"The third point is the issue for me,  I have been using Dawn SE for a number of years now and I have been more than happy doing so plus I can find enough content to spend my hobby budget most months.  Her male counterpart is sadly M4, I would love to be able to use Dusk but there certainly is not the content around to make the figure viable for me.  I am not expecting the Dusk content to match M4, that would be impossible in the short to medium term, but the content that is available makes Dusk a non starter for me."


***************************************************************************************************************************************************


1. Load M4 and ZERO as well as LOCK him.

*

2. Load Dusk and SUPERIMPOSE him over M4. (Basically adjust the scaling and his pose so that he "fits" M4 like a (body) glove.)

*

3. Use the Morphbrush to improve the fit/shape by using M4 as the "target".

*

4. You might have to re-name/regroup some of Dusk' body parts to match M4 grouping. You can do it in Poser, but it's easier in a dedicated modeller. I use Wings3D and yes, I'm very, VERY oldschool.

*

5.Create a new figure based on the resculpted/modified mesh by using M4 as the donor rig.

Use MorphManager, NOT the Poser morph transfer to copy the head morphs from the original Dusk cr2 to your "Dusk-to-M4" figure.

*

6. Adjust the eyeball centers and perhaps head and neck rigging.

Hmm, I just checked the Dawn/Dusk rigging, and you'd need to readjust the centers of the tounge actors and the jaw, too.

(BTW, that's why I prefer simple rigged figures without extra bodyparts.)

*

7. If you want you can transfer M4's body morphs over to your new figure, this time DO use Poser's built in morph transfer.

*

8. Now yoy can use any type of M4 poses and clothes with Dusk without any need for conversion.

BTW, I did this a long time ago, making the P4 Dork compatible with M4 clothing, as well as making Posette compatible with V4 clothing.

These are NOT "Frankensteined" figures, but both meshes are 100% Dork as well as Posette.
