Yes i still remember that, and I still can't thank Barzing enough for all the efforts he made with that.

It surely was the best he could do at that time, and he explained a lot why it didn't work as expected in the thread mentioned.

I asked some of the Python gurus for help, but unfortunately none of them ever replied, and I myself am far from being such a guru...

What we need in fact is a (simple?) script that parses the source figure for morphs that are not yet in the target figure, and only copies those morphs and their dials and dependencies into the target figure!

Parse targetFigure for morphs()
Parse sourceFigure for morphs()
if morph_xyz(sourceFigure) NOT in targetFigure:
     createMorph(targetFigure)
 

(at least that's how I would do it IF I had the skills).

Any Python experts here?

Hi operaguy, I remember trying something like that years ago when I wanted to transfer one of my custom characters over to the new WM V4 and it didn't work. Back then I also thought doing the pose-click would move over the character to a compatible figure. It didn't, not entirely.

I can't remember the details any more, but I think some dial settings did get transferred but not any of the custom stuff that I did using the morph brush and also I had used Lightwave to make various morph target OBJs that I had loaded into my original figure. Those OBJs were now scattered, so I wouldn't be able to find them again to load them into the morph targets of the V4-WM figure, nor did I really know how I would transfer over the many morph brushed changes over to V4-WM.

The good thing is that Barzing did create a script to help automate some of the process to transfer morph deltas from V4 over to Sasha... I was hoping he would someday make some updates to that script (e.g. Barzing's script only copies and pastes morphs but not the magnets, so things like boobs that use magnets to help shape them don't come out right).

The Wardrobe Wizard script in Poser does do magnets, but Barzing commented on why he thinks it's not a great script for porting over characters in this thread:
https://forum.smithmicro.com/topic/2805/...orphs-deltas/34
e.g. do not work with SASHA-16, V4 with perfect legs, V4 with pretty legs

So sadly there's no easy way right now to fully port a V4 character automatically without some manual readjustment and tweaking. It's still laborious, especially if you have a lot of V4 characters that you'd like to move over to S16. Maybe Barzing will resume work on that script again if S16 or even LF start taking off and more users want to bring their characters to the newer figures.

Ha!

Yes that's absolutely IT, now the pose is really perfect.
And the render sports many of SASHA's bendings in a perfect way (feet, shins, thighs, collars, neck/head)!

You should definitely add this to your Rendo gallery!
If possible make it crystal clear that this is a "raw" render without ANY postwork, and also NO FIXES whatever applied.

Thank you so much for this!

Fine by me!

I just looked at the renders and upvoted them as well as replying to a comment on your former post with the b/w "folding knife" pose, adding a bit of advertising
