I don't know if this has been asked before so here it goes. Is it possible to change heads to one character to another. For exampled if I want to put Hiro's Head on the M3 body is this possible? Or Hiro's head on Matt? TIA. Adrian

I know it is possible, but I have yet to see a tutorial that explains how it is done. I woulddnt mind putting a Raptor head on say,,, um a Mike 3 model.

See linked thread, or search for "shapeshifter" as there is probably a thread here (in one forum or another).

I'm just kinda speculating here but couldnt you just save the head as a prop?

"... couldnt you just save the head as a prop?"
For non Unimesh figures, some modelling is required to get the neck / head join correct.

What you need is kam's ShapeShifter! You can download it at PhilC's website. It works for Unimesh people, (but if you wanted to go from V2 to PT, PS, or M2 to Steph, it could do that too). I've been working on a Hiro M3 for awhile now. At first I was resizing Hiro to M3's hieght, but it maybe easier to just pop Hiro's head on M3 as a morph. I did a M3 head on V3 (for Brom morphs on V3 and a M3 head for V3 Male). bB

I'm currently attempting to convert Aiko3s head to Vicky3s body with that shapeshifter. It works but there is an issue with alignment on the neck. Smoothing neck verts is suggested but I have to find out what is ment by that and how. Aside from the neck issue I've got a fully working Aiko head on a Vicky3 body at the moment.

My brain is just a toy box filled with weird things

Also, check out the following Tutorial:

Goes over the whole manual process of head-swapping, using the example of putting the Neftoon Gal head on V3's body. Should be pretty applicable to your situation.
