Also, is there any way to not have Daz Studio crash every time i try to set up controllers in the property heirarchy.

Any time i try to either drag a morph into 1st stage controller or set them up under 'attenuate by' in ERC Freeze, Daz crashes.  I have tried upwards of 10 times now....

Morphs are not poses and therefore can not be found on Posing-tab, use the Properties-tab instead.

I'm apprciated your answer but I'm not sure if that is the problem that I have.

I can't add the morph to begin with. It's not that I look at the wrong tab when that tab doesn't exists. It doesn't show up in my library at all. You can see on the left side (from the screenshot) that the Genesis Morph folder have nothing on it. If you look at another image, you will see that even daz central can't find the resources and I've reinstalled it multiple times.

Manually adjusting the rigging with the joint editor tool (little bone icon) and in tool settings you can adjust the rotation of bones. I guess you could then ERC freeze the change to the morph??

I may be lacking important knowledge though. 

And...just tried it. Applied the morph, and Shape Rigger Plug skewed the joint...again.

Sigh...is there some way of manually adjusting the rigging for the morph?

I did. It still isn't working the way I want it to.

I swear, I gradually increased the morph dial, and as I do so, I can see the joint rig rotating out of alignment. I just wish I knew how to stop it or something.

I've purchased and download Genesis 8 Morph(42083) but I can't use it. I downloaded it through Daz Central and it doesn't show a file and when I click open from daz central. It sais that Resouce Error Could not find the 42083 product.

Okay. I've been experimenting with creating morphs and figures in DAZ3D, but I've run into a massive stumbling block. When I add the character morph, G8F's thumbs stop bending in the right direction. Is there a way of setting up...well, morph-specific joint rigging to get around this?

As a possible solution would it be possible to save a figure as it's own independent figure that only loads specified morphs?  For example save out  a figure and only transfer the currently used morphs, the pose dials and the hidden adjustment morphs, leaving all the people morphs out. Daz would then recognize it as a different figure from the genesis X and when loaded it would only load the previosly specified morphs.

just supposing someone put a morph on an object that didn't work
and since undo doesn't seem to remove said morph.

Is there a way to remove it? 
Or do you just reload the base again.

3D Art Freebie Challenge February 2021 "Love Is Different Now"

I just had to make a second entry, I think it's due to the full moon tonight ... ; )

[Best watched at full size for details.]

"And then suddenly ..."

Starring: Alysha, Ellie and Nico

The tale:

At the end of September 2021 (Covid-19 measures had almost all been lifted), Alysha had already noticed that Ellie was not doing so well. Nico had been gone for almost 10 months and Ellie hadn't heard from her in the last 4 weeks. Ellie was very pleased that Alysha had asked her to go for a jog, even though she found it very tiring. Suddenly her phone rang, it was Nico who told her that she had met a very nice Dutch girl, Eileen, and that she had fallen in love with her. "I still love you Ellie, but it's not like before ..." It seemed as if the whole world was disappearing around her and Ellie broke down in tears...

"And then suddenly ..."

It is clothing.  I loaded my own pJCMs to the clothing to overrite the existing ones (via morph loader pro).   I assumed that over writing the ones transferred to the clothing from the figure would make them a property of the clothing, and hence show up in property heirarchy.

Edit: I just tested ERC freeze with a "Loosen" morph i made - i linked it to the X-rotate of the thigh and it shows up in Property Heirarchy.  So Property Heirarchy is clearly showing some morphs.

But none of my edited pJCMs show up.  Confused.

Removing the directory with all the character and morph sets will certainly speed loading as it vastly reduces the amount of work DS has to do, linking one property to others.

Hausfrau - you sir and brilliant. Thanks! There was basically a morph from another asset that was hiding.

You can, via right-click, Bake ERC to get it back to it's unfrozen state then edit it. You can also find it in the Property Hierarchy, again right-click in Edit Mode, and edit its attributes directly there.

Um, my property heirarchy is completely blank... even though the ERC does still seem to exist.

When i rotate x(bend) the figure, the corresponding pJCM morph of the clothing is activated so the ERC link is definitely still there. But the parameters dont show up.

Is something wrong?

The Filament update is live already. Updating to 8.1 means the UV's need to be changed to 8.1. That is a huge task. Sure we can make it compatible with 8.1 where it will work and still be using standard 8 UV, BUT people will expect it to be 8.1 UV, hense why we are not making it compatible with 8.1 until we know exactly what approach to take.

I converted a 8 material to to a 8.1 material set by using the map transfer extension for each surface but leaving the results for each surface standalone and not combined into a material atlas. I guess you have a lot of script references to surfaces and UVs that are using those 8 atlases though.  I guess as a merchant resource that final result need be packed into the equivalent 8.1 atlases too. LOL, and allow the users to switch back and fort between 8 and 8.1 UVs on the fly.

Good to see it naturally works in R23 now without manual workarounds;  but now Morphs won't import :(

I've tried six different figures, not a single Morph is carried over and no Pose Morph tag is created.

With the new fix. You need to make sure the figure is selected before you run the script or the morphs will not attach. 

Had the Install Manager download the update,  and now the script flat out won't run at all.  It's there in the Scripts menu, but clicking it does nothing.  I have the figure selected and everything too.

Uninstalled it and reinstalled it to no effect.  Cinema 4D though, it still is importing the last figure I ran the script on (before the last update)  which was the 'Dregon' wyvern from Poser 11.   Updated D|S as well to 4.15 but it didn't seem to matter either.

That didn't work. I'd corrupted it by saving as a figure/prop support asset and that somehow linked the base male to the OBJ I used in the transfer utility. 

Thanks Wendy, I'll look into that.

I've done it now though. I was frustratedly fiddling around with the Transfer Utilitied G3M, trying to create some dummy that would recognize all the shaping morphs after saving and have somehow overwritten the Genesis3Male.dsf

I tried replacing the corrupt one with one downloaded from Daz3D, didn't work. Tried clearing the cache, reimporting metadata, uninstalling starter essentials... all to no avail.

I ended up uninstalling DS, deleting the AppData, and am now DIM-installing 1000 assets. All because my shaping morphs were disappearing after I save. And because I've been OCD-ing, trying to solve this problem, I'm gonna be up all night catching up on the real work I was supposed to be doing in DS over the weekend.

FML! I hate this house!

Heh, I made a Puppeteer setup to morph figures a long time ago...it worked, but it got confusing quickly and one click when you're in the wrong mode will wipe your progress with no way to undo it. Be sure to explain how to use this VERY WELL when it's released, I don't want you to have to go through a 20-page thread of people ranting and demanding refunds because they didn't understand how this works.

I feel you. Pupeteer goes into Edit mode by default when you load it so most likely everyone's going to have all their work undone at some point. This is why I'm getting into Daz scripting, I hope to maybe be able to create my own widget to avoid such situations.

When I say "create" I mean "take the modified high-res object and transform it into a HD morph of the base figure".
