FWIW, I tried to export LF's hip to take it to Wings for a (no pun intended) fiddle around. For some reason I couldn't get it to load in. First attempt crashed Wings, all subsequent attempts loaded nothing at all. Couldn't be arsed to try again but maybe I'll take a look some other time. Meanwhile, best of luck in your quest.

That brings up a fun technical question... can Poser do something similar to geo-grafting? What I mean is, make a conformer, slave it to the hip/pelvis, 'lift' the texture off the torso, etc...?

It's called geometry switching, and it's something Poser has been doing more or less from the start, basically a figure in Poser is a collection of props bolted to the bones of a skeleton, and all geo switching does is replace one or more of those props for new props.

My understanding is that geografting is much more involved than just geometry switching, since it involves welding seams between the geograft and the parent actor. Certain facets of the parent must be hidden where they overlap the graft and texture UV maps must be interpolated if the graft has higher UV resolution than the replaced area of the parent actor's UV map. The Genesis figure range's genital props are geografted to the hip, but are not a complete hip replacement.
