Is there a way to transfer only the morph of the V8 hands and feet on G8F?

Premise: I have already searched in the forum, but I have not found much.

Now, as has been pointed out several times, the hands and feet of G8 are certainly not the best appeared on a Genesis figures, but those of Michael and Victoria are appreciable, so I wondered if there was a way to transfer the morph of hands and feet on a G8 figure without also transferring the rest of the body.

Thanks.

    There's a product in the store called X-Morphs that you should be able to isolate the hands and feet with.

    Hey, thanks for the reply.

    I took a look at X-Morphs some time ago, but unfortunately I'm not interested in it, and it does not seem appropriate to spend $ 40 just to transfer the morph of hands and feet. Also, I'm not even sure if it can be done, and I was hoping for a method using the features of Daz.

    In any case I can do as in movies, and make tight shots when I have to frame hands and feet without including the character in the picture.

    Well that is exactly what x-morphs is created for. There is a thread for the product here. https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/248176/x-morphs-divide-combine-and-save-released-commercial/p1

    However, the one thing that x-morphs cannot do is transfer a HD morph. So if you are talking about the HD morphs for those Vicky and Mike, you cannot do that. It is in fact impossible, as Daz Studio itself locks that out. But x-morphs will isolate base resolution morphs.

    There are other options, though. there are products in the store just for hands, and maybe feet. I cannot locate a G8 version for some reason, but there must be something out there like this for G8 M and F. https://www.daz3d.com/real-hands-hd-for-genesis-3-female-s ;  This would be the easiest solution.

    A third option are certain characters that have their own seperate morphs for these things. For example, Misumi HD https://www.daz3d.com/misumi-hd--signature-smile-hd-expression-for-genesis-8-female has her own feet morph, and this morph is seperate, meaning it can be used on any character. When you look at the store page, you will find all the shapes listed. I cannot think of any characters that have a seperate hand morph, but there are probably a few. I know this isn't a perfect solution, you wouldn't want to buy a character just for that. However, Misumi is quite a nice character, one of the most realistic in the store.

    And one last option could be normal, bump, and displacement maps. These are things that can be transfered by simply changing them in the surfaces tab. A really good bump or normal map could work. The trick will be getting it to blend with the other maps, or there may be a seam between the arm and torso. If you can edit them in photoshop or gimp you can work the features in that way. This can be done for free, but will require editing skill and time.

    outrider42 sorry, I forgot to answer, but in these days I'm quite busy.

    In any case, X-morphs costs a lot, and now I can't buy it. 

    I mean, I use Zbrush, I can create whatever morph I want, but in the case of hands and feet it's different. Hands and feet are very difficult. Even in the traditional art are the most difficult things to do, and spending forty dollars just to transfer the morphs of hands and feet it's exaggerated.

    Ah, I almost forgot. I asked a friend about DeviantArt who shared his work using BJ Misumi's character to send me a picture of the feet. And yes, they are very realistic, but they are also very ugly.

    Thanks for the advice, but I prefer to avoid.

    At some point in September, during the PC+ sale, the entire store goes on 50% off discount for a day or more. Last year, the 50% off sale occurred at least twice during the PC+ sale.

    That's a good time to pick up anything that does not go on sale regularly.
