Thanks, I haven'

 

t tried it again yet but when I do I'll let you know how it goes.

For now, I have made friends with the "memorize" command.  I can memorize my morphed character, zero him, spawn an expression morph, and restore the memorized settings. :)

On my previous attempt with the FBM, it did make a new dial on my current project (which I didn't find until after I posted the last message; what I was really trying to do was make the morph appear in a folder), but. The FBM, when applied after zeroing the figure, did not look as good as the memorized settings that it was created from, so it is obviously losing something in the process.

For one thing, it made that dark mark on his forehead (see attached image.) That wasn't there before.

I also noticed that it applied differently depending on whether I applied it to the whole figure all at once as a full body morph, or applied it to each part of the body separately. That is, the face looked different (I probably wouldn't have noticed small differences in the other body parts) depending on whether I selected "body" and applied the morph to the entire figure, or selected "head" and applied the morph to it individually. This was tested by setting it at 1, because it is my understanding so far that 1 applies it at the same amount it was saved at. Also played with the dials, of course. It is different. Why? (The forehead mark only appears when applied just to the head. But I like that one better overall, because it looks more like the version that I saved. When applied to the whole body, some features, such as the eyes, come out looking different than the way they looked when I saved it.)

Unrelatedly, why are my renders a different color than the preview even though I turned off gamma correction? (I have been taking all of my textures into Paint Shop Pro to get just the right color, so it's frustrating that I can't predict what the color is going to be when I render it.)

Also, although I have reset my dials to 0 accidentally before, I don't know how to do it on purpose. Selecting "reset" in the pull-down menu by the dial doesn't do it.

Again, thanks for answering my questions.
