I'm not really a fan of WOW ears, so I been looking for a more Elven ear like tha Shannara or Lord of the Rings the look like ears not wind traps or wings

I am trying to loearn how to make my own moph/deformers but thats a wee bi off yet, still getting the hang of the software in general. I'm thinking it needs to haveabout 4 sliders, in/out, up/down, and 2 roll/rotate, up/down and in/out, thats if it's working with a current morph, if it's to be standalone then it would need a 5th slider for length.

Forgive that's a guess having play for 5 min so to speak, so as I have been wrong before I could be totllay off the beaten track here and have it ALL wrong

Thanks in advance

    I agree.  I like the Star Trek Vulcan ears too. 

    I have found that I need to blend the morphs from different sets to get the look I want.  So I buy every elf ear morph set available, and have even used GenX 2 to convert ears from one generation to another.  I haven't played around with the G3 ear bundles, though.  These are the ears I make use of:

    DD Resource: Ears (This is a Genesis 1 product and will need to be converted.  Besides having a simple ear morph, some of the combinations look great).
    https://www.daz3d.com/dd-resource-ears

    EarMatters Bundle (G2F, G2M.  This is my favorite bundle and has some very nice normal ear morphs.  They will need to be converted to G3).
    https://www.daz3d.com/earmatters-bundle-for-genesis-2-female-s-and-genesis-2-male-s

    These two Genesis / V4 characters have some nice ear morphs too.

    I liked that show yeah they are different to wow most people would think towards more that now more than even LOTR or others well there are a lot of of different products here that contain sevaral types of ear morphs and at first many look the same but Sickleyield has one that yes there are wow ears but there are some closer to Warhammer/WH40,000, LOTR, and Shannara style ears Fantastical Features Genesis 3 Male in Vendor, Sickleyield, 3D Models by Daz 3D

    Thank you guys, while the to above look like they'd work I would hold for a little but keep them in mind till I learn how to do stuff like convert and edit stuff from version to version. I have items I can't use allready becuse I don't have the right body, (bit of a trap for use noobs). I brought because it had Gen3 on it but did not realize that it also needed a char model to work, I did get the bottom Gen 3 one tho thank for that pointer

    I like what I see here but will wait a little till I learn how to convert/edit stuff to update it and maybe make de-formers too. I have brought stuff I can't use cause I don't have the right body, seeing it is for Gen 3 is not the only thing I need to look for I found, need to check what char body too.

    I brought the https://www.daz3d.com/fantastical-features-genesis-3-male  and  https://www.daz3d.com/fantastical-features-for-genesis-3-female-s  for the time being

    Love the Moko BTW,

    I started using Kia ora as a greeting to save folk in the US greeting with "Hi Kiwi hows things in Aussie?" and getting upset when I said "how would I know" I live in New Zealand, we'er stopping Aussie slipping of the planet

    Let 'er slide I say. No damn use ta nobody any hows.

    PS ANGELREAPER1972 up above is a no account tazzie bushwacker cheeky

    The drawback of greeting the average yank or pom with "kia ora" is they're liable to think you're offering an orange drink.

    I have a couple of characters that required the base (Monique, Kronos, Darias).  However, I didn't want the base characters.  So I used a  picture of Monique and dial-spinned until I had a reasonable likeness and saved that as a shape preset.  I can now load V6, my Monique 6 preset, and now I can load FWSA Tamara on top of that and she looks good.

    Morphing your own characters takes a little practice, but is really fun.  I rarely use a character right out of the box without making changes.  Here's a tutorial I did on dial spinning:

    That would not be allowed under the Daz 3D EULA.

    Ah yes fine for your own use,   But not to be re-distributed.  Even the Game dev licenses do not allow game mods.   but as long as it is only on your own HD  it is fine.

    Will it convert to Gen 3? most of what I have is for Gen 3 or maybe they did a Gen 3 Version

  • Pack58Pack58 Posts: 750

    G3F comes with autofit clones for G2F clothing so should fit ok. If you want to fit to G3M you may need something  like https://www.daz3d.com/wear-them-all-autofitting-clones-and-clothing-smoothers-for-genesis-3-male-s

    I don't have the set you're asking about so can't test exactly how well it transfers.

    No worries mate, thanks for the reply, jus gotta watch the penies not the Key and English put %15.5 on all this stuff, money for jame for those guys

  • dracorndracorn Posts: 2,353
    I know what you mean by watching your pennies... Then one of the PA's puts out something really cool and your money just flies out of your hand... Darn those guys. =o) I specialize in G2, so I don't have the G3 autofit. I can tell you that when it converts to G1, some of the buckles on the back hover away from it, like they are suspended in air. Worse comes to worse, if you can't get it to convert satisfactory, you can always return it.
