Quote - > Quote - Out of interest, does anyone know if the Poser + Genesis subdivision is being done dynamically. Or is it just doing some sort of geometry switching between obj files that have different subd applied?

I export Genesis at SubD 0.Import to C4D if I want it SubD I can in C4D.
GoZ to zBrush at 0.

If your making morphs for Genesis you make the morphs on the base "not SubD" mesh.

Most app's use catmull clark to SubD there meshes it's what D/S Pro uses.

Yes, thanks... I knew that, in fact... for once. He he 😉
I was more just intrigued, from a technical perspective, as to whether there was on-the-fly catmull clark subd being applied via the DSON Loader, or associated components. Or whether the subd was pre-applied ("pre-baked") and the subd dial and script menu options were basically just geometry-switching in some way, between different subd versions of the mesh?

It also occurred to me to wonder where the Genesis obj / geometry data lived in the DSONLoader install... I will investigate that later I guess... just my own curiosity there I suppose...
