OK, full body Morphs in Blender3D:
First of all and most important get Compose, a Java aplication needed for this tutorial
Compose

And UVMapper free here UVMapper

Extract the content of the MorphsUtilities.zip to your Poser instalation directory, I'll do it in Poser 5
but works on Poser 6 and 7 as well.

01 Now lets install the python scripts on the Python Palette,
Go to your Poser instalation and search for the mainButtons.py file located in Poser 5RuntimePythonposerScripts,
make a copy of this file before editing, if you donĀ“t have other scripts instaled this should look something like this,

05 Let's load Don, I'm going to use this character because it comes with Poser 5, is not a bad character (Michael 2 texture compatible)
and most of all because he has alternate geomety in the hip to enable genitals on/off, and this will let me show you how to handle this.
So load Don and then tourn genitalia Off.

09 Let's go again to File/Export/Wavefront OBJ... in the Hierarchy unselect everthing then select every
useful body part, most of the time you won't need the fingers and the Eyes, and most important select the HipNG Prop

14 You'll end with an object called Body_jv select it and go to "Save Items" use the Browse buttons to find a good place
where to save it and give them a good name, I added _JOIN at the end and save a Vertex Map File too, this is very important
give the same name as the obj for easy reference.
