Using Gen 8 Female Head Morph on a Gen 8 Male Body - Possible?

sjaammonssjaammons Posts: 185

https://www.daz3d.com/sasuke-for-sakura-8 To better describe what I need, I've been in need of a male anime model to go along with the FANTASTIC Sakura 8 model but sadly there's no Gen 8 model equivalent (yet)

the above linked Sauske model's head is what I'm looking for but since it's tied to the Gen 8 female my morphing options are limited to skinny/androgenous pretty boys and the morphing only highlights thay it's a female model more. So I wanted to ask, is there a trick in Daz, or a for sale morph/program on the Daz store that will let me use Gen 8 Female heads with Gen 8 males body? I tried doing it with "filter all relevant items" off but no dice. Many thanks!

    Have you tried to rename the genesis 8 female folder to genesis 8 male? Not sure if this wil work in this case. For using UV maps this can do the trick so maybe here it will as well.

    That would have worked for Genesis 2, but not 8. There are a couple of ways to do the transfer, but I don't have time to explain now.

    When you have a chance can you? It would greatly help me.

    It’s not so simple as it might seem. Firstly, those custom Sakura eyes won’t work on G8M. Secondly, to get ‘matching’ textures, you’ll need the uv swap product so G8M can wear the Sakura/Sasuke skins.

    It might be easier to transfer some masculine morphs to G8F. This can be done, but requires numerous steps.

    It's possible if you add the Basic Male morph for Genesis 8 Female (Transgender Genesis 8).

     

    Once you're satisfied by the result, you can try to transfer this G8F male to G8M.

  • Even though this is old a couple of people (I'm one) did make a male moprh for Sakura to give her a male counterpart. Only saying this allthis time later for anyone else who might find this thread.

    Well I suppose I'm still interested, since most of the recent exaggerated G8 Males have just been toons and not anime-ish. Is it on Daz or somewhere else?

    Hello~here is my way to use Sasuke morph on Genesis 8 male~

     

    1.Export Obj of Genesis 8 female with morph.( Revolution turns to 0 )

    2.Export Obj of Genesis 8 male.( Revolution turns to 0 )

    3.Retopo the female as the male in Maya. Only a few faces in chest are different betwwen male and female characters. You could copy a female obj, then make it live, using Quad Draw in maya could  be  efficient. It will be easy for you to draw lines by attaching a UV Shot of male obj as a texture to female obj.

    4.Transfer vertex order from male obj to female in Maya.

    5.Now you can export the new Obj ,use Morph Loader Pro in Daz to make a new morph for Genesis 8 male.
