Thanks for the reply Steve.  Unfortunately I don't think your reply to #2 will help me.  I don't think maya has magnets or brushes, (it may have the same deformers with a different name, I'm not sure, I've never touched C4D).  I know that there are ways to make organics from polygons, but making morphs specifically for existing poser figures means you aren't going to have the luxury of converting to/from nurbs or subDs, or even adding/subtracting geometry, so my question was geared more toward working within these limits.
