Just for closure, I've tested the restoration poses with welds, and it works without trouble.  Moreover, I can't seem to duplicate the "geometry cache" bug that I encountered earlier.  So far the process looks effective and seems to be without errors, at least in Poser 5.

Here's an example restoration pose.

{

version
 {
 number 5
 }
figureResFile :Runtime:Geometries:ZygotePeople:blMilWom.obj
actor rButtock
 {
 storageOffset 0 0 0
 geomHandlerGeom 13 rButtock
 }
actor lButtock
 {
 storageOffset 0 0 0
 geomHandlerGeom 13 lButtock
 }

actor hip
 {

 }

actor rButtock
 {

 }

actor lButtock
 {

 }

figure
 {
 weld    rButtock
 hip
 weld    lButtock
 hip
 }
}

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.
