Is there a way to apply part of a full body morph?  Explanantion, I want to use the Fitness Morph (shape) but I don't want the 'chiseled abs'.  is there a way to apply the morph from the waist down? Or to an individual body areas such as arms? (method, utility or product)

    One way - using a product, e.g. this one - https://www.daz3d.com/shape-splitter

    Alternative - by manual: Clear selected Deltas from the dialed morph with Geometry Editor + some necessary mesh smoothing in external sculpting software - A tutorial -  https://youtu.be/XuQwnTd4Fok?si=Z41IpYq0Wr4jLtty

    If you wanna partially apply a full body morph to the designated area (waist down, arms, as you mentioned), a manual way is to create a dFormer with weight (just like HeadSplit dFormers in G8/G9 Starter Essentials). Export the full body morph to OBJ, import it back to the figure with Morph Loader Pro by using Attenuate option. Reference tutorial - https://youtu.be/nEFI6keXU2c?si=ndkUVwAFCe58FqzT

    For Genesis 8 these products have morphs that can be applied to specific muscle groups.

    Muscularity Morphs for Genesis 8 Female(s)

    Muscularity Morphs for Genesis 8 Male(s)

    Musculature HD Morphs Bundle for Genesis 8

    I find a full body skinny/emaciated morph compliments the above products if you do not want bulk.

    First, I bought the Body Mixer tool, and and honestly, I don't know how I missed that one.  A great utility for someone who likes to mix and settings and shape characters.  (love it). Thanks nabob21.

    For the project I am working on it was not quite the solution. Mixing in the the lower body half of a shape like "fitness', includes the lower abdomen and I was looking for fit arms and legs with a less chiseled abs area.  I own the Shape Splitter Tool crosswind mentioned, and will try that this weekend. 

    Using the Muscularity Morphs mentioned by dtscbrutal, I have been able to dial in a fitness shape very close to what I had in my mind's eye.  I have owned these morphs for a long time and use them for subtle changes to specidic area body shapes, yet I did not think about using them for this 'task'.  Thanks dtescbrutal.

    Finally, I am most interested in learning the Alternative Method offered by Crosswind.  I watched the video tutorial and this looks like what I am trying to do (except in the abs area) and I think it is a skill I want in my toolbox.  I will give that a try and report back.  

    Thanks to all for responding, I always learn something here in the forums.
