To clarify for your pjz99 (sorry it took so long, I missed that part of your comment). The reason I did the whole OBJ export/import is simply to see if it would work.
Ideally I would like to fix a few things (in one of the plethora of 3D apps I own) before importing back into Poser. I didn’t want to waste time making those changes until I was completely sure I could actually import it and load it as a morph target.

Of course, you know the result (or lack thereof).

If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards...checkmate!
