hi

i use a genesis characther with elf ear and the sea nymph hair ...

i can’t find the elf ear morph ( the hair seems to have one ) and the hair recover the ear ...

it is normal ?

i use ds4

thanks for your help

If I am reading you right you want to have your elf ears show through the hair, but the hair is covering them up.

You have to show hidden properties in the parameters area. Not at home so I can’t do a screen grab, but once you show hidden properties you will be able to select the hair and find the elf ear morphs and turn them down.

Hope this helps.

Select the hair, and go to Parameters, click the Options icon (rectangle with horizontal lines in the upper corner) and make sure “Show Hidden Properties” is checked.  The elf-ear morph is automatically generated to follow the Genesis morph—zero that morph for the hair to fall normally.

How about head morphs that have built in ear modifications. I think Anubis and lycan are examples.

the sea nymph seems to have ear morphs in his description, i redownloaded it and reinstalled it without success

thanks in advance

thadeus72, were you able to solve this problem? I remember asking the exact same question in the old forum, and as I recall someone responded with instructions very similar to what fixmypcmike posted, and that fixed the problem for me. If you still haven’t been able to get it to work, I’ll take a look when I get back to my rendering computer and see if there’s anything I can add.

The easy way I use for this is to click on the Currently Used button under Parameters to aid in tracking the relevant Morphs down.

Personally I’d go “My Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis\Base\Morphs\DAZ 3D\Evolution”, find the PHMEarsElf.dsf file, open it in a text editor and find the line “auto_follow” : true (in this file it’s around line 42) and change it to “auto_follow” : false, save it, and you never have to worry about that morph screwing up any item you have attached the head ever again.
