PMX Morph To Poser Morph Dial.
-----------------------------------
Sometimes, the utterly obvious takes a bit longer to dawn. ( AKA, 'I'm getting [b][i]old[/i][/b]...')

I knew just enough about 'spawning morph targets' from within Poser to shun them.

Then ~0330 local, I woke, saying, 'mumble, mumble, Load external morph target ??'

Quick hunt found, http://www.posersoftware.com/documentation/12/Poser_Reference_Manual/Tools/Modifying/Creating_Morphs_in_Other_Applications.htm#h

Yes. I could use my PMX-ported door as the base, the wide-morphed version as Poser's morph target.

Couple of 'gotchas':
Remember PMX Editor mirrors OBJ at export.
Loading morph target's menu lurks under 'Object', between 'figure' and 'display'.
There's no Poser [b][i]import [/i][/b]scaling option for the morph [b][i]target[/i][/b], so you must export both door and target from PMX Editor at same scale.

Here, Poser wanted ~3.5% original scale, so I set PMX Editor export scale as 0.035, loaded the door at 100% original...

And there's a morph dial to swing the door !!

Is there an easy way to set morph limits ?? Yes !! Click on arrow to right of dial's 'value', settings, set min-limit 0, max-limit eg 1.5.
Who'd have thought ??
