How about a morph room? If the useless Face Room has such a dedicated space in Poser, why not expand the functionality of the morph tool into it's own dedicated space? Everyone that uses Poser uses morphs in one way or the other.

I like this idea a lot!! Not to limit the morph brush to a new-and-improved Face Room, of course, but to expand what it can do specifically for morphing facial shapes and expressions. I have often wanted to adjust or make new expressions for figures, but the morph brush just doesn't (yet) have enough features to enable that process easily, at least not for those of us who aren't sculptors. I imagine a talented and patient sculptor can do all kinds of things with a simple round brush with varying degrees of falloff, but I often wish for brushes of other shapes, so that everything I try doesn't end up looking like a giant pimple :-)

If the Face Room was revamped to focus on morphing, not on texturing, and would therefore work with any figure, then it could have some dedicated tools to help with face shaping and expressions. And maybe some presets to help with common tasks, like different ways of adjusting smiles.

I don't know how such a thing would work for figures that have facial chips, but I'll just toss out there that those chips never work for me, mostly b/c things never move in the direction I was aiming for. I'd much prefer being able to work on a morph that I can later dial in (and also later edit, if necessary).
