I thought morph targets were difference vectors. `B^) My guess from what you're saying is that Face Room morphs are difference vectors assigned to a "master head" mesh and that each FR-compatible head mesh has a data table correlating its unique vectors to the (geographically) equivalent vectors on the master. I guess that because it's the only way I could imagine it working, short of an AI-based magnetic system (and that system would take any head, so obviously you're not using it). That said, I can't see the advantage CL stands to gain by monopolizing the business of adapting heads to the Face Room. For better or for worse, the people who created the meshes are capable of mapping their datasets to yours, saving CL the time and trouble of doing it. Moreover, if CL is the only route to adapting heads, then creators like Nesterenko, Diane, Mobius et al are given a substantial disincentive to develop new character meshes for Poser. Please tell us this isn't the case; one of Poser's greatest strengths is the encouragement it's given to develop new characters from scratch and use them on equal footing with the stock ones. If I'm talking out my butt, I apologize in advance.
