Quote - So, you have to have V5 in order for morphs to work? Is there a separate set of head and body morphs for Poser?
No. There are no 'morphs for Poser', just Genesis morphs as for DS4 - they are in .dsf format and go into the Genesis 'data' folder, which will happen if you install the same way and place as the Genesis essentials.
The Genesis Essentials come with a bunch of morphs - basic male, female and kid, expression morphs, and a bunch of FBMs like heavy, Bodybuilder etc. If you've got Genesis into Poser with this importer you already have those. Then there are extra morph sets like the Genesis Evolution Body and Head and Expression morphs, creature Body and Head morphs, V4, M4, S4, H4, F4, A4, G4, M3, V3, S3, H3, F3, A3, D3, And the M5 morphs and the V5 morphs and S5 morphs. Because you can mix all morphs, there's no 'Body morphs for V4' and Body morphs for M4 like with the Gen4 figures. So the Bodybuilder base morph, for example, works with M4, or V4, or M5 or V5. You cna mix all the morphs together, so have a part M4, part D3, part M5, part F3 and some Bodybuilder with some Ogre morph or whatever. The provided transfer utility should put any of the morphs you are using into the clothes that the clothes don't have.
Also note that if you e.g. loved David3 but wanted a weight-mapped version, you can dial up just his morph (if you have bought it) and have a figure the shape and size of D3, but with Genesis weight-mapped bending instead of the grotty old gen3 bending.
Also there's the GenX utility for DS by Dimension3D. With it and the appropriate figure packs for it, you can convert any generation 3 or 4 morph, set of morphs or custom character morph to Genesis, then useable with Genesis in Poser - so you can migrate favorite gen3 or gen4 characters to the Genesis figure to have the character but with the better Genesis bending. (Note you do now need to use the (free) DS4 to use the GenX plugin to convert the v3, M3, V4, M4 etc morphs to Genesis, but the morphs can then be turned into versions that will load into Genesis in Poser).
