    load Genesis9 Base Anime Feminine
    delete Genesis9 toon outline

    Export .blend with Rig conversion unreal mannequine rig and Generate FBX file

    After completing export, Genesis 9 Base's eye broken 

     

    If you expand the node Genesis 9 Toon Floating Iris, you'll find the bones under head are all removed, so the rigging of Iris is lost... The exported result in .blend file is also wrong.

    It seems a bug~~ you better fill a ticket. 

    OK :-)

    OK

    Hi,

     

    Sorry if this has been answered before but there's like 30 pages in this thread! I'm having troube viewing Toon figures--they come out al black like a silhouette. The answer seems to be to change the viewport to Filatoon but I don't seem to have that option. I've just--like ten minutes ago--upgraded to Daz 4.23.0.1, and it still isn't there! (also the menu bar seems really tiny for some reason?). Is this a Mac issue?

     

     

    ETA: Did some more Googling and of COURSE it's a Mac issue. Sigh. It's not like Mac is a popular choice in the creative industries or anything...

    Try changing the Environment Weight on all of the materials to something greater than zero. Usually works for me.

    Unfortunately, Filament drawstyle doesn't support Mac ... by now.

    Yes, it is a Mac issue. Daz Studio doesn't support Filament draw style on a Mac. That is why you don't see it in the drop down list.

    Do you know if FilaToon materials are included with https://www.daz3d.com/astaroth-9-toon

    or one need some other add-on?

    On the web page is stated: Daz Studio Iray Material Presets (.DUF) .

    I would think that was a typo.

    Ok, thanks for the answer, Richard.

    I thought the same thing. I reckon it was a missed opportunition, not having a "sawn off horns" option.

    I have a question about g9 anime eye shadow - intensity 1.duf. Which parameter of which node does this duf change: Genesis 9 toon eye socket, Genesis 9 toon floating iris, parameter or surface?
    I searched for a day and could not find it.

    What product is it from? Knowing what product it came with would help identify what it's supposed to change. Although, given the name of the preset being "eye shadow", it sounds like it probably needs to be applied to the character. The fact that it says "intensity" probably means eyeshadow needs to be applied first and then the "intensity" settings would likely adjust the brightness or darkness of the eyeshadow. That would be my guess anyway. :)

    It changes the value in Cutout Opacity slot on the surface of Genesis 9 Toon Shadow Plane, from 1.0 to 0.5. Or if you open this DUF file with Notepad++, you can easily find it.

    Thank you 3Diva.
    It was included in Genesis 9 Starter Essential.

    Thanks Crosswind
    I unzipped the duf file with 7zip and was able to open it with a text editor!
    I have to learn about Genesis 9 Toon Shadow Plane!

    I tried a few presets and didn't really see a difference. What exactly is it supposed to change?

  • crosswindcrosswind Posts: 9,538

    It changes the shadow strength under the upper eyelids of G9 base toon figure.

    Thanks, I'll look more carefully next time in a closeup.

    Has anyone been able to achieve a fog effect or fading depth effect in Filament without a fog prop? Right now I don't know if it's possible but wanted to check to see if anyone has discovered a way to do it without a prop?

    How can you easily just render the line art for a character with Filament / Filatoon?

    It's been a bit, but I think I just made all the surfaces featureless white.

    Intentionally or ?

    It might be a bug in the 4.23 builds: I know they don't like the ShaderMixer "Toon" functions either.
  • Oso3DOso3D Posts: 15,085

    I did it intentionally; I wanted a drawn line sketch look.

    I'm finding it difficult to replicate your effect in Daz 4.23 with FilaToon.

    I’ve just released my first set designed specifically for use with Filatoon in Daz Studio. It’s been a lot of fun exploring this illustrative style, and this is just the beginning—I'm planning to build a whole series of compatible environments and props. Next up will be something "sweet" :D

    If you're experimenting with toon or cel-shaded renders, I’d love to hear how you’re using Filatoon—and how sets like this might help bring your scenes to life.

    You can check out the set here: https://www.daz3d.com/illuminate-for-filatoon

    Can’t wait to see what you create with it!

    I would like some simpler designs in future products, so my character stands out from the environment.

    Thanks for the feedback — I totally understand the appeal of simpler backdrops to let a character shine. Personally I really enjoy creating richly detailed environments, but I also offer some more subtle options in my skybox product that might suit your style better. :)

    Thanks for the link. Yes, that is very appealing to me.
