I got puzzled by this when I purchased it. Have you entered the serial number? Face Transfer is already installed so you do not need to install anything extra, you just need to enter the number to unlock the full version. Look under My Serial Number on My Account for it.

The serial number? Hmm...I think that might be my issue, right here. I didn't enter any serial number, as far as I can tell.  Hmm...After checking, I have several serial numbers, there. I had never looked into this tab. Although it refers to "face transfer" not "face transfer unlimited". Is that the correct one anyway? 

And where/how do I enter this serial number? 

Thank you for the tip. 

I applied the suggested changes and made several of my own, also made a better quality GIF (that gloss on the hair has got to go!).  The face "pose" is my attempt to mimic the pose from the STNG season 1 episode 21 "The Arsenal of Freedom".  I'm not sure about the legality of posting the original image, but it is easily found by a Google image search.

Again, please provide your feedback.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but since this morph was made from purchased face morphs not specifically marketed as "merchant reasource" it is unshareable?  Is there a legal workaround?

Face Transfer saves it inside the Scene Subset it makes.

Some of the code has been updated for R23 -  for instance, the DRAWFLAGS_NO_REDUCTION  has been removed and they tried to change floats for integers, but the script still does not run.

I still can't get files to transfer.  OIn the C4D side it says 'nothing to import'. On the DAZ side when trying to run the script, the screen flashes but does not go through the prep process. Any thoughts?

For me it still functions fine (But not perfectly) if I run it on  Poser files,  but anything using the new DAZ files it'll do what you're experiencing.  

Morphing Python  (Poser .cr2 file)   Export works fine!
The Constrictor  (DAZ 'DUF' file)   <Nothing happens>

I ran through and checked a dozen figures each.  Every Poser file exports fine - albeit with every joint's alignment being borked -  and every DUF file refuses to even initiate the script.    Honestly, I've taken to just exporting figures via FBX when possible and then tweaking them myself, but  I might look into the Blender one if the joint alignment problem's not present there though, since I hear most of the development effort in the Bridges is funneled into that one (Not hard to see why, Blender's free after all).

Alright, I am now absolutely certain Daz had some sort of a hickup with the codes.

I got an orange banner and no e-mail. I sent a support ticket, and below are the Gift Card values for the codes the support sent me as the ones I had not redeemed, after, you know, "double and triple checking them", which now seems quite hillarious a method of checking to me. Lo and behold my mighty riches:

$0.04
$0.28
$0.07
$0.05
$0.12
$0.55
$0.24
$0.16
$0.62
$0.42
$0.10
$0.34
$0.28
$0.47

How did I even manage to buy Gift Cards for these fractions of a dollar value in the first place?

You didn't, you likely used almost all of a gift card on purchases (and didn't transfer to store credit) and had a small left over balance.

Some things don't work the same, or do the same thing but differently 

 

All the building blocks for expressions were created anew and some things overlap 

 

For instance genesis 8 and 8.1 both have mouth smile and mouth smile open morphs - but these morphs look completely different because the 8.1 version was built from scratch with no relation to the 8.0 version

 

Having 2 smile morphs 2 smile open 2 eyes closed 2 brows up etc etc etc seems kind of messy no?

I see. Hmm. When I dial Mouth Smile 2, I still get a mouth smile, but which morph is it using? 8 or 8.1? Or is it actually using both morphs at the same time, in which you get a double smile strength effect? Anyone know?

Strangely, I'm not getting 2 mouth smile open.

This is explained in the update section of the first post in this thread: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/477386/how-to-get-genesis-8-expressions-working-on-genesis-8-1/p1

EDIT: looks like this post addresses the two morph same name issue: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/477386/how-to-get-genesis-8-expressions-working-on-genesis-8-1/p1 - the two morphs with the same name can be separated, read that thread, it explains how.

More practical way:

- You install Unreal Engine 4

- You download for free Quixel Megascans PBR materials from Epic store - there are a lot of them (159 packages at the moment)

 https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/profile/Quixel+Megascans

- Using https://www.daz3d.com/daz-to-unreal-bridge you transfer any Genesis 3 or 8 based characters you like

 and play with them in UE4

Can you elaborate what you want to do with the file? There may be an easier way.

Locate them or edit them in an editor. You have to click your way through the folder hirachy tree if you know where to find it, when you're lucky.
It would be just better if you had a right click on the morph dial, the option to brwse to folder in order to find the refering .../data/*.dsf file.

Change subd to 3 or 4, apply hd morph through shaping tab, and if you have the ability, remove normal from texture.

For anyone who doesn't want to scroll through all the pages on that thread. Delete these two folders:

• "...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Base Pose Head\"
• "...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Female 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Expressions\"

These are dummy morphs preventing Genesis 8.1 from using Genesis 8 expressions.

And the same with the male folders 

"...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Base Pose Head\"
"...\Data\DAZ 3D\Genesis 8\Male 8_1\Morphs\Daz 3D\Expressions\"

Make sure you are deleting the folders from G8.1 morph folders and not from G8 morph folders.

The folders will be added back everytime you reinstall or update Genesis 8 Starter Essentials.

Some are seeing bogeymen everywhere, but if you look at what's inside the files and have any understanding about how the morph files work, you see there is no danger. and if you want to put them back for any reason, just reinstall the Starter Essentials.

Hi lilweep. Thanks for responding. Oh sure- Just want it to lay flat, not bend. Think of flat armor plates. I could create a texture but I'm looking for more dimension, like super clunky chunky plates. Like Some giant built it quickly and doesn't care how heavy it is 

 

lilweep said:

wouldnt that involve morphing the shape to get it to "wrap around" rather than just being on a tangent with the surface?

I dont think ultrascatter claims to be able to morph shapes.

Would it be easier to just use a texture of riveted metal sheets?

Something like this?

Click on image for full size.

i been playing with the troop carrier since 2009
2009-10-30  
best 1.99 i ever spent

it has an open windows morph 

added a tube light to the interior.  scifi-ish eshaust cylinders
next need to make glowy amunition for the gunners. and a very,very lo rez pilot

I love that ship!

I also love using either of the LoRez 14MU Workers as LoRez pilots.

They animate well! So I make a generic pilot animation that's really long, doing different things throughout the timeline, then make an NLA clip that I can add to any LoRez Lorenzzo/Loretta based figure, and slide the clip around for each, so they're all doing different things - works Great!

With all the huge amount of .../data/... files, it would be nice, to have the option to browse directly to the referring .../data/... file from the parameter tab.
It has now become a true PITA to search the whole .../data/... folder, in order to find one particular morph file.

How can I transfer the skin from one character I created to another?  I have gotton the shading, tan, ect. down perfect and would like it on another person. Thanks! - Ski

Hi, thanks for your answer :)

It's either a Daz Studio Process that never finishes instead goes on about 10% CPU usage forever or a process with the DAZ icon but no name.

It probably will close, it sounds as if it has a lot of clearing up to do - often the case with morph-heavy figures. It's single-threaded so you see only one core's worth of activity. Force-closing can damage the settings files or even the database, so it is to be avoided; you could start a fresh instance instead Daz Studio Pro 4.12 - instances

 perché ci sono le figure,

 Sai che le figure ci sono anche nel DIM?

Ti basta selezionare i prodotti, fare click destro e scegliere "Retrieve Thumbnail" e ce le hai tutte.

Solo che alla DAZ non hanno aggiustato gli archivi e le immagini sono 6000x6000, per cui una volta che ha scaricato tutto devi ridurre le dimensioni delle immagini usando un batcher.

Questa non la sapevo, interessante. Grazie 

Il povero vecchio Zio Imago continua a ripetervi di leggere le istruzioni ma nessuno da ascolto al povero vecchio Zio Imago... 

Di nulla, comunque!

E' giustissimo Zio Imago, solo che le istruzioni di DAZ sono come un puzzle da 1.000 pezzi da ricomporre da solo. Tra un manuale che non spiega quasi nulla, pagine online risalenti alla vecchia wiki, link a pagine non più funzionanti, video su youtube di gente che ha smesso anni fa (molti non hanno più pubblicato nulla e i video vanno dai 5 anni fa in su) e una valanga di post del forum in cui provare a cercare info ai vari problemi... trovare qualcosa è una vera caccia al tesoro. 
Non ti dico quanto ho sudato per cercare info su come creare morph, ora le sto cercando sulle weightmap (vorrei creare/editare dei vestiti e il Transfer da problemi..). Inoltre anche Iray non mi è ancora chiaro in alcuni punti...(per Filament mi sono dovuto andare a vedere la guida ufficiale di Google !)

Appunto...

I got puzzled by this when I purchased it. Have you entered the serial number? Face Transfer is already installed so you do not need to install anything extra, you just need to enter the number to unlock the full version. Look under My Serial Number on My Account for it.
