Introduction
================================================================================
This will create constriction and bulge morphs on cylindrical shape like a thigh or an arm

History
================================================================================
May 4th 2019 : 6:35 AM - release V1
================================================================================
Installation
================================================================================
The zip package is found at the bottom of this page
unzip it in your daz content folder,
typically :
C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library
once installed, it will appear in your content library, under
The Daz Script will be found in My Library / Scripts / mcasual
Starting with Windows 7 if you right click on the downloaded zip file
and select the [Extract All ....] pop-up menu item
you simply browse up to your Daz Studio Content Folder
and the files will fall in the proper folder
The four TXT files are splines i created and saved during my tests
they are not of much use except to see what they look like
================================================================================
Use
================================================================================
select your target object followed by a cylinder
The target figure or object need to be zero-posed (rotations only)
The target object will receive a new morph
Specify the morph name using only letters and numbers to be on the safe side
The cylinder must contain all the target vertices that will participate in the morph
The cylinder must have been created with Y as its primary axis
The on-screen spline controls the radial expansion/contraction along the cylinder's Y axis
you can edit the spline, save it to disk or load a saved spline from disk
the first column contains displacements
and should contain values between -1 and 1
the second column contains locations along the cylinder's Y axis
so they range from 0, to 1 ( 0 to 100% )
note how the spline first point ( 0, 0 ) has displacement = 0 and Y = 0
and the last spline point ( 0, 1 ) also has a displacement of 0 and Y = 1
once you have the desired spline/curve and you sepcified a unique morph name
press the 'Do It' button and the morph will be created.
Note that during the morph construction, the figure is temporarily placed in non-subdivided resolution
because corrupt morphs could make your scene file un-loadable .... scary stuff
If your scene file is really precious you should make a backup before using any script that creates morphs
