No match.

Do I need to export it all, do morphs, and reimport as a single morph?  Woudn't I lose important JCMs unique to Sakura 8, Aiko 8, and Girl 8?  

Tips and suggestions welcome.

I created a Wrap3 version of my oc for Victoria 4. Initially, I had  to correct a lot of problems in Blender. But when I tried to get the morph to load, I kept getting the "No Deltas for Morph, Skipping load" message. I think I found out what that meant (the geometry had changed so much that it couldn't be converted into a morph by Morph Loader Pro). I was gutted.

So I went back to my third version of the wrap. Except I can't dial the character all of the way up to maximum value, as her tongue pokes through her chin. 

I just wanted to do something different (have a break from G8). Although, I'm starting to wish that I hadn't bothered.

Anyway, does anyone know how do I save this character/morph/dial in Daz Studio? 

Thank you for any help.

I swear when I opened up this morning's sales page it look like 3 or 4 sales we've had so far this year:

• Cyberpunk theme? Check
• Rando "Cyberpunk" set that's questionably "Cyberpunk"? Check
• A hard surfaces shader pack that references either "pink" or "girly"? Check (seriously how many times do we need these?)
• A fantasy eye shader? Check

What's up with the repeated themes and similar products? 

Edited for Please put your question in the post body and the title - Daz 3D Forums

Now seems that it was quite a while so I'm no longer fluent in installing/loading V4 stuff. Is there any quick tutorial I can refer to? Problem is all those are old and I don't know it they still work in current 64bit environments.

So what do I need to install?
What and in which order to I need to load/inject? (Base, Shapes, Morphs)?
Is it still necessary to run scripts for creating morphs (think it was in the past) once using DIM and do those run on Mac Catalina?

Thanks in advance!

All I want is some rigged boots for G8F that don't have chuffing stripper heels.

When I posted the ad, one of the things the site wanted me to specify was a prospective budget, so I put in $200, thinking of that as my upper limit and knowing that 3D modelling work often seems to command ridiculous prices- also expecting that I'd be able to get three or four different items at the upper end of that price bracket.

Since posting the ad, I've had an awful lot of applications for the commission, but what I'm noticing is that everyone is quoting $200 for a single item, regardless of whether they actually have any examples of relevant prior work to show. I guess I'd naively assumed people would quote what the job was worth, but should probably have expected people to demand the upper end of what I'd suggested I was willing to pay. Clearly, I'm not going to drop $200 on a single set of rigged boots, even if they're really, really well done.

I know I should have done my research before posting the ad, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience of doing something similar, and knows what sort of prices are common in the 3D commissioning world. Is $200 for a single set of rigged footwear for a G8 character actually realistic? Exactly how much work does it entail? I've had a go at doing it myself in blender and come a cropper, but I imagine someone with the know-how could do it in an hour or so.

Found this character but can't find any info on the outfits being worn. Here is the link to the character.

I had a quick question regarding Genesis 8 UV Swap.

My main goal is to buy Skin Builder 8 and use it on my Genesis 8 Male figure. To do so, since Skin Builder 8 is for female figures only, I read that you need the Genesis 8 UV Swap addon to get around this female-exclusive limitation.

No problem there, but after reading the addon's description a few times, I still can't wrap my head around the expected workflow.

Question: All I want to know is, will I be able to preview everything I do within Skin Builder 8 in real time on my Genesis 8 Male figure?... Or am I going to have to preview my changes on a female figure, to only then apply the resulting UV map onto my Genesis 8 Male figure? This feels like a reasonable compromise, but also a way less desirable one.

Would it just be better to use a Genesis 8 Female figure and use Transgender Genesis 8 instead?

That is all. Any guidance is appreciated.

Thanks!

other important details, do the eyes have baked in highlights.

and why aren't the iriss on their own separate texture jpg?  the top part is the same on every eye jpg. total waste of detail resolution.  the eyes are so important.  gives a character soul and depth.

Well... after putting some work into it, I have noticed that a full book might bloat to around a 1000 pages. The Rigging Tools guide is 145 by itself. In order to ensure that the PDF offers the most value - I'll have to cut it into chunks, describing each topic of DAZ Studio. 

As they are finished, each would be released to the shop. Perhaps after writing every single one of them, it would be possible to make a whole discounted Bundle of them as a "Complete" series. It is also an option to just release one gigantic PDF - but seeing how long that might take me, it would just hold ready chapters hostage while the others are being made. After all, having a "Comprehensive Guide to Iray in DAZ Studio" release when its ready might prove more beneficial than keeping it locked away for an extra 11 months while 3Delight, Shader Baker, Animation and Primitives get worked on. That is my assumption though - I would welcome your view on it. 

So here would be the topics, each having its own PDF dedicated to them:

• Basics of DAZ Studio menus. 
  • Shortcut customization, preference editor, docking windows/panes/tabs, style changes, "File", "Edit", "Create" menus. Style changes, Content Library, Smart Content, Saving content, Posing, Shaping, Camera setup, etc.
• Iray in DAZ Studio.
  • What is Iray, Render Settings, Lights, Surface tab (what the options do in the shaders), how to render, when to use, etc.
• 3Delight in DAZ Studio.
  • What is 3Delight, Render Settings, Lights, Surface tab (what the options do in the shaders), how to render, when to use, etc.
• Shader Mixer and Shader Builder in DAZ Studio.
• Animation in DAZ Studio.
  • The timeline, using Animate2, Keymate, GraphMate, basics of animation principles, useful posing tools and tricks, differences between Genesis, Genesis2, Genesis3.
• Parameters, Property Hierarchy and ERC in DAZ Studio.
• Morphing and Morph Creation in DAZ Studio.

I would like to hear your thoughts about this. Which topics are the most needed? Did I miss something? Perhaps something else requires attention?
Is there even a need for a PDF about certain topics? 

was thinking i only need a couple of inner mouth texture sets.  1 sclera map.
maybe 10 eye colors per figure.

do you have a favorite artist or character for eye colors?

Thanks.

i been wanting some blue skins for my G8M.  do these work without the bllwarg?

thanks

I'm going finish upgrading an existing semi-upgraded 12 year old HP desktop, by adding a new motherboard, new CPU, and new RAM.  I will use the existing HP case, power supply, case fan, 500GB Crucial MX500 SSD and 500GB WD-Black Hard drive.

Planned purchases are:

Motherboard: MSI B460M PRO VDH WiFi; LGA1200 socket, WiFi is built into motherboard

CPU: Intel Pentium Gold G-6400 (2-core, 4 thread), 4.0GHz

RAM: Corsair 2x4GB DDR4 2666MHz C19 

Total cost  $270 (US) includes shipping & tax  

Edited for completeness:

Is there a Genesis 8.1 Male figure available somewhere?  Or is Michael 8.1 the figure they are referring to?

Or is the Torment figure a stand-alone figure that is not dependant on any other figure?

I hope that somebody knows a product where one is included.

The only item I could find that somewhat resembles an oriental couch is included in the moroccan tent.

But it's not exactly what I am looking for.

Any suggestions are  appreciated.

Thanks

*edit* I think I may have figured it out with mesh grabber...will post results after a new render.
