Quote - I have used Clothes Morph by Dimension3D to transfer hundreds of morphs from super hi-resolution figures to super low-resolution versions of the same figure in literally seconds.

That's nice dear. :biggrin:

No seriously, that's cool. You apply a general-purpose program to a special case, and behold, it does its job. What I'm trying is much simpler. Probably faster, too, but that's a moot point when we're talking seconds. The important point here is that the method I'm using is precise. If you morph the lo-res figure, subdivide it and transfer the morph back to lo-res, you get exactly what you've started with. There's no guessing or approximation - well, up to arithmetic round-off errors, obviously.

In principle, this could even be made to work correctly if accidentally you scaled and translated the figure while making the morph and at the same time your modeler changed the order of points. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Quote - Personally I am interested in the medium resolution and low resolution figures. I have rendered Posette well morphed at 4000x4000 with FireFly object smoothing and seen absolutely no resolution artifact. Resolution is better applied to clothing then figures given that even lower resolution figures look just fine nude with render smoothing. My opinion is that the optimal resolution is just only what is required for morphing no more...

Hmm, you're giving me an idea here. If I could reverse the subdivisions process that Poser uses for smoothing polygons, I might be able to produce a morph for the lo-res figure that would optimize it for Poser display. That could actually be quite useful. Does anyone happen to have a reference handy on how exactly Poser's smoothing works?
