Okay. Too few segments, low polygon count. Thank you everyone. Such a problem that stupid little guy has been! Compose would not read the .obj, and Poser would not read the PHI (C Exceptions!?!). I had to use the Hierarchy Editor method, and I'm not sure how I got that to work after several failed attempts. Once I had a .cr2, I had to cut-and-paste from another character to add the curve channel...should have mentioned that before. Since the figure does not refer to a base geometry, everything is listed as a CustomGeom in the .cr2. Hopefully after a few more attempts this process will not seem so damnable to me.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
