Saw these mentioned the other day but can't find the forum thread now to ask there of the person who recommended.
Genesis 8 Female Body Morphs

These look great & were on sale, installed via DIM, but where are they? The files are on my system,
D:\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library\data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female\Morphs\DAZ 3D\Body
but where in Daz UI? I don't have a just "Genesis 8" sub heading under People in the Content Library listing. I have a "Genesis" and "Genesis 8 Female" though.

Click the genesis 8 female figure then go to the parameters tab and expand the actor section and the morphs will be listed in there for you to select and dial in or out.
Load up a Genesis 8 Female character then look at the "Shaping Tab" (if you don't have the Shaping Tab docked in your Daz Studio you can add it by going up top to: Window >> Panes >> Shaping -and then dock it under your other Daz Studio tabs).
You'll find the Genesis 8 Female Body Morphs in the shaping tab with a Genesis 8 Female selected. Morphs can be found under Actor >> Full Body >> Real World, Hip >> Real World, Legs >> Real World, etc. :)
LOL, amazing how there are many ways to access and do things in DS. I do everything from the posing/shaping pane. scene, parameters, content library, simulation, render settings, dynamic clothing and surfaces
haha Yeah, there are several ways to do things - just depends on personal preference. I know you can do posing and shaping through the Parameters Tab but that, to me, gets a bit too confusing. I'd rather do shaping adjustments via the Shaping Tab as that, to me, looks organized a bit better and is a bit easier to navigate, imo. :)
Again, just a personal preference.
I have never really used the shaping tab, so just checked it out. For the most part it isn't much different than the parameters tab, but there are a few differences I do like, so I just added that tab to the posing and shaping pane. Thanks for the suggestion.
Yikes! Well, I finally found them but JEEZ. So they're already loaded essentially?
How the F%@& ya suppose to find THAT without some proper, easily accessible documentation?
Just so you know going forward, all the morphs for the genesis figures are like this. I don't think they have had injection files since... well, V4 days? Don't remember for the very first version of Genesis. Shaping files, if any are included, are either typically either just setting a given dial to 1, or they are pose files that set several morph dials to a value and the shape doesn't have a single dial.
Also this may be a helpful resource:

Yeah, like you said they're essential "already loaded", you just need to have the figure selected for them to show up in the Shaping Tab. Pretty much any morph you purchase (be it from a morph pack or a character morph) will be found there once it's downloaded. At least all the Genesis morphs. The only ones that aren't are pretty much just the old figures like V4 or older.
Thanks evryone. That should get me going.
