nselect UNIVERSE and then all items and bodyparts in the scene will be unselected now select just the head (it would be a good idea go back to this point after saving the head and do it again selecting one by one all body parts but the fingers and the eyes, or maybe you want to include them in a full body morph but usually they are not used) press click on Ok

Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
Here select "Include body part names in poligon groups" and "As morph target (no world transformation)" the first option is very important mainly in full body morphs, finished in Poser lets go back to Blender

Go to File/Import/Wavefront(.obj)...

Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
Navegate to the directory where you saved your head obj, select it then click on Import a Wavefront OBJ

Unselect everything but Morph Target and change Clamp Scale to 0 (zero) click on OK

Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
As you can see the head is too much small to work with it, so lets see how to navegate in Blender 3D space: <br /> let's see the basics needed (allways with the pointer inside the 3D window: <br /> ZOOM: Spin the midle wheel to zoom in and out (or hold CTRL key hold Midle mouse button (MMB) and mope up and down) <br /> ROTATE: Hold MMB and drag arround. <br /> PAN: Hold Shift hold MMB and drag.

Using this controls get as closer as posible to the face, for a more confortable view go to view in the 3D view options select view properties... change the Lens: to 120 and close this small window; now this would be a good idea to save this scene for further uses, just go to file/Save as... (or press F2 key) and save this scene.

Select the head in the Outliner tree, if it does not select, just select the lamp and then the head (this is a bug of the last version I think) go to the mode menu and select Sculpt Mode) click on Set smooth in the Link & Materials Panel to see the head in smooth form
rayera [ Sunday, 29 April 2007, 06:08 PM ]
Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
Click in the Sculpt Panel and now we are ready to Morph!
rayera [ Sunday, 29 April 2007, 06:12 PM ]
Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
I won't say what is self explained in the sculpt panel, just keep the pointer some second over a button and you'll get a short and clear help, just some tips: in most cases you'll want to work with symmetry on on the X axis and disable the Transform manipulator.

Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
Once your morph is finished then let's save it: go to File/Export/Wavefront(obj)...
rayera [ Sunday, 29 April 2007, 06:15 PM ]
Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
Save it to a forlder you will remembler, give it a name and click in Export Wavefront OBJ
rayera [ Sunday, 29 April 2007, 06:16 PM ]
Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
In the options unselect everything but "Selection Only", "Rotate X90" and "Morph Target" and then OK, Finished in Blender lets go back to poser
rayera [ Sunday, 29 April 2007, 06:18 PM ]
Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
Back in Poser I will aply the morph to Nea, because is a Posette based character, load her, select the head and go to the Properties Tab in the Parameter window and select Add Morph Targets
rayera [ Sunday, 29 April 2007, 06:19 PM ]
Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
Use the locate button to search for you saved Blender morph, in Label give the name of your morph then click OK
rayera [ Sunday, 29 April 2007, 06:20 PM ]
Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
Now your morph have a dial in the head parameters, just tourn it to 1 and there you have your own custom morph <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" />
rayera [ Sunday, 29 April 2007, 06:23 PM ]
Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
Add Some texture a nice skin shading and render, remember that Posette likes a lot the Smooth Poligons options in the render options <br /> <br /> Please give it a try, it deserve it, and ask any question you have I'll try to help. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" alt="" />

Good work Andreas <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" /> ! <br /> <br /> btw, have you changed something in your signature's logo ? I can't see it but a "no thumbnail" picture that PF put there. I checked the file directly on your site and it's working <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" />

Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
Blender is a real nice program, but I need a lot more practice ... <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> About my signature, it works for me, but I remember having had the effect you're describing some weeks ago <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" /> <br /> Maybe the board gets a time out from time to time because my little place <a class="post-url" href="http://www.ahjah.de" target="_blank">http://www.ahjah.de</a> don't have much traffic. <br /> So DNS resolving can take a little longer from the USA to my place in Germany (am I right, Posetteforever is hosted on an US server?)

Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
Yes it is, I think you're right, even if I'm not sure if the final user download the picture from your site or from Posetteforever, in the last case the one having the problem it's me but I can download it from your site, it looks to me as an anti-leeching thing, we'll see what will happen in the next days <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> (and as usual we're derailing from the topic <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/icon_redface.gif" alt="" /> )...
ahjah [ Monday, 07 May 2007, 08:12 PM ]
Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
I just had the "No Thumbnail" thumbnail (?), too... <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_shifty.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" /> <br /> There should not be any anti leeching on my place. It's no free space, I'm paying for it. <br /> I don't think this is the problem, because in this case direct typing into the browser's adress bar wouldn't work, too. But this works fine...

Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
Hi all, hi rayera! <br /> I have upgraded to blender 2.44 and to Python 2.5. <br /> Morphing a single bodypart, as i.e. the head works amazing. <br /> The sculpting tools work fast and clean and are matching exactly my needs. Your tutorial is a big help. <br /> But now I'm stuck. How can I import and export a whole figure obj without loosing the grouping? <br /> I've tried several combinations in the import/export options, but none of them work <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <br /> I need a second tutorial for creating whole body morphs, rayera <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_pray.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_pray.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_pray.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" alt="" />

Post subject: Re: Head Morphs in Blender
Thanks ahjah, that was my intention, now I'll work in the full body tutorial, the problem is that I want to post some script with the tutorial and I'm not shure if I can, I e-mailed the autor and I'm waiting an answer, but anyway if I don't get an aswer I'll look for another way to do the same as easy as posible; as you can see I'm good looking for techniques and way of doing things but not the things itself, the true is I'm not that good doing morphs that's why I really like to share what I found out with people that use it in such a great way <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" />

<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" alt="" /> I began to use blender thanks to your tutorial rayera <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/notworthy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/notworthy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/notworthy.gif" alt="" /> , you saved me tons of time <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_dance.gif" alt="" /> . It's very powerful, in the last period I was using the morphing toll of Poser but this is better. I started correcting some things in Posy's head morph, expecially in the lips area and in her particular eyebrows, I made them more consistent, the last phase in the eyebrows will be the use of the displacements maps even if I don't make picture with close up so this can be a good result <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> So I show you three pictures , the first one is Posy 3/4 view with some hair that I like, the other ones is front and side view. I'll have to work a little on the eyes but however ... <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" /> <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/heartbeat.gif" alt="" />
