Quote - Thanks so much for your clear explanation. I just wonder why one can't do your last item:

4. Use Poser Pro 2010 and import a full body morph. **<----EASY

in Poser7 or 8. Every time I try this, I get "Wrong Number of Vertices".** What does Poser Pro 2010 do differently?**
**

  The reason for this is that Poser Pro 2010 has introduced a new feature under the figures tab called “Load Full Body Morph”. This allows you take an fully exported figure with morphs applied in .OBJ format, and load it back on top of an unmodified blank figure. It will then load the morphs for each body part and create a master control dial on the root body selection.

Poser 8 and below cannot load an entire figure at once as a morph. Selecting the root body section will not allow you to load a “full body morph” via the Load Morph Target under the objects tab. Most times causing poser to lockup or return the wrong number of vertices error.
