I misunderstood what you are doing. I thought you did a bend and then used the magnet to smooth the neck. I should have recognized that the head xrot would never look like that. Rotating the whole head 90 degrees with a magnet, I would not have been surprised if the head did not shatter when the spawned morph is applied. RDS has a rotate function for making morphs and it would be handy too, except that the morphs made with it only work when at 1.0. Anything in between zero and one, or greater than one is really deformed. I guess you could that comfort that the head does not bend like that anyway. You try doing the bend and then cranking down the yscale on the neck?
