Thank you I am actually trying for Bird Cult hAwk and the dogworlds. I use them for a gryphon morh :D

Interesting idea, the Gryphon. Unfortunately, I do not have either of these two. Here is how I have transferred all my morphs including several RawArt sets:

0. Before working on any specific character, I made .CR2 with all standard morphs loaded (morphs++, SP4, Creature Creator, ...) and I transferred all f those.
1. Load the character/combination you want onto V4/M4
2. Inspect the figure and find which morphs are loaded. The easiest in DS4 using the "Currently used" button of the parameter tab. Identify all the custom morphs, i.e. all the ones that are not part of the standard morph sets like morphs++ or creature creator.
3. Export the character as .CR2
4. Go to the GenX plugin tab and load the .CR2 that you exported
5. select and transfer all the custom morphs (if you have already transferred the standard one as under 0)
6. Now switch on the GenX tab to the "Presets" tab and load/add the original pose/inj/morph file for the character
7. Select the correct figure, all translate and include options and hit translate. This produces a preset file that will load all necessary morphs and setting onto Genesis.

That's it. So far this has always worked for me. That are a couple of alternate ways for difficult characters. For example you can load the morph combination you want onto M4/V4 and then export as a morph target. Load this onto a fresh CR2 and you can now transfer the combined morphs as one full body morph with GenX. Let me know if you need details on anything. Or if you run into any specific problems. In that case screenshots can be helpful to trouble shoot.

Ok I don't think my version has the exporter. I still have the email with the offer for the beta version of DAZ with a Cr2 exporter. Your explanations mahes perfect sense so far to me

DAZ4 Pro is currently available for free. Make sure to "buy" and download it. That way you have all the tools including the CR2 exporter and rigging tools.
Good luck and don't hesitate to ask if you run into problems.

Already have pro. -chuckles- Not finding much difference so far with it. Might have to suggest"nag" Raw about something else. One of the nice things I have liked about his morphs is you can create something unexpected with them. How I created that one Gryphon showing here. Accidently loaded BirdCult Hawk and DogWorld Fox on top of each other when I clicked the wrong figure.

Yes, Raw's morphs are great. The new ones for Genesis are quite amazing. Can't wait to see what he comes up with next.
The main differences with Pro are the addition of all the content development tools (unless you had the CCT before). I do use the transfer tool a lot to convert generation 4 clothing to Genesis, much better than autofit, you can keep all morphs for example. I have also converted a number of animals to weight mapped figures, very handy. And if you have Z-Brush, the GoZ plugin is great. A wonderful tool.

Been trying to use that transfer utility now that I have some time and can't get the morphs to transfer.. is there a video or tutorial available on how to use it,. The ones on DAZ I have seen are useless at least were getting morphs to transfer. Sorry it has been awhile ..

hello! While it is possible to transfer morphs using the transfer utility from the cct, it is a pain. I am using the GenX plugin from dimension3D (formerly Gen4 at Renderosity, now available at DAZ). With that one it is very easy. I have transferred most Gen 4 morphs and many characters over without issues.
The only tutorial I have seen for using the transfer tool are the DAZ videos and if I recall correctly, there was a short written set of instructions in the forums, but I did not save the link.
