Try this... just a quick try at a morphing prop so you can see what can be done. I haven't smart propped it, but it should be in about the right place. I used UVmapper to convert your groups into material zones, then with Compose I split the mesh by material, scaled and translated the sphere, and recombined it. A bit of jiggling about in Poser, there it was. No modelling program was involved. :D
