o.k., thx fr the info, mark. you're an invaluable resource here IMVHO and I've told 'em as much. using the model element saves considerable time in regard to trying to import the reference geometry of the cr2 file. I suspected it would be like the old days with carrara and ray dream, where one would need to create poser-style morphs from the reference geometry file. however, if ya can mention this to dan et les réalisateurs françaises, it would be fab if we could create morphs just using the cr2 file. it's just possible that the method you describe may be more efficient than the poser method, but I gotta give it a try first. ¡ allez y ! I never sell anything, nor do I accept money for anything, but yer point is well-taken in regard to morphs in general, and daz morph redistribution in particular
