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
