Is the old vertex number preserved in the new group? In other words, if a morph is made for the new group, can it be applied to the old head? I am suspecting and hoping that the answer is yes.

@Anyone,

If anyone has grouped the lips and or lashes in this way could you export the head obj and post it at the Antonia Developers site, please, pretty please?

If exporting from Poser, the export options would be "Include existing groups..." and "As Morph Target...".

Hi Les,
I have done some experimenting, and in answer to you question, as long as you make your subgroup selection in Poser itself with the grouping tool, or in UV mapper, it does indeed preserve the vertex order so all prior head morphs will load and work. If you make the new groups in Zbrush then it does not preserve the vertex order. I have not tried Max yet.

I will upload the obj I made with the lashes and lips in a subgroup to the dev site. Remember though that there may be special things in that odf has in his obj file that I know nothing about (and probably dont understand). So with this regrouped obj. I would not do any serious work untill odf has had a chance to go over things to his sastisfaction. But you can see how its done and experiment with it.

Also I wanted to say this is a usefull thing for other things as well. I have in brad sub groups for the fingernails and toenails, lips, eyelashes, eye lids,nipples, teeth pairs, and foreskin. The eyes I have sub groups within subgroups, for instance the pupil is a subgroup of the iris, and then the iris and pupil are subgroups of the eye.
