Yep, that seems to be the way the cool kids are doing it these days. I found a Nerd3D tutorial that explains how it's done.
So I'll educate myself on that technique, and if anyone wants to provide free morphs for Antonia, I'll be happy to take the obj files and convert them into hot-pluggable morph poses.
The only drawback is that PMD's were introduced in Poser 6, so that technique will not work for people who still use older versions. I know I sometimes went back to rendering in P5 because of the infamous refraction bug in P6. But I imagine injecting the morph in P6, saving the figure and loading it in P5 would still work for these situations.
Great I just downloded her and will check her out. I think Pmd is the way to go. I do all my morphs like this. It's very easy and resource friendly. Glad you called dibs on expression morphs. Im pretty decent at generic body and face morphs but lousy at phonomes and expressions. I want to build up a fairly extensive collection of FBM's and head morphs but it will take some time because I want to get them working well together. Im thinking of doing them with some sort of tagging system at the end of a morph name so people will automatically know which morphs work well together and which ones are for more specific looks that don't really play nice at higher positive/negative values. I will not set limits that's up to the user.
i.e..
O at the end of a morph name=Only plays nice by itself.
D at the end of a morph name=Does play well with other morphs but at a limited range.
F at the end of a morph name=Fully reversible or atleast close to fully reversible.
PS
I did a small tutorial on how to do Pmd a while back @CP. It's for Apollo but still applies to any figure. Scroll down to post # 33 on page 4 is the step-by-step
