When first trying to install Faceshop 14 pro. I got a odd msg. After reading, watching several instal videos i gaind some ground. But now i get the " cant se" msg. Hours of trying to figure this out has left me frustrated beyond belefe. A simple picture showing me where the main " Headshop plugin" folder would help. Also after updating to the latest version of Daz i se there is no " DazStudio4" folder. It dumps the entire program into my " programFile86- Daz folder. Plz knote i do not have internet ava for my laptop wich is a 2011 Dell Windows7. So im forced to download everything using my cellphone Stylo6 and transfering files from it. Your time ans attention to this matter will not only help me but many others in my situation. Thanks.

well if its just a shape transfer using morphs I am not sure if it really counts a a rip

I do this too using Zprojection in Zbrush to make clone shapes for my own use, I have for the Unreal Metahumans so I can match up DAZ clothes to them, HW3D figures, iClone CC figures as I only have iC6 you name it, I have even done a Skyrim clone shape, I don't distribute anything, it's just morph shaping on the DAZ mesh and for me, mostly Facegen for the textures using Nifskope to render front and side Skyrim character headshots for example.

One could use face transfer too or Headshop, most games have a screenshot function

Joneinen, thanks for the comments and the comparison artwork. I tried the image myself (see below).

In general, texture maps seem to work the same, maybe FaceGen somewhat better with frontal images.

The main difference in HeadShop's favor is twofold:

1. Open smile (which this image does not have)

2. Face Topo (which the image has)

We also tried to run some comparisons, you can see more in this video: https://youtu.be/qAn3ehnMhio

Best,

Laslo

Hi. Just to give an update, I did have a Skype call with Abalone and we got Headshop Oneclick 2022 working. I have been trying it out for several days now but I am not really satisfied with the results of the head morphs. It doesn't seem to be really capturing the unique shapes from the photos of people, like jaw, nose, lips, etc. The face shape is very generic which was disapointing because I was really counting on Headshop's ability to work with difficult photos like tilted head or open smile. The textures don't turn out well either, particularlly with darker skintones. Which I figured I could always use other textures or do a lot of editing in photoshop. But with the actual head shape coming out generic, I get much better results with Facegen and Facetransfer in that department. Gives me something really unique and good to start with and then I can edit further with my morphs I have in Daz library. Facegen actually has turned out to be the best product in terms of textures and head shape so I'll be sticking with that.

The program also quickly gives erros after making just one morph, on the next one it says it has run out of memory, even after restarting Daz. This program just doesn't work as smoothly as my other plugins.

I am attaching examples of the result from the same photo from each Oneclick and Facegen, plus the orginal photo. The one from Facegen used textures straight from the program, no photoshopping. I did switch out the eye texture for one from my library (I always do this no matter the plugin) and I increased some bump maps, thats it. For the one from Oneclick this is rendered straight out of the box, no changes to textures except using eyes from my library, no adjustments of the morphs except the creases and lines I added within Oneclick with autosculpt.

As for Oneclick 2022 unfortunately I will be asking Daz for a refund. The resulting morphs and textures just wasn't worth the price when I can get much better results with other plugins. I appreciate the help from Abalone but I need a better working product.

Thank you for the update.

Glad you got it working and at least had a chance to see how it would work for you. And yes, that's the beauty of shopping at Daz3D, if it doesn't work out within 30 days of purchase, we can delete the product from our computers and ask for a refund. I tend to ask for refunds in the form of store credits - tends to be faster and easier to do and we all know we'll spend it!

For "starting" textures I've found Face Transfer to be my favourite of the Face morphing plugins. I'll use an image editor to frame and/or edit the photo [make it straight etc] and then click and poof, one face texture!

We had a skype call with joneienleah  (Oslo) and resolved issue. The problem was identified exactly as no installed C://User/Public/Public Documents/My DAZ 3D Library\Runtime\FaceShop\fs\SmoothedModel\Textures folder. After we created the folder, program worked fine. 

As for the "moprher" folder, this folder supports "LoveChild", which is not included in OneClick, only in HeadShop 13, 14.

So I was finally able to figure out fixing the UI of the program, but I didn't get much further than that. Once I loaded the photo the error "Daz Model Not Found" pops up. Again not sure what this means as I started with a Gen 8 Female in my workspace before starting Oneclick 2022. I click okay. Then I click apply and the "Unhandled Exception" pops up that other people are getting. Only my says "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: fileName". No idea what this means. I also tried adding the textures folder as mentioned above but still got the same error message.

I clicked continue to see what would happen. It goes to the next screen where I get another error message "Value cannot be null. Parameter name: image" and there is a red X where the image I uploaded should be.

I also wish there were instructions more specific for Oneclick as opposed to just Headshop 14. Some of the instructions for install are not exactly the same for Oneclick. For example I did not have a "morpher" folder in my zip file. Also when I start up the program the settings in the dialog box are not the same. Attached is an image of this dialog box. There is no explaination if I should or can change the morph/texture name and should/can I change the percent morph value from the default 70%.

I think I need assistance from the creators of this product, it seems to be very buggy.

1. Could try manually downloading the zip(s) and checking them to see if there is a morpher folder because I suspect there should be.

2. If you have purchased less than 30 days then you can ask for a refund.

3. Sending you a PM with the creator's email ;-)

I just purchased Headshop Oneclick 2022. I had no issues installing it however the interface is completely unusable. Everything is overlapping. I was able to randomly click on a space and load an image, but the button to move on to the next steps is not there. Here are screen shots. I believe it has to do with my high resolution screen. Normally  I would go into explorer and right click and change the properties of an app to override the high resolution settings, but I can't seem to do this sinc it is a plugin. Can someone help? This program will be completely unusable if the interface remains like this.

Also right after I load the image and error message pops up saying "Daz Model Not Found". When I click okay it goes away but since it is unusable now I don't if I will get further errors if I ever get to continue past loading the photo.

Please help!

i have no clue on whats happening here at all. ann i could find it that the directory names arent the same. 

for headshop 14 

Make the folder(s) as I said in my previous post.

You're welcome.

I just went through having my laptop "reset" so had to do a reinstalll of HeadShop 14 which is similar to the One Click.

So for anybody else dropping in, as well as following the install instructions for either program:

Make this folder - the plugin does not make non-existent folders.
C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\Runtime\FaceShop\fs\SmoothedModelTextures

Be sure to tuck the new textures into another folder BEFORE running the script again. The new textures will overwrite the old ;-)

Is there a thread that exists were issues with this particular plug-in are discussed? Can't seem to find it in the search and wondering if someone experienced with these forums can provide me with the link to it?

 Yes, the thread is right here ;-)

Hope this helps:

If you are referring to:   https://www.daz3d.com/headshop-oneclick2022

These are for the previous edition. They tend to be similar.

 

Hopefully you'll find an answer in these, if not: hopefully Abalone LLC  will drop by and offer you his Skype info for support.

Just to give more information, I am using a macbook pro, my system is macOS High Sierra version 10.13.3. My dazstudio is Version 4.10.0.123 Pro Edition (64-bit).

The locations of my headshop files are shown in the pictures. Essentially, I tried csrutil disabling, but my headshop still gives the same error: "Headshop closed before nessecary files could be created" 

I have the same problem with Macbook Pro, system Mojave 10.14.1 and dazstudio is Version 4.10.0.123 Pro Edition (64-bit). All the files are on the right place and csrutil disable, but get the error  "Headshop closed before nessecary files could be created" . HELP please!!!!

Just bought Headshop 9.2 in the sale. Get the same error whatever I do. Is the developer still around and any remedy in the works? On High Sierra and latest DAZ Studio.

Yes, the developer is around:-) Please download the attached file and override Mac security (Steps 4-6).

I'm having the same error except I'm on Windows 10. Is there a solution for this ?I just purchase this plugin and it's unusable at the moment.

Bringing up a forum thread that is years old is not the best way to get attention. Starting your own thread including the name of the product you are having problems with is more likely to draw attention of others who have it too.

But since we're here now, normally error messages appear because there are files either put into the wrong places, or simply missing. For a missing folder, make the folder and plant it where the plug-in is looking for it. For proper placement of files, there is normally a detailed .pdf file included ... and some videos either from the product page or findable over on Youtube.

If it's a security matter with Mac ... then I would suggest contacting the vendor because he does provide support.

But I notice that you're using Windows, so there shouldn't be a security issue, unless it's that .exe running on Desktop error message in which case you ask it for more info and then okay the running.

Skyrim honestly it's easier to do front and side renders in Nifskope and then use Facegen or something 

the clothing too, just render a nice big front and back image and texture something with that.

I am sure other game models could be rendered elsewhere a similar way for textures and Facegen, Face transfer, Headshop etc

Ah yes, I knew there was a method I'd used but was forgetting. Rendering or taking a snapshot of the front (and sides if needed), then using Face Transfer, FaceGen or Headshop to create the head morph. That could definitely work for the OP, as long as they don't need great accuracy.
