(To be used for reference for cap fixes if you need it). </div> </li> <li class="level3"><div class="li"> Next export out the cap with the child morph dialed on. (The child morph should still be scaled to 100 percent). </div> </li> <li class="level3"><div class="li"> (Note : If your cap uses subdivision - make sure that the cap mesh resolution is set to Base resolution, and subdivision set to 0). </div> </li> <li class="level3"><div class="li"> Import these items into your modeler, make your fix to the cap, and export out the cap morph using the same name as the auto generated morph in studio.</div> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li class="level1 node"><div class="li"> 2- Using Smoothing to Fix the Morph in Studio:</div> <ul> <li class="level3"><div class="li"> Export out the cap only (with the child morph on), and with smoothing set on the cap at the number that you feel it&#039;s fixed (double check that the smoothing is turned on before you export out your cap). This will be your new fixed cap morph. </div> </li> <li class="level3"><div class="li"> If your clothing item uses subdivision, set the mesh resolution to Base, and subdivision level to 0. </div> </li> <li class="level3"><div class="li"> Export out the cap morph using the same name as the auto generated morph in studio.</div> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> </div> <h3 id="step_3overwrite_the_deltas_only">Step 3: Overwrite the Deltas Only</h3> <div class="level3"> <p> <a href="/_detail/public/publishing/adjust_autogen_morphs/deltas_only.png?id=public%3Apublishing%3Aadjust_autogen_morphs%3Astart" class="media" target="_blank" title="public:publishing:adjust_autogen_morphs:deltas_only.png" rel="noopener"><img src="/_media/public/publishing/adjust_autogen_morphs/deltas_only.png?w=250&amp;tok=a01b44" class="mediaright" align="right" alt="" width="250" /></a> Using <strong>Morph Loader Pro</strong>, import in your fixed morph target, using the <strong>Overwrite Existing deltas only</strong> option.
