Quote - I'll fiddle, faddle and fart around with this some more tomorrow (later today). At first go, the smoother settings need some tinkering with. Mainly around the nose, ears and neck.
I'll post results after some shut-eye!!
I'm glad you got it to work! :woot:
Can you explain what you mean by "smoother settings"? You can run the Restore Detail script (top of this thread), to make some improvement to the results of the shape transfer. That will fix the ears nicely, if I understand your meaning. The nose has some issues in the comparison file which I've been working on refining, but it isn't ready to be posted yet. (Note: raise the Threshold value for Restore Detail to 0.75 or even 0.1 or 0.2, to have more cleanup of the morph with less loss of shape.)
The neck is an interesting problem. Part of the trouble there is that we probably want to avoid dragging the weld edge of the actor geometry away from a child or parent. The Smoother script I posted on page 1 or 2 of this thread has tools to trim a morph, removing deltas which affect these split edges. (Warning: Smoother script requires Spanki's _tdmt.pyd.) I've been planning to try to integrate some of that functionality into TDMT and Restore Detail, but haven't had a chance, while trying to get the new TDMT script and process into shape.
Thank you for the Cage != turkeyhead comment. :lol: I'm having a pretty good run, recently. I'm just waiting for the turkeyheadedness to creep out again. :lol:

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.
