How do I share a dialspun character?

I really, REALLY wish the search in forums was more useful, because I know I've seen this before.

I've made a Star character I quite like. I want to save her off for myself and maybe share her with others. I'd like to use her as a new dial in my list of People morphs, if possible. How do I get there? And what's the way to package same so other people could theoretically also spin her up.

Also: is there an easy way of seeing if any other morphs I used are from the default G3 or one of the Daz morph kits? I THINK all of the other morph kits I have are in their own little subcategory or colored differently or something.

    dial spun, save a character preset, tick the shape box, untick the material box.

    could specify like, evolution morphs required.

    Shape preset will work better then character preset.

     

    In the options menu choose modified only.

    File >> Save As >> Shape Preset 

    That should be the way to save a dial spun shape - if you're not including mats. 

    To see what morphs you've used you can click on the character, then go to your Shaping tab, then click on "Currently Used". That should give you a list of what morphs are being used. After seeing the body morphs being used, be sure and click on just the face as well - as that will show up even more of the morphs used that sometimes don't get listed when selecting the body of the character.

    Where do I put it so it then shows up as a dial itself?

    Best way is a DUF file so the user applys it to their G2 or G3 and DS will apply all the dials for you.

    I think she means an ERC freeze. Once your dials are set, right click on any of the morph dials and go into Edit Mode. Right click again and choose ERC Freeze. Towards the top you want to hit Create New... Put in the name you want to show up on your new dial. Under Path, choose where you want the dial to show up (probably Actor/People/SubCatHere). Type would be Modifier/Shape (so the dial will show under shaping presets. Set the minimum to 0. Leave the other settings alone. Hit create. It'll take you back to the original window. Just leave that stuff alone and hit accept. Voila, dial. To save the dial, go to File --> Save As --> Support Asset --> Morph Asset. Choose the content directory you want to save it to, your name and what you want to call it. Then (and this is VERY important for legality), ONLY check the dial you just made. Then hit accept. It will be saved in the content directory under data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 3/Female/Morphs/VendorName/ProductName/DialName.dsf  This is the file you can redistribute as a dial. It should be really small, and you should test it on a computer without the morphs installed to make sure you didn't accidentally save anything other than your preset in it.

    Thanks so much! I'll give this a try. And thanks for the new terminology! Daz always has new secrets to uncover...
