Caisson,

I think I disagree about the DAZ point. The similarity of issues is very...odd...for lack of a more accurate term. I'm not wearing a tinfoil hat. I've not insinuated a conspiracy of any nature. For several years DAZ ignored requests for assistance on the inability to GoZ a Gen3/8 figure at HD levels back and forth to Studio. I was one of the ones being ignored or simply told I had a software/hardware issue with regard to it. Then one warm and sunny afternoon I got to talk with an actual DAZ vendor who created HD morphs for DAZ and he let it slip that they had a means to do it. I posed the question outright in the forum over there and while DAZ immediately pulled my post down, another member messaged me and told me the whole scoop on the special vendors-only bridge they had. I posed as a vendor and after a few back-and-forths the DAZ vendor rep I was talking with admitted not only that said special bridge existed but that they had it blocked for other users specifically so they could control figure morphs and protect the copyright on their figures. (AKA, we don't want anybody but us selling HD morphs.) That's not a conspiracy. I have emails from them stating it. Email them yourself and ask. So bringing up a known business tactic in regards to this issue is not a red herring - it's a legitimate concern and question. In fact the only similar situation like this is the DAZ matter. Things have remained professional in this thread thus far and I'd like to keep it that way. Please refrain from accusing me "misleading" (via reference to herrings) and conspiracies. I've done neither.

There is no work-around. Closing Poser and Zbrush does not fix the problem for me. And even if it did work, the question would be why? And what kind of a work-flow requires me to shut down both programs continually every time I want to tweak a figure? I did try it though and it did not work. The figure reopens with the the original first morph fine (as previously mentioned) but any subsequent attempt blows up.

The problem I'm really stuck on is why can't I simply export the HD figure's subdivided geometry out of Poser, and re-import it as an FBM? I can do that at base resolution. I cannot with anything 1 or higher on SubD? If poser can save the one morph at high resolution and bake it and reopen the figure later with that one morph intact, then it's working correctly. If it works once, why not twice? In other words, the point I'm making here is that bugs and glitches don't usually know how to count. If Poser's HD is stable and producing solid geometry then why won't it re-import its own OBJ as an FBM? I keep going around in circles and finding myself realizing just more and more how exactly this problem seems to be in relation to the DAZ limitations. Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe this bug is making me crazy. Maybe Bondware will fix it just so I'll shut up. Ha, ha.

Anyway thank you for the continued input and assistance. The work-around however does not seem to work for me though.
