you so much for all of your help rayera. I'll be doing some morphing here in a few days or so and will be sure to post my results.
<br />
<br />
Wings 3D has been good for me when I'm doing props and will continue using it for that purpose. Blender is proving to be extremely useful for morph work and I am enjoying using it very much. I have tried using Morph putty with some success and a friend of mine let me try out Argile which is rather easy to use as well. Overall I think I gotta give it to Blender. Have you tried Morph Putty and/or Argile?

Post subject: Re: [Tutorial] Full Body Morphs in Blender
Happy you are on it now! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" />
<br />
I used Wings 3D before Blender to do some modeling, but now I'm hooked to Blender, I promised a tutorial about basic modeling props and/or dynamics,
<br />
but I have some problems with new features of blender (I think at the end will do the tutorial in the old way <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" /> )
<br />
I think I tried morph putty some time ago, but I think it works using existing morphs in the character :mmmh:, I use sometime Poser sculpt tool
<br />
for a fast and easy morph, works fine, never tried Argile, I have Zbrush, but will not upgrade to new versions any more,
<br />
since for me Blender (a free software) have the functions I use.

I added my first FMB to the freebies. Have a look and let me know what you think.

Extract the content of the MorphsUtilities.zip to your poser instalation directory, I'll do it in Poser 5

but works on Poser 6 and 7 as well.</div></blockquote>

MorphUtiities.zip is in neither of these files, where do you get it?

For some reason, the first 6 times i looked at this page, a lot of info was missing, and now, suddenly, Boom it's all there. Didn't mean to be a jerk, but i just didn't see the info... <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/dash2.gif" alt="" /> been trying to figure out how to move stuff to blender for a while now...
<br />
<br />
Anyway. Thanks for the tutorial.

No problem. Just take a look at the top of the page and hit the first one and go from there. A lot of people are using blender. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" /> Except myself. I use 3DS Max. It does what I need it to do. But blender is free and a great modeler. Welcome to the site and no you are not being a jerk. We are a friendly place and like to help. So feel free to take a look around. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Hi WBGrock <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/JC_howdy.gif" alt="" /> and welcome <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/viannen_01.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
You can even try to contact Rayera, he comes back from time to time and he should be still interested in blender <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
The missing info on the first post: maybe you were not logged in, some info (for example the links) can not be seen if you're not logged in.
