*Please let me know if any problems crop up. I apologize for the lack of documentation and the complexity of the script overall. I don't seem to be able to keep things simple, and I haven't had time for any docs.
Here's a test of the new shape transfer used as an alternative method for morph transfer. This is the same Vicky 1 to Vicky 3 character morph which previously had trouble with the "long delta" lumpiness. As Spanki predicted, shape transfer flattens out the target verts along the corresponding polygon planes, leading to a flattening or "faceted" effect. But this actually helps in the case of the lumpy morphs, and the facets are easier to fix than the lumps. This image shows the shape-transferred morph after one run of laplace smoothing set for three passes. No more lumps, no facets. I'm happy.
But the lips and nostrils and eyebrows are proving to be a problem to correlate. Paging JoePublic! You've used the script features more than I have. Have you tried to correlate any head meshes using nostrils, inner mouth, or any of the material regions other than the skin surface? If so, have you developed any tricks?

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.
