klozen, connie and i have re-communicated; we are not trying to get a automatic rig out of a Collada transfer: the helpers you describe will be discarded. The point is to get the mesh, the morphs and the texture maps over.

She made the point about the morphs being a massive task, also. That will be handled (i hope) by preshaping in PoserPro so the shaping morphs are not brought over, and then judiciously selecting the expression morphs to go over.

I will look into the subject of skinmorph modifier

What "dvd paul made"? Can you give me a link or more info so I can find it?

Thanks for your comments
