Using GenX - How do I just transfer just a Head morph from M4 To Gen 3 Male?

I can't figure out how to get just the head morph and not the body.

The .PDF really does not fully explain what to do with the morph check boxes, or how to extract specific targetted morphs.

I am really baffled on how to transfer any Freak 4 or Girl 4 morphs, or how to use this tool with private parts. 

This product really needs some decent, indepth, tutorials. I know it can be useful, but the order of operations is not intuitive. 

Can anyone direct me to any useful tutorials, that could give me a clue on how to use GenX, for doing individual body part transfers, and not the typical, single, full character morph?

Thanks!

JD

    Try posting your question on the Commercial forum for GenX2:

    I personally have had success with transferring morphs from Genesis to Genesis 2.  I assume the steps are the same for all the Genesis characters.  I just recently tried V4 to G2F, but have only succeeded with one full body/head morph.  It looked to me that we are limited by what's provided by the PA's, which is usually a body and a head INJ - and I haven't succeeded with that one yet.

    If we can only transfer head and body inj poses, then presumably we can have every character shape, but none of the base figure shapes where separate head/body inj isn't included (unless I can figure out some way to save the base character shape as it's own separate head and body inj).   I think there must be a way to do this, but just not sure how.  Going to delve back into documentation to try to figure it out...

    There's a way, I've done it. I think I saved as either a CR2 or a character preset and then used that as the target.

    For me at the moment I'm struggling with figuring out how to get Kenji 7 onto a Genesis1.  I can transfer Sasori (a Kenji7 character) with no problems, but since I don't find any head/body inj that's just for the base Kenji, I'm having trouble.  I will have to look into learning how to save a character preset, maybe that will be the key.  Thanks for the tip :)

    I just tried to save V4 as a character preset.  When I tried to load the dsa file, GenX gave me an error message.

    Found the answer, at least to my question (but I think it will apply to the topic of the op too) by researching prior threads on the forum and found where the creator had already answered this on a prior thread:

     

    Dimension3D said:

    Besides "Create single morph" mode, there is also the "Selected morphs" transfer mode. This should work best for morphs like Bethany. All you need to do is to select the Bethany morph in the morph list and transfer it with the "Selected morphs" mode. No need to set values at all.

    BTW the prior thread is here: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/1384251/#Comment_1384251

    I'm sure it contains tons more info, but a quick trial of this function seems to have worked, and I can now dial in Kenji7 on my Genesis1 and get the character (and not just the belly button) to work  :) 

     

    Edit:  just noticed that the belly button morph is the only part of the character shape which *didn't* make the transfer lol, so I guess I'm glad I still have the slider for my prior attempt so I can dial the belly button in too as needed  :)  I do recall there was mention of a belly button fix that might be needed somewhere in documentation, so this is probably why (I'll have to go look) but net effect is I now have Kenji 7 on my Genesis 1...  or perhaps I should redefine it that I now have Kenji 5  :)  

    Now I've just got to figure out what textures might work best on this shape...

    Thanks for the responses guys!

    The reason I'm doing this, is due to the strange way the bodies of the older characters behave post transfer.

    I want just the heads so I can use Gen 3 body shapes so I dont have these strange behaviors, such as pointed feet.
