*"IIRC, you started this thread/process off with the intention of transfering some morphs from V1 (?) to V3... I don't recall off-hand how similar thier face shapes are, but things are going to go badly if they are very much different."

*That's apparently a bit of a limitation with the present method, as well.  V3 to V1 actually works fairly well, although I haven't tested any complex morphs involving the ears, which don't line up - I don't have any V3 shaping morphs.  JoePublic has found some trouble transferring morphs between dissimilar heads, but found a workaround involving lining up the geometries so the mouths corresponded decently with one another.  This makes me wonder if some sort of 'marker' method could be used.  Place a box at the mouth, nose, ears, for both the source and the target, and correlate verts and polys within the corresponding boxes.  Maybe.  

I guess we'll see....  All of this probably deserves a smarter programer.  Then it would probably end up being a 'for sale' script somewhere, however.

Thank you again.  I hope to get things together to start testing these ideas, within the next few days.  I'm slowly groping toward both an understanding and a seemingly feasible structure.  Hopefully....  :)

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.
