Hello,

I transferred V4 model into Hexagon using the DAZ->Hexagon bridge.

I then made some modifications and sent it back to DAZ. The morph appeared as “My morph” and was applied.

I then saved the file in DAZ to “mynewV4withmorph.duf”

However when I reload that file my new morph is missing from the model and isn’t applied.

How do I save the morph so I can import it back into the model and into other V4’s ?

Thanks.

What did you save it as in the Save As menu?

I use Save As > Support Asset > Morph Asset(s), and it is loaded each time I load the default Genesis.  Select your Morph in the menu that appears.

When I try to save it as a support asset in the file menu ->

It says

Resource error:

“you must save Figure/Node Assets before you can save Morph Asset(s)”

and if I try to save the entire figure it says I must convert it to a weight mapped figure first… which doesnt’ sound right to me.

Sorry, my mistake,

Since it is a Gen 4 figure, you have to use Save As > Deprecated > Pose Preset, and follow the path in the menu to the morph you want to save.  I just did it, and it works OK.  I am using DS 4.5.1.6.

Using DS 4.5.1.6:

I tried using Save As > Deprecated > Pose Preset and then selected the morph. This saves with a .ds file extension which is a script rather than a morph and it doesn’t load into new V4 models.

Morphs are pp2 or pz2 files I think.

DAZ Script files perform lots of functions.  PP2 files are Poser Props, and PZ2 are Poser poses or MAT poses.

I tried this and it does work.  Where did you save the DS morphs to?

I saved mine into the My Library folder, into Presets > Poses, and the file is saved as a DSA file (plain text).  Load V4, make sure it is selected in the Scene pane, and then find the Morph in your content, and double click to apply it.  DS should also have created a thumbnail for the Morph.

EDIT:

The morph does not apply immediately to the figure.  You have to go to the Parameters pane, and use the slider there.

Don’t know what to tell you,

I created a morph using Hexagon, saved it as a deprecated pose file. And it doesn’t load into a new V4.

I’m pretty sure scripts cannot be used to save morphs all the morph injects I’ve ever seen are .pz2 files not .ds

DAZ Scripts can be used for almost anything, and as I pointed out already, PZ2 is a POSER file format.  PZ2 files work inside DS, but they are not a DS native format, DSA is.

Where did you save the created file to?  Which folder?  Did DS4 create a thumbnail for it?  Can you see it in the Content Library pane?

When you select a V4, and double click on the DSA file, what happens?  Have you looked at the Parameters pane to see if the morph is there, you will need to move the slider in the Parameters pane to apply the morph?

What version of DAZ Studio are you using, I am using DS 4.5.1.6

I saved the morph in the default DAZ pose preset folder, DS4 did create a thumbnail for it, I could see it in the library pane but when I load V4 and double click it, nothing happens the morph is not applied and its name does not appear in the parameters tab.

There is no error message, just nothing happens.

I am using DS 4.5.1.6
and Hexagon 2.5.1.79

I want to know how to save the morph for V4 M4 A3 or other figure too. (not genesis,, or prop)

though I can load obj whenever I want as morph target by morph loader,,
but it seems not good way,,

when I first try to make morph for spuggles,, I could not find the answer .
(I did not know about poser at all, so just tried it to save as ds files, but as for me, I need to change the spuggle
to triax weight figure first, then save as morph (ds file),,)

Now I tried same things about M4 . after save the morph (choose the path , under morph loader section, then check it)
as dsa pose file, then load new scene, load M4, select M4 root, apply the pose preset,,
not happen. I tried both first save morph value full, and next save morph value zero,,
but about both case,, the dsa file can not apply as morph,, (or I need to serch not under morph loader category?)

I can make morph and load it to ds.
and I can save the scene with morph as duf, and it keep the morph and controller I made.though I did not save it as morph yet,,

but I can not the save moprh, as same as I can with genesis,,,

I think there must be right way,,so if I need set option when save it as dsa?
or if need to change M4 to triax figure first ?(it seems not better way,,, though I can save the morph,,)
or use poser file exporter tool?
