Updated - mcjPlateOneHole - versatile morphing DS/Poser mechanical prop
the mcjPlateOneHole
right there -----> https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts4/mcjplateonehole
round, or square, or oval plate with a round or square or oval hole
Note that once the prop was morphed to satisfaction,
i did use mcjBoxUV http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/36930/
to re-lay the UV map and obtain such an un-stretched result
i applied the free bump map .... mcjNeoprene1k http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/46444/
and tiled it 40x20
( actually i had to use bizarre bump map values to invert the bumps : min=0.02 max=0 )
fig 3 is the (DS3 ) subD

Fig 1 - the 4 main Corners / AwayX and Corners/AwayZ morph-groups
Fig 2 - adding the Corners, Radius morph-groups
Fig 3 - adding the Corners / Sharp morph-groups
Fig 4 oops actually there were 5 slider-tweak if you add the PipeSharp and PlateSharp morph-groupings
Fig 5 The "Levels" morph groupings, only 2 levels so ...
And finally the "Sides" morph-groupings
4 sides : left, back, right, front
2 morphs : AwayX, AwayZ
Top and Bot
Plate and Pipe(Hole)
so, 32 channels
===========
still have to do:
- reassign a materials a tad better
- re-UV?
- rename materials
- rename morphs that use "pipe" with "hole"
- create google site
- package
- publish
...under an hour left :)
------
Figure 2 ... yep it can also be a thick or thin, sharp or blunt-edged pipe !
Figure 3 ... and even a squary pipe with round or sharp corners
Figure 5 - the "Expanders" morph-groupings actually marshal up to 24 morphs at once
( 8 corners , the Radius, AwayX and AwayZ morphs )
the result is what you'd expect a "radius" morph to do
so that's the basic mcjPlaneOneHole
32 sides, 8-steps-edges give it a smooth appearance even when seen up close
1152 facets ( ( 4 x 8 + 4 ) x 32 )
since i use automated tools to build morphs and morph-groupings
i should be able to include a few other versions !
say
32x4, 32x2, 16x8, 16x4, 16x2,
so if your scene uses 100 mcjPlaneOnePipe as simple small washers
you'll be able to keep the polycount at 19200 instead of 115200

hmm i guess all that's left to do is make sure the materials are ok
and change the mentions of "pipe" for "hole"
see? earrings
the superb hair comes from http://swam3d.com/audry-hair/
tis ready

( though now i remember i vaguely promised i'd post alternate polygon-count versions .... later )
Warning - Warning - Warning - Warning -
impending update
the "Sharp" morphs are apparently not functioning correctly
though it has interesting side effects
( the tub shape is the upcoming mcjGear prop a toothless gear in this case )
update - update - update - update - update - update - update - update - update
The "Sharp" morphs have been corrected
( the maths for sharpening an external edge and sharpening a hole edge are different and i somehow inverted them )
