ksanderson or anyone else inclined to get morphs transfered from standard V4 into 17K V4, here are the links for the Cage/Spanki scripts which ended up not working for me. It is probably no big thing, and failed because of my non-facility in these areas.

This is the big thread:
http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/showthread.php?thread_id=2677445
downloaded geom_test4g.doc from the FIRST POST in the above thread, change the extension to .py for a file name of geom_test4g.py
Got a GUI but could not seem to get a sequence down; some morphs transfered, some did not, none worked, Poser hung.

JoePublic's other link suggestion : 
http://www.kuroyumes-developmentzone.com/~Cage/scripts/scripts.html
It's called TDMT
I downloaded but scripts were throwing off runtime errors, did not get anywhere with it

As for the rig and texture maps for V4-17K, I just followed a bouncing ball at the thread below and was able to establish a cr2. When I did that, 'morph poses' for textures worked, and the rig for rotation/translation worked.

Last post has the sequence. MikeDazFan  was interested in LOD:V4_LOD_2K.obj  but of course I changed that to 17K. He also finalized in Carrara while I find the CR2 in PoserPro.

I believe the entire community will benefit from a fully-functional V4-17K.
