copy d-forms

j_stnk

hello,

i saw a tut on copying parameters of one deform on the left side to a new d-form for the right. i morphed the left eye lid now i want to copy it to the right eye. i tried remembering to change the X axis to the right but not the same.

See image for left side parameters

If you simply select the dform and copy/paste, it doesn't seem to retain the connection to the object. Therefore you need to create a new dform, then copy/paste the parameters from the old dform field and handle over to the new dform field and handle, then make your adjustments (switching to a -x for example)

It's so frustrating when questions go unanswered for so long, especially when I was also looking for the answer.  In case the next person searches and finds this thread, here's some good news:

While I didn't figure out how to duplicate a dformer itself, it can be copied without duplication:  Spawn a morph from it.

Open the DForm Tab (Window > Panes), select the figure/object the dformer is connected to, then click Spawn Morph.  Now you create a dial with the morph (set to 0%).  You can now move/adjust the dformer as needed and spawn yet another morph.  Every time you spawn a morph, you create a new dial for that morph and can apply them as desired. 

Hope this helps someone!
