R_Hatch:  I hope you can use the scripts!  Unfortunately, I don't have Miki but I'll consider buying her in the future so I can try to develop a transfer file, particularly if I can work out a more effective comparison method for TDMT.

lkendall:  Thank you for the comments.  :D  I think perhaps people are more proprietary about facial morphs than body morphs, which may be why no one like PhilC or Dimension 3D has tried to tackle this problem before.  Possibly a script or program for sale which could transfer face morphs might run up against copyright challenges somehow.  It should be obvious that any transferred morphs can't be shared, but I don't think there's any problem with sharing the tools that can help others accomplish the transfer.

Comparing faces is also difficult to automate.  Both Wardrobe Wizard and Morphing Clothes seem to work from the base shape of a figure, when running comparisons.  But faces vary widely in shape and need to be carefully altered in order to effectively compare the shapes.  Maybe someone with the skill could write something that combines the methods of a Face Shop with the morph transfer potential of a Morphing Clothes.  Otherwise, faces have to be altered manually in Poser to enable the comparison, which makes a utility more difficult and less user-friendly.

I think I've read that Cross Dresser doesn't handle faces either.  That may come down to one of the reasons I present above.  What about the Tailor?  I've never used it.

But I'm thinking about how TDMT could be improved a bit, now.  Have to see if the ideas work.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
