Are there any Muscularity Normal/Bump Maps I can apply to any character? I would like to use it for a game engine using Genesis 3 figures so a normal map would add nice muscle definition that is harder to get with an actual morph given the decimation.

Thanks

 Can you please explain how this would achieve increased muscular definition? I have some of the characters listed in the above post, but satisfactory muscle definition without excessive HD morphs is something I've been struggling with for a while.

You wouldn't. Normal maps won't alter the actual 3D mesh...but they will help mimic the lighting/shadow that the muscles would create.  

 So then, would increasing the normal map values increase the effect you're describing? I guess that's what the OP is asking.

Interesting. I have not gone so far yet. Right now I am using the Transfer Utility. Thank you again for the explanation, Richard! It is helpful.

Hi. I need to see the morph before it is rigged, and then rigged with bones showing so I can see what is going on.

Hey,
I purchased your script today and i have a problem. Id on't understand the problem. I made many custom morphs... and use riiging to shape. I think it was better with your script.
So, i have problem with both rigging to shape base and your script.  I use it, i save my morph and when i load Genesis 8 again nothing run correctly :(

I downloaded genesis 8 female feet@leg morph by ovolog on DeviantArt touse as a shaping morph for g8 feet and have no idea how to install or import it as a shape morph to use on models/ it is an obj file. What should I do?   Thanks!

Could you please upload the morph file. Thank you very much.

Dear Riversoftart,

I am having problems with your G2f to G8F Character Converter. I am using Daz 4.15 Pro, and the result is always the same, whether I try to convert a character, or a custom character. I use the 2020 method, with tolerance of 0.060, and overwrite existing morphs and convert Corrective Morphs unchecked. (the result is the same when either or both of these are checked.) Hide eyes is also unchecked.

For this example, I used the base G2F figure with the Girl 4 Legacy morph. As I said, regardless of which method I use, or which figure, the result is always the same.

The steps:
Step 1, load G2F base, and inject Legacy morph; leaving the mat as is.
Step 2, load G8F base figure, leaving both at zero translation.
Step 3, Select G2F, and control-select G8F.
Step 4, run the Convert Custom Character G2F to G8F script.

It copies the body, but not the head, and the head is, well, like the pic. What am I doing wrong?

P.S. I erased the nipples, just in case that was an issue with posting the pic.

How did you accomplish this? Paint a dForce weight map on the figure (obviously) and then reduce the size of the garment on the timeline?

More or less; I've got a dForce weight map that entirely paints out any sufficiently bony bits that shouldn't squish, and the dForce strength is set very low on the rest of the body. A partial dynamic strength appears to be achieved by a spring that pulls the vertices back into their unsimmed positions, so if you get the strength and other parameters right it is actually not terrible at representing elastic materials like skin.

Part of the reason I'm doing the pressure with dForce in the first place is that this is part of an underwear set I've created to be dForceable - as the elastication can pull it around into different positions depending on pose, I can't just do one fixed pressure morph and need to generate them based on how the figure is posed in that scene. But it does actually work reasonably well. This was an early effort and I've created better contract morphs for the clothing now, but it's the example I had a reference available for.

Looks good and sounds interesting. Would be cool if you might put this together into a tutorial or maybe make a product from that underwear you've mentioned.

I'm trying to edit a walk cycle by adding some motion to the glutes. I am using the Zev0 glute morphs for G8F but the keyframes do not appear on the timeline when I adjust the parameters. When I select a bone and move it, a keyframe is created at that point on the timeline but not for morph parameters. I've searched the forum but none of the suggestions I have seen (like making sure TRSV is selected, etc.) have made any difference.

Ideally I would like to use Graphmate to fine tune and copy/paste keyframes but Graphmate doesn't see any keyframes for these morphs. Neither does the new DAZ timeline which is just blank for those morph parameters.

"Jump For Joy"

Starring: Ellie, Gabriella and Walther

The tale: (Based on a true story.)

16-year-old Ellie and her 17 months younger brother Walther have both had a very tough and incredibly difficult year. They were removed from home last year and placed in a shelter. Today on the first day of Spring their counselor decided to take them to the beach and the dunes. Ellie felt like a 12-year-old again for a moment and Walther ran even faster than his legs could carry him and both forgot all the troubles in their young lives for a moment and even dared to look a little Forward again...

I also had troubles with the light, the HDRI alone is too dark and adding Dreamlight's Free Iray Outdoor Lights introduced an unrealistic double shadow, fixed it in postwork.

thanks for responding so quickly, zev0.  :)  much appreciated.

those are the scene files themselves. 

(character - clothing - environment - lighting - pose - camera - sequence)

peplexes me, too...typically those kind of errors point directly to the morph files. 

i guess i should probably go back and see whether or not the morphs referenced are active, or whether they're parked in my Morphs (Disabled) folder. 

Tafi has been reaching into every third party marketplace lately — a bit haphazardly it seems.
I don't see how any of it makes any sense, or how it helps promote DAZ 3D, or even Tafi for that matter. Taking a DAZ 3D product, labeling it as a Tafi product, and selling it on a third party marketplace with no connection back to DAZ 3D or even Tafi — it just further complicates the licensing model for DAZ 3D content, and is super confusing...

Other free software used: GIMP v2.10.22 and Irfanview 4.57

Postwork: used the AltaLux Image Enhancement Filter (Effect) by Stefano Tommesani that comes with Irfanview and some filters (oa) that come with GIMP. Also used mcjDenoise by mcasual. (https://sites.google.com/site/mcasualsdazscripts9/mcjdenoise)

I also had troubles with the light, the HDRI alone is too dark and adding Dreamlight's Free Iray Outdoor Lights introduced an unrealistic double shadow, fixed it in postwork.

The tale: (Based on a true story.)

16-year-old Ellie and her 17 months younger brother Walther have both had a very tough and incredibly difficult year. They were removed from home last year and placed in a shelter. Today on the first day of Spring their counselor decided to take them to the beach and the dunes. Ellie felt like a 12-year-old again for a moment and Walther ran even faster than his legs could carry him and both forgot all the troubles in their young lives for a moment and even dared to look a little Forward again...

Richard Haseltine said:

Face groups can be used to aid selection when rigging, they also provide the means (as Selection Groups) to make a bone selectable by clicking in the Viewport and allow the emsh to be hidden by turning the associated bone's visbility off. It is, however, perfectly possible to have a rigged item without face groups.

So the Face Groups are just some means of selection and nothing more. Thank you, Richard! 

They are also useful for a stand-alone figure (one not rigged with the Transfer Utility) as the bones are created in the middle of the associated group's bounding box, aligned along the twist axis.
