Edit ERC Parameters?

I'm going through a tutorial on how to create a custom slider for a specific pose by using ERC Freeze. However, now that I created it, I want to change the min and max values of the other pose dials that are in my custom slider to be altered slightly so I can adjust the pose when I set it at -100% and 100% on my custom slider. Is there a way to change the other settings in the custom pose slider or do I have to delete it and start over whith the adjusted pose settings?

    You can, via right-click, Bake ERC to get it back to it's unfrozen state then edit it. You can also find it in the Property Hierarchy, again right-click in Edit Mode, and edit its attributes directly there.

    Um, my property heirarchy is completely blank... even though the ERC does still seem to exist.

    When i rotate x(bend) the figure, the corresponding pJCM morph of the clothing is activated so the ERC link is definitely still there. But the parameters dont show up.

    Is something wrong?

    Is that the clothing? Depending on the way it is set to follow the figure it may not have its own ERC chains, the JCM's value will be picked up from the base figure.

    It is clothing.  I loaded my own pJCMs to the clothing to overrite the existing ones (via morph loader pro).   I assumed that over writing the ones transferred to the clothing from the figure would make them a property of the clothing, and hence show up in property heirarchy.

    Edit: I just tested ERC freeze with a "Loosen" morph i made - i linked it to the X-rotate of the thigh and it shows up in Property Heirarchy.  So Property Heirarchy is clearly showing some morphs.

    But none of my edited pJCMs show up.  Confused.

    Also, is there any way to not have Daz Studio crash every time i try to set up controllers in the property heirarchy.

    Any time i try to either drag a morph into 1st stage controller or set them up under 'attenuate by' in ERC Freeze, Daz crashes.  I have tried upwards of 10 times now....

    Are you saying the morphs don't show at all, or that they don't show in the links?

  • lilweeplilweep Posts: 2,561

    Sorry, yes the pJCMs and edited pJCMS are visible as morphs under Parameters, but their properties dont show up.

    Should their properties show up? Maybe im assuming content should show up here when in reality im operating on a false assumption.  I just wanted to look at how the pJCM for thigh bend was keyed

    Anyway, this whole series of questions started because i wanted to make in-between keyed pJCMs that started between the one at thigh bend 57 and the one at 115.  E.g., i wanted to make additional pJCMs at thigh bend = 70 and 90.

    So the following situation would occur: pJCM at 57 would stop at 57, then the 70 one would activate between 57-70, then the 90 one would activate between 70-90, then the 115 one would only activate between 90 and 115.

    But i cant edit the keys for the 115 one... since its not in property heirarchy.

    I believe that the clothing just follows the values of the JCM morphs on the base figure, depending on the follower behaviour set, so it doesn't need its own ERC links - at least up to the point that you want to customise the ERC behaviour.

    Fair enough. I will just layer keyed JCMs over the top of the pJCMs rather than changing them then.
