Hi pjz

If it is a lot of work -- but just as much work to make "fresh mesh" properly rigged -- then the game is worth it to me. Either way I end up with a lot of work and a master figure.

However, if the mesh is V4, I am left with a straight shot fit for all V4-designed texture maps. I also have the entire library of V4 morphs, assuming there is no barrier to getting those in.

The cool thing is: I don't have to worry about ever manipulating my resulting figure back in Poser or Carrara since I am then "in Max." So, when fitting BiPed to the raw mesh, we can deform it some/a little to work with BiPed and not worry about it being backward compatible outside of Max.

Can you respond to that logic? I definitely welcome all warnings and gotchas.

Thanks pjz.
