Fair enough.  That sounds a bit like the "soft criticism" I've been encountering a bit, here IRL.  "Well, it kind of looks like, but.... merrm...." and they trail off into mumbling and can't be made to commit to solid, coherent feedback.  Dammit, I need my old emoticons, to show when I'm laughing at an idea and not ranting.

I'm accustomed to fighting with the results of that *other* FaceThing, using magnets and scripts to make the tiny bit of resemblance it could provide into something usable.  If nothing else, the results right now can make that simpler for me.  I may also have lower expectations than many of the remaining Poser users.  I'm not hung up on photorealism.  Which is to say, I'm not interested in it and I couldn't do it if I actually wanted to.  So I can't give you those kinds of renders, alas.

Anyway, I'll keep trying to refine the results, and perhaps I'll have some Poser views of exports, at some point.

I actually came back here to note that these basic procedures -- using marker point correlations to bring two things toward the same shape -- could be useful in other contexts.  What are joint centers and endpoints, but useful marker points that dissimilar figures have in common?  I think the basics here could be made into a tool to, at the very least, significantly simplify garment conversion using the whaddayacall Fitting Room.

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.
