Re: Transferring Morphs To Clothes

"...you cannot distribute this as it is."

Too right. This was why, back in P4 days, there were utilities such as ObjAction Mover by 'Maz' which 'encoded' derivative files to the base model. Which you had to have before the derivative would unpack...

I've had problems trying to figure which version of a legacy model matched an old freebie encoded thus. Even Posette went through multiple versions, with differences often as minimal as CR2's 'bake date'. But, such change the file sufficiently to block decoding.

IIRC, I'd found a long-long-lost 'mermaid tail' in the depths of a long-forgotten slide-mount archive drive. It would not decode to P_11's Posette. Or P_10's. Or P-7's...

Yes, had to be an *original* original P4. Which, yes, I also had, tucked away on a different archive drive...

Inspection of their files' CRC-32 data showed a very few bytes difference, mostly due to the bake-date of each re-compilation. Which is why I quoted the relevant CRC-32 'fingerprint' when I posted about my hunt...
. . . 

IIRC, if you strip out a Poser figure CR2 morphs to the bare mannequin, use that mesh as base for armour, clothes etc, that's probably acceptable. In fact, I think I've seen examples in the Poser manual. 

And, several 3rd-part figure crafters even offer such 'stripped' figures to encourage clothing designers to support their product.

But, and it is a [i][b]VERY BIG[/b][/i] legal 'but', such only applies where allowed. SP3's Daz is almost as protective of even legacy figures as eg Disney...

Have you looked at 'dynamic' clothing ?? I can't figure how that fitting tool works, but it may  side-step your morph issues...

Another route may be 'CrossDresser'. IIRC, the core utility is free, but each 'target' figure requires a license. Some licenses are free, some 'budget', some sale-discounted, YMMV...
