Pose Space Deformation

Hi all :)

Sorry if this has already been asked but ... Is there a way to achieve pose space deformation in daz studio? I mean, to control a morph with more than one joint ?

In the ERC type there's just the delta add than can be used (i don't see how the multiply and the divide work), and i need to control a morph with at least 2 rotations of the joint.

To illustrate that with a simple example:

rotation 1 = 0 and rotation 2 = 0, then morph = 0
rotation 1 = 100 and rotation 2 = 0, then morph = 0
rotation 1 = 0 and rotation 2 = 100, then morph = 0
rotation 1 = 100 and rotation 2 = 100, then morph = 1

For now I just add the 2 rotations in the controllers submenu, but that means that for instance in the second case above the morph will be equal to 0.5 (not really what i want lol)

So... Is there's a way to improve that ?

TIA :)

    This is in fact a case for using multiplication:

    morph = rotation 1 * rotation 2 * scale factor ( + offset if needed)

    Thx for your answer.

    I totally agree lol, and I've done that many times in poser editing the cr2 files.

    But how do I do that in daz studio? In the property editor, how do I choose the erc type (the "multiply" option i suppose), because I have tried it in all possible ways with the 2 morphs and I couldn't make it work...

    So if you could show me the way :)

    Cheers :)

    If you still have the Property Editor you are using a slightly older version of DS - as I recall if you highlight the ERC link and look at bottom-right you will see its settings and can then change the ERC type. In current versions of DS in the Property Hierarchy pane you drag the controller from the Parameters pane (in Edit mode, right-click to get there) onto the Property>Controllers>2nd Stage list, then expand it to edit the settings as needed.

    Ya, it works hehehe

    Guess I should have updated my version earlier, because the 4.5 one was a really nightmare lol

    Thanks again :)
