Hey you oh experienced with character creation peoples...
Okay. There is a lady living in my brain right now, and I want to turn her into a character. I'm not worried about texturing her right now, I have that pretty down pat. What I'm dying to know is.... how do I save her morphs (dialed in) that I spent hours tweaking, and how do I remove them? I've been looking all over for help, and even if it's a book you can refer me to, it'd be appreciated
I'm using poser 7, Daz's Victoria 4.2 (I believe) for this project.
I have access to:
Notepad ++, Morph Manager, Injection Magic
Only one I actually know how to use (all obtained today) is Notepad ++
I have a whole slew of programs that may or may not be helpful, but I HAVE to get this woman out of my brain and saved for later.
I'll give cookies.
Any help is appreciated... I don't even know if I'm in the right forum! I've frazzled my brain trying to figure things out.

I don't have any of those, but there are a few different methods from what I gather. Vex has a tutorial on her site here: http://vexiphne.net/blog/poser/creating-a-custom-morph-in-poser/ which is easy to follow.

If its a dialed in morph, you can only sell morphs created with the RNDA Merchant resource morph kit.
if you dont plan on selling it, my tutorial will help enough

Nope... not selling! =) It was helpful, thank you! I tend to want to make the characters/textures once but since I know I'll use them over and over, I want to be able to make the re-use of them and changing out morph settings as easy as possible. Work now so I can be lazy later.

Okay... now I've gone and purchased those morphs incase I do ever want to sell..... but now I've done gone and broken into Zbrush and am experimenting with morphs there >.< I'm becoming obsessive. Thanks again for the help!

Is there a page or whatever that has rules for these things? Why do so many characters require morphs+++ ? I don't get it, since if they aren't used in the dialing of a character, why are they needed?

Haha Ok I have a question. After I sculpt V4s head and export the obj back into Poser and I have a few different dialed in morphs, how do I combine then into one?

That's a good question! I don't know myself unfortunately, but I'm hoping one of the pros will answer since well... I have the means to do so too.

is there a way to save your character dialed morphs from inside DAZ3d, or do you need special programs?

anyone know? I guess it'd be along the lines of getting the morphed character you created ready to sell? I really want my old daz3d characters to use in daz4, but I don't have their cr2s I guess it is?

Is this what I need to make my kilandra character able to be made into a genesis model kilandra character? http://www.daz3d.com/i/shop/itemdetails/?item=8113 (ie... turn her to a cr2 and then use the gen4 tool to make her morphs available?)

Did you get the custom morph to show up? I finally sat down and read through the included tutorial and that one you linked above and I can't get the custom morph to show up at all - just the daz ones. I selected them (trying with Samson, injected genesis with his head/body INJ) and I get no community tab like they said I would. /shrug Sent the guy an email on RMP with the same question.

You just want to save it so you can use it again later, right?

Bottom left hand corner, the little + sign, select Character Preset in the pop up menu. Worked for me - and I figured out how to do the custom morphs. Man, they left out steps.

So sorry, just saw this one now. Yeah, they did leave out steps 
But you did get them to show up?

Oh yeah, got to work just fine. They just left out the crucial steps. Of course!

I too need to do this. Except across machines. I have characters that were created for rp people and I want to move those over to my pc. Running DS 3.1 on the macbook (X.4.11) and DS 4 on the win7 pc. All I get are tons of errors, even after copying my runtime (laboriously) from the macbook to my pc. I really would like to pull the textures as well. I get that I might have to resort to manually copying them, but god I hope not.
