Momodot,
Pardon my intrusion as I haven't tried Morph Designer. I thought you might be interested in a new product called Hexagon, by Eovia, for making morph targets (and alot more). Hexagon is supposed to "play well" with Poser. One of the beta testers was a Poser content creator (including figure morphs), and he had great things to say about it. I haven't tried it for making morph targets, but it does load poser exports in native units, and you can actually see and use the imported figures (just bought it last Friday). I have tested it for making clothing/props for Poser, and I'm very happy with the results.
You can download a free 30 day, uncrippled version from the web site to give it a test run. Unfortunately the new release special is off, but there is still a discount available until June 30th.
I've tried amorphium, and although it is supposed to be easy to use, I found it hard to control, and not very intuitive. I've tried wings a couple of times, but it never felt right. The only software I ever felt really comfortable with is Cinema 4D, but upgrading to the current version, which has some tools I really would like, is beyond the resouces in my pocketbook.
Hexagon has almost everything I like in the modeling found in C4D (9x), but can't afford. I was able to start using Hexagon right after installing it. I'm working through the pdf manual right now (which has imbeded video clips - great stuff). Even though I could do basic stuff immediately, there are some real time savers that make reading the manual a big plus. It's also fun to use (not something I thought I would ever say about a 3d modeling program).
Good luck in your quest to find useable software to make morph targets Poser!
