Diffeo - Morphs for eyelashes no longer working after import?

DrGonzo62

Hi,
Is there a way to adjust the length of G8 eyelashes after import?
Looks like morphs no longer have an effect.

One way is to set the morphs to zero in daz studio then import as custom morphs in blender, this works fine. I also tried as daz favorites but didn't work, however it is expected that daz favorites don't always work and this is what custom morphs are for. Anyway it is now reported to Thomas, in case he has something to add.

update. Daz favorites work fine if we mark them on the eyelashes figure. They don't work if we mark them on the genesis figure where they're an alias.

update. Now fixed in the last commit.

Thanks for looking into this, Padone.

I've finally figured out how to import custom morphs, and for me at least the sliders still don't have any effect.
Are my import settings below incorrect?

You don't have to import Custom Morphs... importing with Daz Favoites always work, neat and quick. But because default Eyelashes Length properties (default value 1.0) on G8 trigger Eyelashes Length morphs (with geometry data...) by AutoFollow on the G8 Eyelashes attachment in DS, you need to:
1) Zero Eyelashes properties on G8 to avoid morph baking. Favorite Eyelashes properties on G8 Eyelahses attachement. (ss 1 ~ 2) 
2) Import the scene with Diffeo by checking Daz Favorites option. Then dial the morph properties in Blender (ss3)

Be noted, if working with G8.1 / G9, you need to firstly dial the eyelash properties on G8.1 / G9 so as to trigger Auto Follow, then favorite the morphs on Eyelahses attachement ~~

Edit: If you want to import Custom Morphs, select Eyelashes mesh, import from the folder: data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male Eyelashes\Morphs\DAZ 3D\Head\ (ss4)  (What you've imported are just control properties on G8 with no geometry data...)

Thanks! This still isn't working for me following your workflow. The sliders have no effect in Blender.
I've noticed in your second image that the eyelashes morphs show up in DAZ when you select the eyelashes mesh.
I only see those 3 morphs when I select the G8 mesh. Not sure how you're able to see them without selecting the base mesh.

Maybe that's what makes it work for you somehow.

Image 2 is those morphs imported as DAZ Favorites, and image 3 is imported as custom morphs.
Morphs were zeroed out prior to export from DAZ.

You need to Show Hidden Properties...

Pls check this short video I just recorded for making Favorite and Custom morphs work . https://mega.nz/file/LWg0lQAB#aCD2ZuVWSkR46dE9GqtYArvoE_C_-nq7rSBl-m7Jk-c

Nice!
Thanks crosswind, that works! And thanks for going through the hassle of posting that video.
You basically Favorite the morphs on the eyelashes mesh, and not on the character mesh.

Brilliant!
