Issue with HD Essentials Micro Bend for Genesis 9

takezo_3001

The ad says:"This set includes a series of automatic corrective morphs that refine joint bending and articulation, ensuring smoother transitions and more lifelike deformations."

So, can anyone tell me where the automatic corrective controller is hiding?

Otherwise, I would be forced to use the library's hundreds of minute, morphs for every joint bend, which can be extremely tedious to scour the library for the suitable morph, then click on each seperate item to match up with my pose.

I say would be, if I wanted to bother with that tediousness instead of actually getting to enjoy creating...

Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance.

I don't have it, and the name of the file may not help you all that much, but according to the readme, this file is a likely candidate:

/data/Daz 3D/Genesis 9/Base/Morphs/Luthbellina/Micro Bend/CTRL_MicroBend.dsf

If you open that file (easiest way would be to download the package from daz3D.com, then extract it and search for the file), look for the name field and it should give you which name to search for in the list of G9 parameters.

Usually, Daz doesn't compress dsf or duf files, so you should be able to open it without any text editor capable of opening basic text files.

Hi,

The automatic corrective morphs are hidden properties and activate automatically based on the joint bend angle, so you do not need to apply them manually.

If you'd like to see or adjust them, you can find them in the Hidden Properties section. Alternatively, the active corrective morphs will appear under Currently Used, which is often the easiest way to locate them.

The visible morphs included in the product are optional enhancements designed to accentuate specific details and refine the deformation further when needed. You can also access many of these adjustments through the included Properties Presets, which provide a quicker workflow.

The set also includes a MicroBend control under Actor > HD Essentials, which allows you to disable all auto-apply corrective morphs at once.

I hope this helps clarify things. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the info, my  mistake is that I was looking for that in the parameter settings, so thanks for pointing this out, as it will make future searches much easier!

Indeed it's of magnificent help for me, especially since I'm on a crap laptop as I have my character's mesh resolution at the base level so I did not see the morphs themselves!

The microbend control location is key as I have a multitude of correction and enhancement morphs, andas such I have to know which ones to switch off, or on depending on the character, that, and it allows me to make my own corrective morphs, FOR the corrective morphs! :^D

Thanks a lot for your response and info, it is very much appreciated!

EDIT: It looks like the morphs are not firing off properly, as I checked and there are no morphs being activated, so it must be a conflict with some other of my corrective morphs, I'll have to uninstall them to find out which one is the culprit...

EDIT:I got them working, I apparently did not have the full G9 essentials installed! :^P
