Umm... delays, delays. I'm fighting with the bounding box/octree implementation. Something isn't quite right, at the moment, and the current state of things is not an improvement - so a WIP update must wait.... I think my vertex indices are getting crossed somewhere, but it's a bit puzzling. Some tests have worked out fine, but some are not so good. Hmm.
Hypothetically the script could work with V4. I've been testing with V1 and V3, with some success, but I also tested V1 to Posette and the V1 catsuit to the Judy catsuit. These tests generally worked, but I suspect that the closer the meshes are to being lined up nicely by default, the better the results will be. And this is still verrrrry sloowwwww. Processing the V3 head takes about 20 minutes. So far the octree hasn't really helped that. Processing V4 is an idea that frightens me. But once you had a datafile for the transfer, subsequent conversions would be faster. I don't have V4, so I can't even try to test V3 to V4. The version I posted above should be able to be tested with those figures, however.
Hopefully I can figure out the bounding box problems tomorrow and post something. Sorry for the delay. My poor math-retarded brain is struggling along as fast as possible. :)
