Select the hat in the Scene tab. Enable 'Show Hidden Properties' in the Parameters tab. Then in the hat find the actor entries that are causing problems and dial them back out. Make sure you are using the latest DAZ Studio release of 4.5.1.56, otherwise these changes will not be saved with your scene.
If you do that you will lose the Aiko fit entirely. The problem is that the ends of the tails are out of the area of effect for morph following, and since there's already a rigidity group applied to the tails the only fix is to make a new morph that corrects that - fortunately it should be pretty much a question of selecting the left behind ends, translating them to line up with the morphed sections and perhaps scaling a bit - my tutorial on modifying the Justin and Julie morphs for the Fantasy Wrap should cover most of the DS side of things http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/17277/
I just turned on smoothing to get rid of that problem. It's a lazy way that works in this situation.
cwirchura ,okay that makes me feel better,cause I did do that and then the hat shrunk and wouldn't fit ......
Richard I will definitely go read that tutorial ,and try that ....
larsmidnatt ,I'm even willing to try smoothing
Thank you all very much for the help .....
Carrie, it looks like the balls at the end of the hat got assigned to another part. Assuming that is what happened, you can fix this by re-assigning those polygons to the head bone or simply create new bones giving extra functionality to the hat. Check the joint editor and/or the polygon group editor to see if this is the case.
If that is NOT the case, you could use the tutorial for converting a long dress to Genesis.

Another thing you could try is to assign a smoothing modifier and change the parameter from base shape matching to Generic.
Thank you wancow , I'm willing to try anything ,though I do have to admit that the little voice in the the back of my head is going " say what?!?!? hmmm these people are giving you waaaay too much credit for having functional brain cells" I have learned to ignore that voice for the most part and try any way ....
This is the Genesis version of Just Jokin', I assume, not an AutoFit conversion of the V4 version. The taisl have their own bones, but that isn't the whole issue as the break occurs part way down the tail2 bones.
Yep it's the Just Jokin V5 , .......thank you Richard
Seems like this is just one little issue I'm haveing with DS lately ,and I'm honestly getting frustrated , something is going weird ,DS burps and things dissappear ,if I browse to My Library folder while in DS there are 2 My Library folders under Studio ......and yet if I go to my Documents,DAZ3D ,Studio ,then there is only 1,so it seems to me that DS is seeing 2 which explains why it keeps throwing up duplicateID's ......
The only thing that has changed is I updated both Adobe, and Java on Saturday ,and every thing has been acting up since.......I have a headache
Sorry about the rant just frustrated .....
Are you using the DAZ Install Manager? By default that puts stuff in the Public profile's Documents folder, though that's My DAZ 3D Library. You can see the list of folders by right-clicking on the Content Library's tab, or clicking the menu button in the top corner, and then Content Directory Manager....
Hi - I'm sorry to see you're having problems with the hat - to be honest this was only the 2nd thing I made for Genesis so I'm sure I can improve things a lot. I'm finishing off something today but I can add morphs for Aiko5 tomorrow, outfit and hat :) Would that help?
Hi Mada ,the outfit is wonderful no problems with it fitting any of the shapes I've used it on so far it's just an issue with the hat ,and if that could be fixed I would be elated !!
Richard I did a screen grab of what I'm getting when I do browse to file location while in DS ,and I did a screen grab of the folder when I just open it on the desktop.This is a recent thing,and yes I am useing CMS ,and I've had it act up and keep losing my catagories until I just gave up on catagories ,for the last week it will suddenly shut down for no reason,and I can't find the thread adam has on dealing with it ......
Well there is a plus to all this I got a bunch of house cleaning done,cause the rule here is when frustrated "step away from the computer" .......
edited to add I miss read : No I am not using the DAZ Install Manager(DIM)I have always just manually installed everything.
and here is a screen grab of the Content Directory Service thingy...
Always great to see a vendor that cares about their products and wants to fix things! Too many do the dump and run these days, unfortunately...
OK I refined the rigidity map and yes it was because I didn't know what I was doing then :P Its working perfectly now on Julie and Aiko 5 - and Freak 5 (image by Puntomaus) lol
@ carrie58 : I'm submitting the files to Daz now but I'm happy to send them to you in zip form if you want them straight away. Just let me know :)
Will DAZ let you know when they've posted the update? If so, can you drop a note in this thread when they do? Thanks!
I think so and I will definitely post :)
Oh wow that's great Mada ,no need to send them right away just knowing there is a fix coming is great and I will wait for the update and work around the figure for now,but thank you so much .
I've been informed that the product is updated - you can download the files again :)
Hurray!!! Thank you so much Mada !!
