Quote - So if you import Gen once, and save off as a CR2, then you don't need to use the importer again and you have a standard Poser CR2 character (yes or no?)

 

 

Yes, but ....

The cr2 version will only have the morphs in it you had when you saved it. There's no way outside the importer to 'add' more morphs if you then buy a Genesis morph pack.

Genesis doesn't use injection morphs, old style or pmd, and the morphs are only in the DAZ .dsf format. When you load Genesis - in DS, or in Poser via the importer - the folders containing the Genesis morphs (each of which is in a .dsf file in a data folder alongside the runtime) are scanned and the morph channels, channel groups and ERC are created on the fly as part of the load/import process. So when you buy and install a morph pack, the install drops the .dsf morph files into the data folder and next time you load Genesis in DS or import into Poser, the new Genesis appears with the new morphs in alongside those you previously had.

So after installing new GEnesis morphs your previously saved Genesis cr2 will not get the new morphs in and there's no way provided to 'inject' the new morphs into that Genesis. But if you import Genesis again, the new Genesis WILL have the new morphs in.

DAZ wanted to get away from injecting morphs as they get no end of support grief from newbs who don't understand it.
