  too far from what it maps as human is my guess

  Thanks @WendyLuvsCatz for your response and I believe that you are corrrect

  I have made the head of the character the exact same size as a G8M model - see attached screenshot - followed by using the Morph loader on the obj file that I made, but I received the following error

  2026-09-17 17:50:17.063 [WARNING] :: QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to DzMorphLoadDlg "Morph Loader Advanced", which already has a layout2026-09-17 17:50:52.475 [INFO] :: Reading devil-head.obj2026-09-17 17:50:55.189 [INFO] :: Vertex count mismatch in Morph Loader2026-09-17 17:50:55.192 [INFO] :: Morph Loader reported no effect for the following file(s):2026-09-17 17:50:55.192 [INFO] :: E:/temp/09-16-26-tim-curry-devil/devil-head.obj

  There has to be a way to create this figure, with the ability to use all the other features that a G8M figure has

  I know that I can import in a file that I have made on it's own, but just importing an obj file, would result in not being able to use Facemotion to animate the character speaking

  If you think of anything, then please let me know

  A morph is just moving the vertices that define the base shape around - you can't add or remove parts. We don't have acces to HD morphs, so we are limited to the base resolution - even with HD that shape would not be practical. The horns should be attachments (probably GeoGrafts) while the face could be a regular morph - you could get close by using whatever tools your available modelling application has for projecting one shape into another, or painting with a sculpting tool to conform the target mesh to the desied shape so that the Genesis 9 shape matched the head model, with the rest of the figure untouched, then loading that as a morph.

  Thanks @Richard Haseltine  for your response and I agree with you, as I have come to the same conclusion. Heck, the ears alone are just too large

  In case someone else tries to do something like this, then I thought I would document my workaround

  First, I split all the parts of the character, so that I could treat the horn brace and each horn as if it was a gigantic hat that he was wearing and the left and right shuolders as if they were epaulettes
  attached together with a cape - see attached screen shots

  Second, I cut out the eyes and mouth area of the head - see attached screen shots

  Third, I imported the head, then did a Prop to figure conversion, followed by doing a fit to

  Fourth, for all the other parts, I went into geometry tool mode, created a series of rigid follow nodes that correspond to each of the parts. For instance, one for the head so that I could attach the horns,
  one for each shoulder so that they would be treated as a sort of epaulette on each side - I have a superman cape that created long ago for my superman character and I attached it to the same rigid follow node in the back

  I had to place the character in the shadow so that it would not be as obvious where the "mask" starts and G8M ends, but I think it turned out pretty good

  I am currently rendering 3272 frames made by Facemotion app. I will follow up with the link to the youtube, estimated to be in couple of weeks

  Let me know what you think
