The image below shows how my Genesis 8 figure looks like.

I dont know what happens but i don't know how to fix this. I reinstalled Geneses 8 essentials but that did not the trick.

Any advise will be welcome because now all my G8 figures look bad.

    There was a problem with character "James for Christian 8", it was applying automatically by default.

    IIRC it has been fixed and you just need to reinstall this character.

    This seems to be a fairly frequent problem: https://direct.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/2976776/#Comment_2976776

    In this case, Leana is probably right in that it might be the James for Christian 8 character that may be set up, accidentally, to be dialled in by automatically with G8M.

    It's not just a Genesis 8 thing, I've seen several threads on this with G3 figures (as the one linked above) and even G2 figures.

    ..haven't experienced any such issues with G2 or G3.

    ....it's also usually PA characters that do this not DO.

    That doesn't mean that others haven't. I've seen several threads on this:

    Here are some my posts about this issue.

    [Quote]: Genesis 8 figures keep loading with some kind of pre-applied morph.... I am losing my mind here

    The morphs can also be hidden ones maybe you can't see them.

    There is a setting called Show Hidden Properties in the Parameters pane Option Menu (that is the lined button on top of the pane) check if its on to also see hidden morphs (properties).

    After Edit>Figure>Zero>Zero Figure the genesis figures should look default again. Zero Shape will only affect shapes but we can't be shure the author of the false morphs was smart enougth to set the morph type to Modifier/Shape in the Parameter Settings dialog. I have seen a few morphs without any type set, only zero figure will reset them I guess.

    Then also use Edit>Figure>Memorize>Memorize Figure this will set all zeroed morphs (properties) to be zero by default.

    If you didn't do anything else than the two things above with the figures you can also try:

    File>Save As>Support Asset(s)>Save Modified Assets to save the morph changes to zero and default zero to the affected morphs in the library.

    The Save Modified Assets will show a dialog and lists every morph and asset in the scene that has been modified and gets updated by confirming. If possible you could make a screenshot of this dialog that could help others to identify those troublesome morphs.

    Tell us if its working. Shure it will help with the morphs that are on by default (common issue). I'm only concerned about the figure settings that may be set to zero but should be set to something else. On Genesis 3 figures the Navel and the Teeth HD was on by default so even Daz released morphs that where set on by default. I'm not shure about something simmilar with the Genesis 8 figures right now.

    Check the Mesh Resolution settings in the Parameters pane here are the default values Resolution Level: High Res, SubDivision Level: 1, Render SubD Level: 2 if those settings didn't have changed with Zero Figure its all good. If they have changes set them back to default and use Save Modified Assets once more.

    OK I've just checked my default Genesis 8 Female/Male and yes beside of Render SubD Level that falls back to default 1 there are three Eyelashes morphs that are on by default and gets zeroed:

    • Render SubD Level: 2
    • Eyelashes Curl
    • Eyelashes Length Lower
    • Eyelashes Length Upper

    Turn them up to 100% then Save Modified Assets and you have your Genesis 8 figures back to default without installing the starter essentials again.

    If you're having problems with Alistair loading at full strength when he shouldn't, you need to download him again and reinstall. That issue was fixed months ago, so you shouldn't be seeing it now.
