Question about HD Add-On

Posts: 2,983
I was wondering about these things and how they work. They seem to be for individual characters ( Victoria, Lilith, Gia etc). So can you get an HD effect if you use it with a character based on the base characters that are not already HD? (Hye for Mei Lin 7, Briley for Gia 7,or CC Reagan for Rune 7) or are they just for the base characters like Gia, Lilith, Victoria, The Girl so on. If so then are there HD options for the Genesis 3 base?

I don't think there is a HD moprh for the Base Genesis 3 Female but there was recently a product with very detailed displacement maps I think that really added a lot of detail to the model.
As for the HD Add-ons I think they simply work best with the character they are made for.
The closest I've seen to an HD morph for the Genesis 3 Female is the Brooklyn HD character. It is a DAZ Original I think and doesn't require Victoria 7 or any of the other characters except Genesis 3 Female. However, I filed a bug in March or April regarding Victoria 7, Brooklyn HD 7, and Girl 7 crashing DAZ Studio 4.9 when one tries to fit Genesis 2 Female clothing to them that hasn't been resolved yet. I'm not sure which character alone or what combination of installed characters is causing that but it doesn't happen with fitting Genesis 2 Male clothing to Genesis 3 Male characters.
Personally, I feel, for the HD effects I've tried and when they are dialed all the way in, they are 'too much' and make the character look unrealistic and often look anatomically incorrect.
It's hit and miss as to how well the HD addons work. Ivan7HD works great with the base G3M male and other shapes. Ultimate Natural for V7 only works with base G3F if you remove limits from the sliders and increase the morph to over 300%, and even then it isn't perfect (I try to use V7 as the base body if I plan on using them). To be honest, V7HD works with G3F, but some things like nostril creases don't align properly with the G3F base shape. There are other HD morphs that tend to be localised and work on all shapes. The Aging Morphs for G3F/M work on everything and are a very useful asset for imperfections even at low settings.
Thanks everyone for clearing it up for me.

I've haven't seen this behavior. If fact my version (4.9.2.70) of Studio hasn't crashed on anything. I don't have Brooklyn HD, but I have a huge number of Genesis 3 HD and non-HD characters that fit Genesis 2 clothes fine. Some fit better than others, but none crash Studio.
Well here is the text instructions I made for DAZ 3D to replicate the still open bug I reported. My laptop now has 16GB RAM rather than 8GB RAM. I am now running DAZ Studio 4.9.2.70.
So I re-tested the DAZ Studio crash bug as I wrote in the instructions to them to retest with the latest version of DAZ Studio release & I get no crash bug. Are they expecting me to come back and test their bug fixes without notifying me they have fixed the bug? The bug is still marked as open. I guess I could initiate the closing of the bug since it is now fixed.
I do have a new bug but it is related to the latest DAZ Studio latest Beta and I'm not scene if scene files are backward compatible now with the iRay Rendering changes they've made.

OK, I've turned off the Customer Improvement Program and reduced the number of steps needed to replicate the bug.
The bug happens with both Optiplex checked & unchecked so it must be something else.
0. Start DAZ Studio 4.9.1.30
1. Load Brooke
2. Dial to 0% Victoria 7's Body
3. Dial to 100% the Girl 7's Body
4. Dial to 100% the Girl 7
5. Load the Captain Cupcake Jacket on Brooke that looks like Girl 7
5. a. (Autofit - Genesis 2 Female - Shirt)
6. Load the Captain Cupcake Skirt on Brooke that looks like Girl 7
6. a. (Autofit - Genesis 2 Female - Pants)
7. DAZ Studio Crashes
As I said both Optiplex & the Customer Improvement checkboxes are unchecked and also if I load the original Girl 7, this doesn't happen. It seems related to starting with Brooke.
By the way, I just tested this with Victoria 7 and the same thing happens. I dial out Victoria 7's body, dial in Girl 7's body and dial in Girl 7 and then the 2nd article of clothing I try to put on the character causes DAZ Studio to crash. Other articles of clothing from the Callie 6 Pro Bundle will also cause this crash.
