Morphs Loader pro problems
V8 Infinite
Posts: 31
Hello, I wanted to create a morph for a piece of clothing. As usual, I use Morphs Loader Pro.
I import the morph, and everything is fine.
The dialog box tells me that the morph has been created successfully.
Problem: It doesn't create the tab where it's located... or the tab is empty...
The morph in question is called "Expand All" and I can't display it. Its data is correctly entered but invisible in Daz.
I rename it to "Expand Toes" and it displays correctly.
Is this a tab settings issue?
Does the latest update not like "official" names, which could conflict with certain morph creation extensions in particular? (I have Fit Control)
Thanks

By tab do you mean the 'Morph Loader' path? Did you search all such "tabs" for the morph by name?
I assume you already have "Expand All" on the outfit so you are just overwriting the existing Expand All. I believe Expand All is added by default if you use one of the G9 templates for Transfer Utility.
The tab I'm creating (Actor, Morph Loader, or other) is present but empty.
No, the garment in question doesn't have any morphs (Fit Control hasn't been launched or anything else on this garment).
I think it must be a conflict in the name "Expand All," since I renamed it something else and no problem, the tab is created with the morphs in it...
Well, I specifically asked this question for a reason: "Did you search all such "tabs" for the morph by name?". If you have something in search bar blocking loading, then you wont see all morphs.
The reason you might see Expand Toes but not Expand All could be because you have the letter T, O, or S in the search bar.
You dont have to "load fit control" to have morphs added. If using G9 default templates, they get automatically added in Transfer Utility. Apparently it is called "body_bs_ExpandAll" rather than "Expand All" though.
Oh, okay, thanks, I didn't know. I'm not very familiar with the G9, but I'll find out in the future.
The garment in question is made for a G8F.
What is the name of OBJ file ? or what is the Name that you speficy in Morph Loader Pro (MLP) ?
What do you mean by "tab" ? I suppose you mean Path in DS > Parameters pane, like what I highlighted in below (screenshot 1)
Expand All ( both Name and Label are named as Expand All ) is a morph coming from Fit Control for G8F. (The vendor should've given it a prefix... like fc_)
If this morph is dialed on G8F, after you rig a garment with Transfer Utility on G8F, a hidden morph of Expand All will be automatically created on the garment (by Auto Follow). Then if you import a morph to the garment with a same Name: Expand All plus the option: Overwrite Existing > Deltas Only. The hidden Expand All morph property on the garment will be overwriten. Since it's hidden as default, you have to turn on Show Hidden Properties... to find it in Parameters pane.
Pls check if it's the case you have ...
Then I'm a bit confused... you said you can't display it but how could you rename it ? You did it with Show Hidden Properties...turned on, I suppose.
Not an issue to me... Well, you have to understand how a product operates and what morphs are within that Product, i.e. Fit Control. All the morphs from Fit Control for G8F are firstly activated on G8F rather than the conformers (fitted garments, accessories, etc..), then because those morpsh are set as Auto Follow, so the corresponding morphs will be automatically created by Auto Follow on the fitted garments. You have no way to manually "launch" or dial them on the garments ~~ (screenshot 2)
So, in principle, do not use the same name of Expand All if you've triggered Fit Control morphs, instead, give it a dedicated name that is not in Property List otherwise there'll be some problems...
Please excuse my poor English, I'm using a translator.
"What is the name of the OBJ file? Or what is the name you're looking for in Morph Loader Pro (MLP)?"
I'm a PA, and this is a new article I created and integrated into Daz today.
"What do you mean by 'tab'? I assume you mean Path in the DS Settings pane >, like what I highlighted below (screenshot 1)."
Yes, that's right, again, forgive the translation XD
"Expand All (the name and label are named Expand All) is a morph from Fit Control for G8F. If this morph is enabled on G8F, once you rig a garment with the Transfer Utility on G8F, a hidden Expand All morph will be automatically created on the garment (via auto-tracking). Then, if you import a morph onto the garment with the same name: Expand All plus the option: Replace existing deltas of > only. The hidden Expand All morph property on the garment will be overwritten. Since it's hidden by default, you need to enable the Show hidden properties... option to find it in the Settings pane.
Check if this was the case when you have..."
Ah okay, like a ghost morph... I didn't know, that's where the problem comes from then, there's a duplicate and an error.
"Then, I'm a little confused... You said you couldn't display it, but how could you rename it? That's what you did with Show Hidden Properties... turned on, I guess."
I renamed it directly from the source in ZBrush and reimported it cleanly.
"That's not a problem for me... Well, you need to understand how a product works and what morphs are in that product, i.e., fit control. All Fit Control morphs for G8F are first activated on G8F rather than on conformers (fitted garments, accessories, etc.), and then because these morphs are defined as Auto Follow, the corresponding morphs will be automatically created by Auto Follow on the fitted garments. You have no way to "throw" them or manually compose them on the garments ~~ (screenshot 2)
So, in principle, don't use the same name as Expand All if you've triggered Fit Control morphs. Instead, give it a dedicated name that isn't in the property list, otherwise there will be problems..."
Yes, I'm aware that Fit Control is applied on G8F and then passes the morphs to the garment.
Thanks for the info, so the error came from the fact that an "Expand All" already existed in the settings... I will be for the future, thanks again !
Yeah, I know you are a PA and come from France. Enchanté ! I'm fond of the products that you've made ! I ever bought a few of them in your store on Renderhub.
Okay, I understand how it was going on now. Just as you said in your last sentence, you nailed it, that was the root cause !
No problem !
Haha, amazing !
I still have a lot to learn, I'm still just a beginner PA.
Thanks again !
The article in question :
You're welcome ~ And they look nice !
No problem, just take it easy ~ You've already done pretty well !
Merci encore !
