Sorry to bother you again but I have now found why I can not use 3D Canvas for Poser morphs. :( Damn. This program rocks with its abilities to work on meshes. It can be still used for making standard items. My question is now which program can make poser 4 morphs without messing it up. I prefer a program with mesh edit abilities (Point, vertices and face moving. All three with lockable X Y and Z axis for more precise working). I have at the moment following alternatives handy: Wings3d and Anim8or. Are there other programs making Poser 4 morphs without costing a fortune? Seravajan

I've been using MilkShape 3D, a $20 shareware modeller. It's low-poly, intended for game editing and the like, but I've managed to create morphs for Posette and the P4 Male. Michael's head is too high-resolution for the current version of the program to handle.

I'm looking for a modeler being able to handle the high poly characters like Michael and Stephanie to make morphs of them. Alternatives I can buy are Carrara and Amorphium Pro but with the latter one I heard that there are some issues. Seravajan

There's trueSpace, but no version of the program has native .obj export capabilities. You'd have to use a file conversion utility.
Still, if you're willing to live with that inconvenience, the retail version of trueSpace 3 is only $99, and Caligari has a tendency to offer special prices on newer versions once you're on the mailing list.
And you can download trueSpace 1 for free at PC Plus Magazine.

But Truespace costs a fortune in my nation. Something that costs $99 can cost CHF 300 in my nation. (That is about the double ammount as in US). And then I have to search for a converter. Seravajan
