*"So.... What does a Spanki-n-Cage python newbie need to do to get started with Spanki-n-Cage morph transfer madness? 8)~~~ ...and does it work on a Mac? oO"
*It uses Tkinter, so whether it's Mac compatible or not really depends on whether Tkinter is working with the Mac now. I seem to recall that there have been problems with that. Perhaps that's been solved with Poser 7 and a new PoserPython version? I really don't know. It needs to be tested, I suppose, but I don't have a Mac handy....
Getting started. You need the script, of course. It might help to read some of the thread about the script. The idea is to line up the source and target actors in the 3D view, select them in the appropriate listboxes, run the script, and go get coffee or something while it runs. It creates a mesh correlation datafile, so the slow part, the mesh comparisons, only needs to be run once.
The problem is that most meshes don't line up very well without some work. Some actors may require rotation, translation, morphing, or magnets or other deformation in order to get a decent correlation run out of the script.
I'll try to answer any questions, but I'd rather not hijack someone else's thread to do it. :) Anyone should feel free to IM me or post to the script thread with questions or comments.

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.
