Someone correct me, but "borrowing" a rig from a figure cr2 by entering the SetUp room and clicking on that figure was possible since the SetUp room was introduced in Poser 4 ProPack.

I never bothered with "PhiBuilder" or the "Create New Figure" functionality in Poser but always created clothing or new figures that way.

What is new in PP-2014 is the "morph transfer" that allows you to directly add figure morphs into clothing, but this was already possible before with D3D's "MorphingClothes" script as well as PhilC's WardobeWizzard.

Sadly what is gone now is the "direct morph copying", so if you want to make a modified version of an existing figure, all morphs have to now painstakingly be copied by hand back into the new cr2.

That's a "feature" I'm actually very, very unhappy with, and why I still have an older version of Poser installed.

But back to Dawn:

Sure no harm in making a dev-rig available for those who prefer it for their workflow.

 

on a mac older rig, i used an application called morph manager, which i loved, to transfer morphs from one figure to another of same (heavily morphed V2 to base V2).

i don't think it is available for my new macbook pro but is this morph transfering what you're refering to?
