Request fot future DAZ builds - 8.1 expression controls

jdavison67

Can we add a filter so that, when selecting a Genesis 8.1 character, that expressions dials, that work, with that character, are differentiated clearly?

I waste so much time trying to figure out which expression dials actually work, with that character.

Moved to product suggestion as it is not a Daz Studio application related issue. This is more of a content issue in how the PA sets up the dials.

Do you mean presets? Or are you wanting to filter products?

When I click on a 8.1 character head, and then select the pose tab I see pose controls for both Genesis 8 and Genesis 8.1.

I would like to only see the pose options compatble with the character I click on. Wading through options that don't work with the 8.1 character is a bit frustrating. I mess with lots of sliders that do nothing on that character.

Note: my runtime is huge, so I have lots of expressions and sliders to go through.  8.1 is not really segregated from 8 and it's not always beneficial. 

Maybe the easiest solution would be to have a big (8.1) included in the slider names.

Well, you can enable the 8 sliders on 8.1 - but it will lengthen the list, increase the complexity of the links between properties, and if you use a preset for one it may not clear a previous expression for the other. It just involves removing one folder from the /data/Daz 3D/Genesis 8/[Male|Female]/morphs/folders, as I recall, though the instructions are posted fairly frequently.
