This tutorial continues from Using Poser Little Helper with DAZ Studio, Part 1

In this second tutorial we will learn how to create full body morphs with D|S, D-Form and Poser Little Helper.

Like in the anterior tutorial we'll start with a D-Form preset that I created in a previous session.

As you can see, this D-Former affects several parts of Michael body giving him a quite strange appearance. Now we'll proceed to export our morphed Michael as a OBJ file. This time we export the full body, so we don't have to hide any part.

Save it with a descriptive name, to avoid confusion.

When the export options dialog box appears, choose For Morph Loader (it's not strictly necessary, but it will save time with PLH).

Now you can close DAZ Studio and start PLH

First, you must setup the project, until it looks like more or less like this:

Once that we have set up the project, press Load and the Original and Morph buttons will appear.

Press Original and PLH will prompt you to load the Michael 3 file.

Now press Morph and load the morphed OBJ that we exported before.

Once that we have done this, we start with the complicated part. Do you'remember when in the previous tutorial I said that we were going to ignore the Delta Filter dial?.

Well, here is where this dial comes to play. The Delta Filter filters the parts where the vertexes have not been moved, reducing the size of the INJ file, and not adding a dial in the body parts that are not affected. Slid it all the way to the right.

Now press generate morph. After the program ends to compute the deltas, it should look like this.

This time is a Full Body Morph, so let the box checked…

… and put the name that you want there…

Now press Mark to Morph Name and hit Save Injection Files.

After you have saved this, hit Save Dial Visibility Files.

And finally hit Save Pose Files.

Done! Now you can use this Morph for M3 to create the alien or monster of your dreams (or your nightmares ;))
