Hi,
Some of my poser files tend to get really massive (500+ MB) when I add say 3 Victoria 4 characters to the scene. It is my understnading that the main contributor is the morph component of these characters, and what I have found is that at times these Poser files get corrupted. I am not too keen using external binary morph files either since in my expereince they are also proven unreliable...
My question to the Poser SMEs is whether there a smart way of reducing the file size (short of removing morphs from the characters)... and if removing unused morph is the way to go, is there an application/python script that you would recommend...
Just as an fyi, I am currently using Poser pro 2010 w/ 24 GB RAM and will be updating to Poser Pro 2014 shortly....
Thank you all for your valuable advice...

The Poser Tool Box has tools that will do what you want.

What you can do, especially if there are certain characters you use again and again, is save the character to the library and run Ockham's Strip Zero Morphs on it (bottom of page).

I would recommend using Snarlgribbly´s "scene Fixer", amongst others it has a function to spawn full body morphs.
Create your character from various morphs, spawn a full body morph and save it to your pose library. Load a clean V4 (without extra morphs) and inject the FBM to that one
