Quote - Sadly, I didn't get a lot of time to play with this today. What I meant by 'smoother settings' refers to the parameters within the Restore Detail script. I found out that no matter what the setting, the neck gets severely indented right where the head connects when I use the restore detail morph :(
I also found that tinkering with V3's ytran before running the script can really tighten up the resulting morph in Antonia, so long as I keep the new shape morph setting at 0.5 or less. While not a perfect transfer, this does open many new possibilities for giving Antonia a unique face :)Is there any way to get the eyes to follow the new shape as well? I noticed that when I dial in the new shape, the eyes don't follow. This means that they have to be scaled/translated manually to work with the new shape.
Yes, what you're describing with the neck is what I was going on about earlier. I need to integrate some form of actor weld edge screening for both shape transfer and restore detail. Once I'm done tinkering with UV transfer (hopefully I'll make myself quit today, whether it works or not), I plan to start porting some code from my Smoother script to those others.
When transferring the shape, did you use the special pose for V3 which was provided in the zip download? The "Vicky3_shape.p2z" should (assuming I didn't screw up the pose creation process) position V3 as I've had her in my own tests when I've gotten the best shape transfer results. If you've used the pose and still had different results than mine, I'd like to see what's happened. Can you post an image, preferably using the shaded wireframe like I've been posting in the thread? Given the same tools, we should both be able to get the same results, if we can make sure our processes correspond. That's assuming, of course, that you haven't simply found inadequate the results that I find impressive. :lol: Whatever the case, I value your testing efforts and any feedback you can provide. :woot:

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.
