No one else? I confirm what I said above. It seems to work.
Great product in the main. I've found that it (a) does not like ears if the hat sits too close to them (like a baseball cap) and (b) doesn't look good if the hair has a lot of volume (away from the head), producing an unnaturally sharp cutoff where the feathering morph ends.
However I can confirm that it does indeed work with dforce strand based hair (see pic).
Thanks for the confirmation. I'll get and try it out.
Thanks for the independent confirmation @willowfan
BTW, have you tried extending the feathering distance for the high volume hairs?
Ok, I've purchased it.
I was hoping that the manual would explain the differences between and usage scenarios for the 3 Volume types (Cube, Elipsoid and Cylinder), e.g. when to use what Volume type.
Thanks for the support.
There are no real guidelines on the effects volumes. Use the volume that works best for catching all the hair that you want to affect.
I believe an apology is in order. Tried again with the same hat and hair as was giving me problems yesterday and it looks fine. Below is with feathering at 10.
I must have been doing something wrong as I was getting a sharp cutoff with a noticable angle change even at 10.
Congratulations on a great product.
Not sure why it would have changed so much, but I am really happy you like the product.
Can't get it to work at all, No morph is ever created

Which OS and DS version?
Daz 4.24, OS: MacOS 15.4.1.
Can I see the entire log for the script? I should be seeing what common functions it is pulling in. The snippet you posted indicates that it is getting a wrong node and then cannot find the function it needs. At a guess, did you install via Daz Connect?
Installed Via DIM, Could it be that you require to click on the Hair then the Hat by using the CTRL Key, if so then his operation can't be done on a Mac as Pressing CTRL & Clicking works as a Right Mouse Button (there is no way of disabling this action)

By saying CTRL, I meant you have to select both items before starting the script. I guess it would be holding the option key on Mac? I am still not seeing the entire script execution. It should look something like this:

Use the CMD key instead, it'll work (it's working on my Mac).
Looks like I've figured out why it wasn't working, It seems that if it's not installed into the same Library as your G9 Base Figure (I had it installed into a 2nd library) then it can't locate the required files because it looking locally & not globally.
Oh great! I am glad you figured it out. Thanks for sharing the solution too - hopefully that will help someone someday.
I don't know if I did something wrond while using it with Daz Studio 4.24 on Windows, and I'm not completely sure what cause the problem, but when I tried to use Hat Check with a cylinder (to create morphs for a headset) I encountered a strange behaviour.
If I'm using the slider to change the various scale, then type a numerical number, the scale of the visible cylinder can be reduced a lot and more importantly will be off compared to the one that will be used by the script.
At one point, I ended with the whole hairs being taken into account by the script: while what I saw was a cylinder with a diameter close to the headset ear covers, the script thought it was big enough to cover the whole head.
If feels like typing a numerical value will apply the percentage typed on the current size of the cylinder instead of applying it to the base size.
1. I used the slider to set the X and Z scale at 57.9%:
2. Then, later, I typed 60 and ended with a cylinder smaller that it was at 57.9% (sorry, I didn't think to place the camera in the same position as on the previous screenshot, but the cylinder is smaller):
The first time it happened (the one which ended with the script working on the whole hairs), reseting the value didn't reset the cylinder to it's original scale. I don't remember trying to type a numerical value over 100% to see if it would actually made the visible cylinder bigger though.
The good new is that I read the manual and will track all the morphs loaded on Genesis 9 Dev that are triggering the script to say the figure is not in a zero state
A more practical question: to create a morph for the ear covers of a headest, do you think it's best to do it one ear at a time or both at the same time, with a cylinder going from ear to the other?
I am not sure what is happening. However, I do know that typing a value will often NOT give an immediate change to the script. Typing for some reason will not trigger the same events in the script. The script often has to wait until you change another slider to see the true value of the slider where you typed.
Not sure. Can the headset ear covers be independently changed?
