Saving DForce morphs on Genesis 8

Quick question.
I ran a simulation with a weight node painted on Genesis 8. It created the effect I want, How can I save it for distribution. I have read a few tutorials on how to do so as a save obj and load as morph but for some reason it won't load since the mesh is of different sizes in polys. Even saving out the same sub-d levels won't save it correctly. Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you export it out on base level subdivision?
I did at base with defaults set
My workflow is:
set up scene, it was in a posed position, applied the collision objects under skin, set to frame 30 the position of objects, keyed, then simmed it to frame 45.
Turned to base, in settings saved obj. tried to load failed because of difference in polys.
Hmmm, only other thing I can think of, if you have unused vertices checked in export uncheck it, or vice versa. Been a long time since I done morphs with anything other than zbrush GoZ
ok will try thanks.
Still not loading the morph. Is there another tutorial?
Correct me if I am wrong,
But you have your morph, set to base if not on base, save as obj export, I have everything unchecked on the advanced options in export. Load new Gen8, morph loader pro add morphed obj.
I even tried this from the zero posed position as a test to see if that had something to do with it since the morph needed the pose to be accurate. Still it didn't load.
I don't know if this will work for G8, but here's a mini-tut on creating morphs from dForce simulations: Turning Your Perfect Simulation Into A Morph
Maybe it will clue you in to something you missed…
Thanks, will look at it. I just came back to say the problem has been solved with a post I lucked into at the commons. I found a script a user posted that saved the morph obj and allowed it to load. again thank you, L'Adair, and TheKD
Make sure Genesis 8 doesn't have eyelashes when you export it!!!!!!!!! Expand here in the Scene pane. If you see eyelashes parented to her, DELETE THEM before export.
