I think it's the    stripzero.py,  and / or spawncharacter.py

Either way, it sounds complicated.

 

The stripzero script is dead simple. Select a figure, run the script. You can usually reduce the size by about 80%. (If you hack the exclusion files, you can usually reduce it even further.) For my purposes, this is sufficient -- I don't need to slim things down the extra 10% by consolidating morphs etc. The one "gotcha" to look out for is that it will also strip morphs off of props (such as hair) which are parented to the figure.

For cr2s, I like to have all the morphs, in fact, I usually have, for figures I use often, all sorts of muscle adjustment morphs (like "flex biceps") -- I'm not worried about the disk space, just the memory usage when rendering.

In summary, i find "stripzero" sufficently effective that I've not bothered going into the arcana of further size minimization.
