Yes, sorry, the terminology and vocabulary used in this and related threads are swimming around in my head, and keeping me copnfused.

Yes, I normally use 2ndSkin by Dimension3D to make a second skin from the host figure containing the body morphs (but not eyes, teeth, tongue, etc.) and then reshape it to the target figure using WW2. This reshaping of the mesh to match the shape of the target figure, changes how the morph will work to be more compatible with the target figure. In effect, WW2 and CrossDresser compare and shrink-wrap the second skin mesh of one figure to fit the target.

I then use Morphing Cloths by Dimension3D to make injection morphs for the target figure, which I save. I immediately try the morph out to see if I like it, and if it doesn’t look like it contributes anything useful, I delete it.

I like to add just the morphs I want, so making a big directory of individual morphs works for me. But, one can make an injectable file that contains several, or even all of the morphs. So, Morphing Cloths simply transfers the converted morphs, or saves them as an injectable file.

M2 has some really good morphs that work well with M4 (especially the upper arm morphs which are not very good on M4), and D3 also has some good morphs. I should credit BadPenguin for this idea, as I learned this process from his posts.

The problem with using WW2 or CrossDresser with Antonia (or Brad) is that neither PhilC nor EvilInnocence have made a support file for these figures. Without a support file, one cannot use those two programs. And, we must wait until one or both of those programmers make a support file. A second problem is that WW2, and Crossdresser do not work on facial morphs.

Was Spanki suggesting that one of the uni-mesh figures could be used as a sort of universal reference to which all other figures could be compared? That is, a kind of universal comparison figure? It wouldn’t be a bad idea, because right now all of the base DAZ figures are free for versions 1, 2, and 3. One could be chosen as the reference figure, or one male, and one female.
