Applying a self designed head on stock bodies

CB&Q

I've designed a totally new figure  and saved it in my library as a preset character. My question is, am I able to just transfer the head onto a stock figure body. I notice when you buy stock figures you can appy body and head morphs separately and interchange between the different figures. Am I able to to do this with my homemade figure? If so, how?

As always, thanks in advance for any info you can contribute.

I assume you mean you are using one of the standard figures with a new morph or morphs? If so then it will depend - if it's a morph you created yourself, in a modelling or sculpting application or using DForms, and you didn't create separate head and body morphs then no, not easily; if you used standard morphs in various combinations then you may be able to zero out all the non-head morphs and keep just the head shape, which could be saved as a preset, but it would depend on whether the morphs used were separate head and body shapes or affected both at once.

If you own Poser 10 Pro or newer you can do that with the Poser Morph brush. You can do an external search directed to search the RDNA forums to learn how.

Richard,

Yes, I started with Olympia 7 and applying the different head morph products I purchased, I morphed that face into one that I needed. I also did that with the figure using various body morphs. Is there a way to somehow save this head morph, separate from the body that it now resides on? If so, what would be a process? Is it too late to save these as separate head and body morphs? If I saved a copy of the complete figure, and then zeroed the body morphs on this copy (still keeping the original complete character), would I be able to apply the various bodies on this zeroed body and still keep the head intact? Then everytime I would open that new zeroed body copy, I could apply a different body morph. Does that sound right?

So much to learn! Thanks again Richard.

As Richard says, save as a preset; chose Shaping Preset. You will be presented with a dialogue box, expand the options searching out the Head options. You might not need all the various Head-options, but once saved you can apply to a default figure and compare with the original before deleting.

Apply to a figure by using the merge option and selecting where you saved it to; I believe it is also in Smart Content but I have that disabled, so can't say for sure.
