Hi Timoteo1: Soulhuntre is correct in that you can't just create a new obj and have morph dials from the previous model work - Poser just can't figure out the differences. So to get the morph targets to work with the higher resolution version you need to convert them as well. If the morph dials were created using magnets, then they can be re-created on the new figure using the same magnets. If they just came in a cr2 then you need to export them, convert them to the higher resolution, and then reload them as morph dials in Poser. I AM definately working on that exact tutorial, and it will be the first Advanced Tutorial released. In the meantime, email me and I can get you all the info I already have, and will go through process with you to get it working. Not sure which model you were trying, but if it's Posette I can get also get you the current beta version of her cr2 with all the standard morph dials (and some extra ones,) converted. As for not being able to import something, that would be very strange ndeed. I have yet to find anything Poser could produce that HiRes wouldn't import, and that includes those little tree/hair things Poser makes. Although it won't display or convert them to rel polygons just yet, but trust me that it does know they are there :) The only times that it appeared HiRes didn't import them properly was when they were accidentally exported at either a size much larger than the Poser norm, or offset some distance from the center. The same thing has happened to me a lot in Poser when importing 3DS models, since they can be all sorts of sizes, and it seems like a lot of those people don't like to create them in the middle of the scene :) So it looks like it didn't import them, but they are actually just way to be or off screen So please email me direct and I can get the whole thing solved for you. dke@sk.sympatico.ca Bruce ps: One other thing I just realized late last night as a possible morph conversion assistant, is that Tailor program. I havn't wanted to talk it up to much since I was working on exactly the same type of thing with my DMesh program, and so was a little annoyed when he beat me to the market with it :) So I put that portion on hold for a while and went with this HiRes rogram instead. But he did honestly beat me up to bat first, and from some of the comments I've read it would seem quite a few people have it, but not sure if you do. This is not an endorsement for the program since I don't have it myself, but just a possible suggestion if you do have that program.
