Splitting HD head/body morphs without expensive tool?

Is there a way to split one character morph into a head and body morph without buying an expensive splitter that uldimately doesn't support HD morphs anyway? Hard as Nails is a stunningly pretty product, but its versatility is obliterated by the fact that it's a single morph. That's a shame. Suggestions welcome!

    I stand corrected! It's split already, but it didn't show the separate morphs when I searched Parameters. Found them in Currently Used, though. Yay!

    HD morphs cannot be split by us, but SD morphs can be split using a dForm with a weightmap showing how the morph is to be split (so you can taper across the neck, for example). Using Morph Loader Pro you can load the full shape from OBJ and use the dForm to Attenuate By, choosing to apply ti directly or inverted to get both halves of the split.  There is already a Head Split dForm in the files fror the DevKit for Genesis 8.

    The product in question already has separate head and body morphs. I just stumbled on it, though, as it didn't show up in my Parameters search. The more I examine it, the more beautiful and versatile it is, especially since, for a "toony" character, her muscular anatomy is actually more correct and convincing than most other muscle morph packs. And her face can run the gamut from cute to flat-out gorgeous. What a product!

    there is a way to split morphs within DS but I'm not sure if it will do HD morphs and I don't own any to try. I thought I'd seen a youtube video by Josh Darling on splitting morphs that I followed a few years ago but couldn't find it. I did find these.

    This is the one I was looking for 

    It introduces the new morph tools.
