Is there an EASY was to create my own morph character?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I purhcased various face morphs and by mixing & matching a dozen or more of them, I was able to create unique looking characters (5% of morph #1, 12% of morph #2, 7% of morph #3, etc.). The problem is that by including all of these morphs, each character is now 40-60MEG in size. Is there a SIMPLE way that I can convert my character to be it's own character taking up less space?

    That would be lovely...I have a character who has so much going on with morphs that, after adding all of his body hair, takes about three minutes alone to save...and that's with a 1080TI and 32GB of RAM.

    Well, I can't help with the hair, but you can set the figure's resolution to Base and SubD 0 and export to obj with all your morphs on.  Then you can use Morph Loader Pro to reload as just one morph for your own use.  You can't re-release that, but if it's a character you use a lot it can save time and space.

    The other time this doesn't work well is if it's a character that is super bulky (Massive-scale muscular or George-level overweight) because those characters really need JCMs that you can't preserve if you combine the morphs into one.

    Thank you. Where do I download Morph Loader Pro from?

    It's already a free part of Daz Studio!  The icon looks like a flexing arm with an M on it.

    Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, most of my guys are on the muscly side. This guy I just finished and he's at about 2min to save with only pants, lol. He does have a high SubD level (as well as the hair), and I know all that adds up. The one that sits around three minutes isn't as bulky but is just as toned. I don't think any of my guys can bend without the help of JCMs. It's a very useful suggestion for my girls though...but they don't take nearly as long to save.

    I followed the tutorial (THANK YOU) and everything came out perfectly EXCEPT when I tried to pose him and then NOTHING worked (see attached file). I obviously did something wrong but I have no clue as to what it might be. Any ideas from anyone.

    And if I try to use any preset poses, things get really weird -- see attachment

    Yeah, I figured that out but the problem is that while I am able to create the morph, I am unable to pose the character -- see attached images above.
