Hello,

I'd be ever so grateful if someone could point me in the right direction here:

Task: I'd like to combine the face of one Poser 4/Vicky 3 character with the body of another.

Here's what I do, which I thought would work but doesn't seem to:

  1. Save one character (with the head I want) to a CR2 file.
  2. Save the other character (with the body shape I want) to a seperate CR2 file.
  3. Close Poser and Open Morph Manager. I open both files in opposite windows, delete the face/eyes morphs from the body CR2 then copy the Face Morphs of the Face I want. Morph Manager then confirms this action is done.
  4. Load the saved new CR2 file back in Poser 4.
  5. Result: the Face looks completely different from the one I first had!

Notes: Using V3 with Full body/face INJ before loading the CR2 file.

What am I doing wrong?

Also is it possible to use Poser 4 to transfer the head of one character to the body of another (presumably using the heirachy list?) At the moment all I can do with the heirachy list is simply stop a body part from showing by clicking on the EYE icon. Surely the heirachy editor can do more than this? If so is there a tutorial available?

Thanks so much for any advice.
