The reason the discussion went into C4D was becouse LMcLean indicated that they had C4D. But no you are right a high priced 3D suite is not required to make detailed morphs there are even free modelers which work just fine for morphing. And Yes Poser magnets work, and while it is possible to get very good results with Poser magnets, saying that it is the simplest way of making morphs is a bit of a stretch, it is extremely labor intensive to do any kind of fine detailed morphs with Poser magnets. while it is very easy to do so with a dedicated modeler, and there are certainly things that are very easy to do in a modeler that are extremely difficult if not impossible to do with Poser magnets. given the option if I had a modeler and poser to do my morphing I would always choose the modeler for that reason, particularly since there are applets like the Tool collection which actually make it a snap to import your morphs. Perhaps once upon a time it was easier to use magnets for morph creation but it really isn't anymore. I have hope that E-fronteers can get their morph brush that was introduced in Poser 7 working a little smoother, and than it will be more of a tossup but right now using that is like pulling teath compared to using a dedicated modeler. No the company Wavefront no longer exists, and I know the makers of MAYA treat the .obj format like a readheaded stepchild these days ;) but the formal name for the .obj format is still actually Wavefront Object.
