Quote - So this won't work with the current Antonia then? I don't have 114.
Any morphs made for older Antonias that are distributed as deltas (INJ/REM poses and/or PMDs) will still work with later versions up to the current one. If the morphs influence regions that have been changed (eyes, breasts and pubic area), they may not look the way they were intended, but most morphs will be just fine.
If they come as .obj files, they will also work, but they will have any changes between the current and whatever earlier shape they were made from baked in. To counteract that, all that's needed is a morph target that restores that old shape. Antonia includes such morphs for the breasts and the hip (hip2, to be precise), but not yet for the head. The reason for that is that I used to think the eyes were too large and thus "wrong" in the older versions.
That is of course not quite true. Apparently head sizes vary more than eyes sizes in humans (someone correct me if I picked that up wrong), so basically if one dialed the size of the head down, it would make sense to compensate by enlarging the eyes in relation to the head. That's where having the old head shape available as a morph would come in handy.
Long story short: I am quite happy to include the old head shape as a morph in future versions of Antonia. If people have head morphs in .obj form but don't have any pre-120 Antonias, I could make the old head shape available as an .obj file as well. If you don't have 114, but have 118, that will work just as well, because the change happened between 118 and 120.
