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.

3D Art Freebie Challenge April 2021 "Spring Forward"

In the dutch language the word 'spring' means jump. ; )

[Best watched at full size for details.]

"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...

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...

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.

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.

I found working with a character preset transfers easily shape and materials of a genesis 8 character to a genesis 8.1 figure of same gender, thus creating the base for the desired genesis 8.1 character.

Otherwise hair and genitals were not transformed - and of course neither clothing and accessoirs. To transfer this items I save the genesis 8 character as scene subset. After creating the base for the desired genesis 8.1 character, I reload the scene subset and fit the missing items to the new genesis 8,1 character.

You can see how the process whittles down and makes smaller the original geometry of the artwork on the left in your example. 

Yes, it has to be as the models don't have as much geometry available as the photogrammetry can actually map from the source photo.

did it? Ich saved it as an morph an loaded it to a new figuren. You think it's reduced? 

Not in Daz Studio, you would - if the game license permits - need to use an external modelling application to mould the face of an exported Genesis 8 OBJ to the shape of the target head, then load that as a morph.

Hello members of the forum! Can you please tell me if it is possible to convert character heads from OBJ to DAZ Studio?

I explain what I want to do: I selected a 3D model of a character from the game, deleted all body parts except the head (I only need the head morph) and exported the head to OBJ. I have uploaded this OBJ to DAZ and I need to convert the OBJ face to head morph. This can be done?

I exported Male and Female G8 with Face Expression Morph Animation to FBX 2012. 
Opened it with C4D R19 and R21 
Its working fine with the Males but not with Female Characters.

Okay, got this a while ago, but haven't played with it yet, so this is as good a time as any. Maybe others can expand on this.

In the General Parameters section, you will see that the Simulation Object Type is set to Dynamic Surface, so, yes, it is dForce-ready. A cube primitive isn't set to anything, so just to make sure, Edit -> Object -> Geometry -> Add dForce Surface Modifier: Static Surface. Also, the number of subdivisions could influence the simulation depending on which collision mode you use. Sharp edges are not friendly, and I get numerous sharp un-goo-like bulges along those edges as a result. A very narrow band of the mesh is being bent at a sharp angle, so it is probably not going to be smooth. Subdividing the goo mesh smooths out those sharp edges.

You would need to use Best collision mode, bump up the subframes, iterations (per subframe), collision iterations (per subframe) and probably simulation and stabilization time. Something with a more rounded or beveled edge would probably be easier to work with.

There is still some thickness after simulating, but it is nowhere near what it started with. You could tweak some of the simulation parameters in the surface tab, but I'm sure they have been well tuned. There is also a "Fatten" morph that you can use to make the goo physically thicker after simulation. You can do it before, too, but you would lose most of the effect during simulation. Note that the Fatten morph works only in the object's Y-axis direction, so if parts of it are hanging over the edge, it will only "fatten" upwards, not out from the surface. You would need to rotate the goo object relative to the surfaces it will touch (or rotate the surface under it for the purpose of simulation and rotate it back to its original position) so that there is a Y-component to "fatten" after it settles.

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

The process is not simple. Morphs are figure specific. [i.e. G8F morphs are solely for G8F]

Basic concept: [if I didn't miss a step] To make a morph from G8M to G8F, load G8M - base resolution, no eyelashes, dial in G8F shape [hidden clone] export out mesh [no groups]; load G8F, import in clothing mesh, make clothing, dial in foot morph. Dial in G8M shape. Export out .obj [no groups]. On G8M, dial out G8F, bring in clothing mesh to make the morph [using morph loader pro] [reverse deformations]. Hopefully the morph takes and you now have the foot morph on G8M. Save it: dial it to zero, File > save as .... morph asset.

n.b. when exporting .obj from D/S "always" either remove or hide all other figures so only the one item is included in the mesh. When exporting out the mesh to be returned to make the morph, hide the G8F figure [so the clothing keeps its shape].

Does the character have a 'Height' slider activated. I find some hairs and clothing don't play nice when a Height morph is applied to Genesis 8, rarely Genesis 3. I usually just dial it out and lengthen the legs and torso slightly to give me the desired height of the character.

Um is there any way to make the part not quite so wide? See how wide it is? and it is not consistant, the front bit seems about right almost, but then it gets WAY wide, what is going on with that? and is there something I am missing somewhere that will fix it? I have looked through the tabs looking for a morph  or something, but I haven't found one yet.
