Product for body posing for Genesis 2 Female?

Hello!

 

I know that there's the Body Morphs products which change the shape of the Genesis 2 Female body.

But that's not what I want. I also don't need static poses.

Instead, I'm looking for a product that would offer more "expression" like for example the "Genesis 2 Female: Arms Front-Back" slider (CTRLArmsFrntBck.dsf).

What should this type of "morph" be called? A posing slider?

Also, could somebody suggest a product that would offer me more of these "morphs"?

 

Thank you very much!

    What are you trying to do?

    I'm wondering if you're confused over what morphs do; what poses do and helper morphs do.

    I was in a situation where I had a nice gun aiming animation, and I wanted to have the shoulders lifted / shrugged a bit.

    That's when I noticed that I would need such a thing.

    Try PowerPose: Window > Panes (Tabs) > PowerPose

    What Taoz said.

    lifting the shoulder would be easy; presuming you want to maintain the hand and gun pose position whilst that is occuring, well that would take some work; you would use poses and not morphs.

    Think of morphs as permanent changes to the character shape (exceptions being when an arm bends for example and a muscle flexes), where as a pose just changes position of the character.

    In real life, posing we do all the time (sitting, standing, walking, cart-wheels etc); morphs, well dieting sucks. :D

    I never tried PowerPose before, it's nice.

    However, I would need to have the hand and gun position preserved. 

    I only know static Poses. Are there any other "Poses" that I might use for my case?

    You can try the Translate tool with IK enabled, pinning the joints you want to lock. In this case probably:

    Abdomen 2
    Chest
    L/R Shoulder
    L/R Forearm

    But it can be tricky and not always possible to make it do exactly what you want. Se video:
