Quote - > Quote - There is another option I have found that works well as long as the lips dont have bones assigned to them. You can have each lip or any other part as it's own sub group of the parent group and Poser treats the whole thing as the parent group, but Zbrush and UV mapper see's the subgroups as well. I have often wondered why no one does this with the eye lashes especially since they are so much trouble and time to separate out fron the head group. It has always worked fine for me with Brad.
But you cannot put a bone in that would also cover the lips and also have them a sub group of head because then Poser makes a duplicate peice of geometry. But as long as the lips have no bone they can be a sub group.
and you can separate the upper lip and lower lip that way?

Yes you can separate them just as if they were their own group, I have each lip upper and lower and each eyelash as separate subgroups so that I can work on them individually or get them out of the way as in the case of the eyelashes.
You can even select the subgroup in Poser group tool, so Poser sees it as well but since it is also part of head group it treats it as head as far as the rigging.
