Thank you, kaweki.  I've been having trouble with the reply editor, myself.

I've thought about different approaches which might involve reading a .obj file directly.  I'm a bit puzzled, though.  Poser gives access to vertex normal data, doesn't it?  Would the method you're suggesting simply be faster than looping to query the normals for an actor using Poser's internal methods?

I think it might be easiest to use CreatePropFromGeom using the actor.Geometry(), then export that and re-import it.  Then I don't have to mess around with concerns about zeroing the figure and all its morphs.  I've been thinking about using that approach for a couple of things.

I have a feeling a lot of this is going to be trickier than I expect...  :scared:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
