Subject: Morphs vanish after importing with transposer

When I import a Poser scene (Carrara 5 Pro using the Transposer 2 plugin) the figure and materials import fine but the morph injections that I have applied to a figure in Poser don't import. Basically, the figure is expressionless. The facial changes (open mouth, brows, old look, etc) don't come through during the import. Am I doing something wrong?

Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?

Hi Graviton, Long time, no see. No the morphs should come in a-ok. What models and morphs are you working with? Mark

Hi Mark. I'm using Mike 3 and the Millenium Dog (both in the same scene, both with the same problem). When I imported it into DazStudio I got the same problem, so this lead me to think perhaps the file was somehow corrupt. Sure enough, I started a new Poser scene, tested a few morphs, and they came through with Transposer just fine. Wierd stuff. I hope it doesn't happen again because I spent a lot of time on a Poser scene that I can't use. On the plus side, this problem forced me to play around with DazStudio for a while (exporting scenes as OBJ files for Carrara). I have to say, I was quite impressed. DazStudio is a lot easier to use and much less sluggish than Poser in many ways. I cannot go back and re-pose my figures like I can with Transposer, but often times I get the pose right and don't need to. It's always good to have a few varied tools in your artbox.
