i've searched for such threads, didn't found !
so here is my question: i model a character:(head+body)
for morphing: should copy the hole body to just change the head's vertices, to animate the face i must have many morph target.
for who have done this before, any advice ?

thanks

According to me, you should apply your moprhing only on the head.
Here is the stack i use :

5/ mesh smooth ---> on the whole mesh
4/ physique / skin ---> on the whole mesh
3/ editable mesh ---> attach and weld the body to the head
2/ morpher ---> morph only on the head
1/ editable poly ---> only the head

look at this tutorial :
it's a french tut but you'll be able to see the stack :
here (http://www.3d-station.com/Tutoriaux/tutoriaux.php?id=77)

it also explain how to link the teeth of your mesh by using an attachment controller.
