I may have bitten off more than I can chew, when I took Judy's head and modified it to look like my wife. The resulting OBJ can be put in as a morph target and shapewise looks good. All the expression morphs still worked, which is what I wanted. Trying to force a distorted picture of my wife into Judy's head template was poor, so I decided to try making my own replacement head uv map. In Blender things are looking better.
Before I spend hours tweaking more uv verts around I thought I would try inserting what I have so far. Here is where I hit the wall. Using a text editor, I replaced the head vt's in a copy of Judy's OBJ, with the vt's from the Blender OBJ of my wife's head. When I tried everything in Poser --Ouch! A quick check showed Judy's head had 6565 vt's (almost the same the number of Judy's and my wife's verts), which I had replaced with 25918 vt's. I expected some growth due to the different seam cuts I used, but not like this. I also noticed duplication of vt's in the Blender OBJ export.
Somewhere, either my understanding or my technique is flawed. So here I am needing your help.
