Here’s how to quickly load Michael 4<\/a> (M4) with his morphs in Poser, avoiding a half-hour of “where the heck is it!” searching:<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> First, install M4. Then ‘initialise’ M4 so that he can accept his vital set of Morphs++<\/a> morphs. Do this by running DzCreateExPFiles-M4.BAT and DzCreateExPFiles-M4Gens.BAT files which are both found on your hard-drive in your DAZ content directory, likely to be in: ..\\Studio\\content\\Runtime\\Libraries\\!DAZ Just double-click on each of these Windows .BAT files. <\/p>\n

The .BAT files only need to be run the first time<\/strong> you ever install and use M4. After that you don’t need to touch the .BAT again, until you get a new PC or re-install Windows. (I have no idea what Apple Mac users do, as .BAT is a Windows format. I assume Mac users have an AppleScript or something like that?)<\/p>\n

Poser’s Library can show more than one runtime. Make sure you have the one containing the M4 selected. Also be sure you don’t for some strange reason have two<\/em> ..\\Runtime\\Libraries\\!DAZ\\Micheal 4<\/em> folders.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> In Poser’s Library, then find your installed base M4 character at – Library | Figures | DAZ People | Micheal 4. Load him to the stage\/scene.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> The M4 Morphs++ are found at – Library | Poses | DAZ’s Michael 4 | Morph Injections | and then look for the INJ Morphs++ M4<\/strong> icon. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Select M4’s full Body on the stage, then double-click INJ Morphs++ M4 to inject the morphs. Alternatively you can go to ..\\Runtime\\Libraries\\!DAZ and run the .BAT there as DzCreateExPFiles-M4 file.”<\/p>\n

Give it a couple of minutes to work. There’s no confirmation that the new dials loaded. But they are there. You may need to select a body part<\/strong> to see them. <\/p>\n

You may also want to run the DzCreateExPFiles-M4Gens.bat<\/em> file which looks like it erm… ‘handles’ the naughty bits, separately.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> Now randomly select almost any M4 body part<\/strong> and look down at the Parameters dials panel. Under Morphs | Shapes you should now have lots of new Morphs ++<\/strong> dials for total control of M4. The injection of the Morphs++ worked. <\/p>\n

Morphs++ is required by a good number of cool character presets, which in your runtime are usually labelled INJ BODY or INJ HEAD or similar. A youth (middle teens) body morph, for instance, is free at Renderosity as Connor for M4<\/a> (in Library: Pose | REC Connor M4).<\/p>\n

And of course the Morphs++ dials can still be useful for manual tweaking. Here are the full-body ones…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Now save the Poser scene file with your fully morphed-up M4, so that you can quick-start making an M4-based character in future. You probably want to get away from the bland default M4 face as fast as possible, and there are many character heads available.<\/p>\n

You may also want the M4 Magnet Fits<\/a> which injects morphs in clothing, for fine fitting of too-puffy shoulders and suchlike.<\/p>\n

The loading process is much the same for V4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
