I am reticent at times to post questions as I am so new. I am sure this has been covered previously probably countless times. Hate to ask a question and have the reply be, "Well, DUH!" I HAVE been reading tutorials (even finally broke down after years of computing and brought a printer to be able to print the tuts out). Still sometimes I want to know if I am going in the right direction before I get something set in my head.

My question involves base models, morphs, and mats(or skin textures).

As I have it figured now there are a few "base models". Victoria and Michael, Stephanie, Stephanie petite, etc. These are the main base figures or models.

Morphs change a targeted section of a particular base model, changing the body, portions of the body, or the face. This can be done by applying or injecting the morph. This doesn't change the base model other than their outline so to speak. It is as if they gotten cheek implants, some other form of plastic surgery to their face or body, gained or lost weight or gained or lost muscle mass. Still the same V3, she has just had some work done(extensively in some cases)

Mats are like skin textures. They contain the surface features of the skin like tone, blemishes, scars, tattoos, smoothness, body hair, etc. These can be applied over a base model or a base model that has been morphed.(Within reason. You can't take a raccoon skin and make it fit a buffalos body)

If I am correct in my understanding thus far, and the appropriately compatable character sets were used, could the following sort of thing be possible? You select the appropriate base model. Say you like the body on the Yaara product. You morph the body of the base model into the shape of Yaara's(I don't own many of these particular products I am just using them as examples). You now have a V3 or a Stephanie with the shape of the Yaara body. Say you don't like the elf face of the Yaara body. Instead you like the Tara head morph. You apply or inject that morph into the base model giving you the Tara head and the Yaara body. Finally you really like the skin texture of a third model(and some of these have clothing painted on them). For example lets say the En Vogue character. You apply the full body mat to the base model that you have morphed. So you have V3 with a Yaara body morph, a Tara head morph, covered with the full En Vogue mat. (This may in reality look pretty stupid or unnatural but I was going for very different looks I had seen to use as an example. I feel like Victor Frankenstein).

I know particular products have their own limitations but am I ANYWHERE close to understanding this correctly?

Thank you for your time and patience.
