Primorge:

You sir, have an incredible memory. I'm flattered that you would remember such a post. Anyway, the figure has come a long ways since then, and the problem I was trying to solve then turned out to be a very basic mistake on my part, and kicked myself for many days after realizing it.

icprncss2: While using other rigs may be an alternative, the problem lies in getting the Dryad figure to match the host V4 figure precisely. The Dryad has to match V4 poses exactly, or the illusion is lost of the leaves serving to define the edge of the Dryad, and give her the ability to express emotions.

WandW: Thank you so much for the links! This looks like it will solve the problem with all the remaining (but empty) morph channels that the Dryad can't use. Thanks for the info on other rigs, but they won't work unless I make the Dryad a truly unique figure.

...Insert some witty or thought provoking comment here...
