The store has better search now at least so maybe better organization in the app is coming too? 

Will there be a new Daz measure metrics and growing up morphs if current plugins don't work? 

DAZ Measure Metrics is a Daz Original script, so hopefully that should be updated for DS 5.

Measure Metrics is a DO and a plug-in; Figure metrics is a script and a PA item

Growing Up, like many other Genesis morph packs should all work without any update needed. It is only scripts and plug-ins that will be potentially broken in DS 5.

Is it happening with the very base G8M? If it's a morphed figure, this can happen because of a morph with bad rigging that rotates the eyes' axes.

Recently, I tried applying an item of clothing to G8F, only to find the item type dropdown menu (the one labelled "what type of item is it?") greyed out, even though the list of clones for each figure is still available.I had been experimenting with the utility transfer tool recently, porting morphs between figures, so I suspect this maybe had something to do with it?  This only happens on the two or so figures I've done this with, other G8F seem to work just fine. I want to know if there is a quick workaround, as I don't want to have to reload a whole new figure and go through the proccess of reloading all the morphs again, etc. 

It sounds like you are doing everything correctly and that there is a problem with Leopold. Since I don't own him, I am guessing, but you could try this:

1. Select Leopold in the Scene pane
2. In the Parameters pane, click on Currently Used.
3. Look for something like Leopold Body in the list of used morphs. Try to find the body morph and not just an overall Leopold controller morph.
4. Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the selected body morph. The gear might be very hard to see, depending on your workspace style colors. As your cursor hovers over it, it should become more visible.
5. Select Parameter Settings
6. Make sure there is a check mark next to the Auto Follow setting.

You could try submitting Technical Support a help request to customer service, but the response time seems to have become very long again, like weeks.

Maybe someone who owns Leopold will see this forum thread and come to your rescue.

If you just can't get him to work, you can submit a Refund help request (same link as above) within 30 days of purchase and request a refund.

Hi,

I would really appreciate the best advise to transfer LOADS of content from my Win 7 pc to a brand new win 10 machine.

Also, is there a program free or other wise that can export the info for my G8F OCs also G3M OCs that transcribes all the morphs, FBM, character morphs, maybe even textures used with these characters, etc. so I can at least know what morphs, characters I need to install.

Thank you.

What is 'best' is subjective ;-)

Get yourself a nice big external harddrive.
Then bit by bit, copy the files from W7 to it.
When done, use the remove safely hardware option and/or shut down that computer.
Then open W10 and plug the harddrive into it.
Tell D/S where to look for the content.

Allegedly there may be a cord that could be attached from one computer to another, making one the master the other the slave, and copy files over that way. However I'm not that much of a computer Geek so not recommending it. W7 and W10 are not likely to play nicely with each other ;-)

In case anybody else is having this problem:

I added an ERC Multiply for FBM_ToonMom to the faulty morph in the Property Hierarchy, saved out the corrected morph as a Morph Asset, and replaced the one in "data/DAZ 3D/Genesis 8/Female/Morphs/joequick/toonmom". I tested it and it works fine now.

Hopefully Daz/JoeQuick can push a fix relatively quickly.

How does it look with the base shape? That could be the effect of morph projection, though they'd be rather untidy morphs if so.

GiGi_7 suggested moving up to G8(.1) which makes no sense in this case because G8+ aren't likely to ever get a Gen3 UV map.

It is (at least theoretically) possible to port those UV products to G8.

Theoretically anything is possible in 3D... But we gotta "face reality" (c) =D 

There are geografts in there, some are "extra" and can be removed sans any penalty, like the transmapped brows etc, but some are pretty much essential, as they "shift" the seams. I suspect those were introduced because UV reprojection failed otherwise. G8 would likely need a similar set... and geografts are this very DS-specific feature with enough quirks of their own, so I for one don't feel like investing time into studying them.

 I have the theory that Millennium 3 skins can be projected from UV-Millennium 3 to UV-Genesis 3 using blender and Cayman UV Legacy products. Once projected, this skin could be converted again by mat transfer from Genesis 8 to Genesis 8.1 (A genesis 3 skin can works directly on genesis 8). There is a tutorial to project from Genesis 2 (or something like that) to Genesis 3, it would be interesting to test if instead of Genesis2 UV a Genesis 3 Legacy UV can be used. In particular, I don’t think it’s worth transforming any of the old textures from millennium 3, there are enough realistic or stylized Genesis 8 skins to replace these, but if anyone wants it, I think that would be the way to explore.

The morph "mcm_toonmom_BrowDown" is supposed to have an ERC Multiply on it so it's only dialed in when Toon Mom is, but it doesn't. It gets applied when I move any G8F brow, giving the figure a cavewoman forehead. Normally I'd just uninstall the offending product, but I don't want to divorce the Toon Family.

I uninstalled and reinstalled looking for an update, but no such luck.

I already applied the ERC Multiply in the Property Hierarchy to fix it. I'm just not sure how to fix the asset files in a way that won't cause complications later--such as if an update is released. The whole Property Hierarchy system looks like a house of cards to me. One wrong move, and it all comes tumbling down.

Maxx's skin is great for sure, but before I got the Brute, I noticed that Maxx's morph had some weird bumps on his sternum. I'll render it out shortly.

Apologies in case I missed it, but I'd like to request Maxx w/o The Brute 8.  Much like w/ Beverly/Brooke, I didn't like/want the original morph, but the add-on is too cute to pass on (his freckers!!! XD ).  Thanks in advance~

Hello together,

maybe some of you will also know the problem, that Genesis 8 female took a very and nasty long time to load ! So in addition how much content you have for Genesis 8 Female (Morphs and Characters), it can sometimes took 30 til 60 Minutes or even longer to load a Genesis 8 Female character. Which is very depressing and a reason, why i and others mostly use Genesis 3 Female and not Genesis 8 Female any more. And this even that we have bought tons of content for it !
Anyway today i had maybe a good idea, how this damn problem could maybe and finally by solved. Unfortunally it didn´t work, but probably because i didn´t do it right. But maybe somebody here know the final step to make it work, which i didn´t know.

Well my idea was, to creat a new subfolder in Daz3D (for example: G8F Fast loading) or even a directory on a other drive, in which i installed manually the Genesis 8 Female Starter Essentials. After this i tried to rename them into Genesis 9 Female. So i chanced every filename in Genesis 9. In this way i hoped, that i could stop the Daz3D Programm to load every single morph and stuff which is connect with Genesis 8 Female and which cause the damn long loading time. 

Well my hope was, that in this way i could load the Genesis 8 Female in 2 or 3 Minutes again like it was after the new figure came fresh out back then. After this, i would simply use the shapes and other morphs from the content on this Basic Figure and could finally happy use the Genesis 8 Females again. Unfortunally it didn´t work and the Daz3D Programm at once realised it as Genesis 8 female again and started to load every damn morph and stuff again. But maybe it´s because i didn´t do it right !

So maybe somebody here know, how in such a way we finally could solve this damn Genesis 8 Female problem. 
Thanks for listening and best regards to the Community

Same here. Tried everything. 

I used the solution from the post by BLUEZKYWORLD to do a workaround. Don't load the figure that comes with L4N4, just load any G8 figure from your library, or even the Basic G8 Female that comes with DAZ Studio and follow these steps:

Loaded a basic Gen 8 Essentials figure and then loaded "L4N4 Full Body Morph + Both Geo Shells" from the "Props" folder. Then the combination presets work/apply perfectly.

There is a morph loading with a defulat value of 1, which is not mixing with the other shapes. First check that there are no updates for your content (if you installed through Daz Central or Install Manager, or through Daz Studio itself, updates should be flagged).

Another issue:

I selected the vertice of the dress (yellow dot) and executed the script. It placed the magnet way off. Any idea what might be causing this?

There could be several reasons for this. The magnet attaches itself to the vertex's position of the default shape. If it shows an offset that means the current shape is not quite identical with the base shape. It might be caused by a morph, or the dress has already been simulated, or it's the SubD that has softened the folds and moved the vertex away from its original position. Seeing that you have SubD on the dress I'm leaning towards the 3rd possibility but it might also be one of the others, or a combination.

In the EULA this could be a problem:

 As this is the second thread about this subject, I opened a ticket and asked DAZ to answer our question in this thread, as we can only guess.

The maker is "tritiumcg"...they are on patreon, ko-fi, and more, that you can message them.  Just Google it.  It is not allowed to be distributed.

 

Eh?

Your link to deviantart sounded like it's a freebie (and i couldn't take a look since my ISP is against dA again), and i simply asked if its creator also has a profile on ShareCG (and from my experience, 80% of daz freebie creators have accounts on both DeviantArt and ShareCG, and also sometimes at Rendo). 

Patreon and ko-fi smells like $ (paid product) though. That explains your weird reaction, then. Though i don't suppose one can sell Daz3D's IP like Aiko-something, huh. 

 

On a second thought, i'm more intrigued by costume and weapon. 

 

Ko-fi and Patreon are used for both free and paid items, as is ArtStation, sharecg and DeviantArt. The morph for G8f in question is free on the sites 3DOutlaw mentioned.

Just to clarify, I don't think transgender morphs make female versions unnecessary, but it relieves some of the frustration/disappointment.

Female monsters sell _terribly_. I mean, really really bad. Heck, even my tiger characters, which I thought would tap more into the furry market which loves female characters? Rakshasi (female tigers) sold 82% of what the Rakshasa did. Which isn't a HUGE difference, but shows that even with the furry market, 'weird female' suffers.

 

So, yeah, it's great if someone does female and male, but the more alien/weird the form is, the more female characters are going to suffer in sales. But thankfully... transgender shapes at least gives you an option you wouldn't have otherwise.

 

to be fair i really love both of male and female and almost bought it on the 2,99 sales, when it was on that, i didn't buy because on that time i've already had bought a lot of stuff and my credit card was on the red alert to not buy anything anymore just wating for another chance again to do it, they really look cools and for my fantasy world game i'm planning having aways "male and female" is a win, i really hate when it's just or male or female even today i'm still sad which one of my favorite alien character aureska still have only the "female" and never get a male version of her =/, even if i use the "transgender morph it' still have the issue for let's say the gens lacking of "material(texture) since is female only you can't get a "male gen texture" this is why "transgender" can be complicated because characters textures where build only for one gender which means if you try to make a "male version of a female" and want do something "naught" with it it aways will be a issue because the female texture don't have a "male texture" for gens only female and the other way around you have only female texture/materials for female gens not male.
