The sticky lip polygons are causd by Poser's attempt to "project" morphs from one object to another.

But it also happens when you transfer morphs between nearly identical high res meshes.

Poser USED to transfer morphs the same way the good ol' MorphManager does: By copying the ACTUAL morphs as text files into the newly created cr2 file.

(This of course doesn't work between meshes with differnt topology, like when you reduced polygons. Then projection is a must.)

But even between meshes of identical topology, you now get "sticky lips", because most Poser figure have intersecting topology, and the projection can't tell what polygons are the upper lip and what are the lower lip.

It would have been nice to install a switch, so the user could decide what exact method to use: Transfer the actual morphs or create new ones via projection.

As things are, I still have to keep MorphManager around to transfer morphs once I modified a figure and resaved it to the library. It's quite a hassle, but then, things were never "easy" with Poser.  ;-)

BTW, if you HAVE to use the projection method because the mesh geometry has been modified, you CAN fix sticky lips and other problems using the Morphbrush quite easily.

Use the smoothing brush, but be VERY, VERY carefull and delicate. You want to modify thise one or two offending vertices only! Use a very small diameter (Or set it to single polygons only) and a very low stenght.

And, yes, Poser 11 is still the most powerfull of all Poser versions. I own Poser 12 and 13, but I haven't even installed them on my workhorse machine.
