I think this character has some great skin textures, Ramalus HD for Genesis 9 | Daz 3D  The only thing it appears as if there is no morph for normal ears, only elf style. Its too bad if that's the case. 

I am not buying it for the same reason. It's rather odd since elves, as popular as they may seem, are a niche.

Has this been added Babydoll for Genesis 8 Female at Renderhub

It doesn't help your case that I can't even guess at who that's supposed to be.

Emily Browning was a girl called "Babydoll" in the 2011 movie "Sucker Punch" and wore an outfit kinda like the one shown. Good likeness, imho

The character morph, costume and hair are sold as a package deal, and sorry, I didn't name the character as Emily Browning from "Sucker Punch"  The vendor is on sale at the moment, but as I own this, like Daz3d.com, I can't see the price of items I own.

Is there a morph to move the front left hair behind the shoulder?  Is there a morph to move the front right hair (if any) in front of the shoulder?  In other words mirror the default view.

Hello there, 
no, there is no way to 'mirror' the hairstyle.

This was requested by a client who wanted some guidance on how to quickly fix poke-throughs caused by dForce fabrics on layered meshes (without going down the rabbit-hole of using ghost colliders or building extended morph/bone-chain stacks).

You can download / view the full over here : SWTrium’s Quickstart Guide for fine tuning Push / dFormer Modifier Weight Nodes for Daz3D Studio.

I had the a crash on the latest version of Daz ALPHA.

This crash was bad, no crash report, it gave an error and I needed to force a shut down.  Steps on repeating it below.

This seems to happen because of one addon, with a specific morph that I honestly never use at all (see attached image).

This is how I repeated the crash...

- Load Daz (Latest Alpha)
- Load default, Genesis 8 female with nothing else.
- Go to Parameters Tab for the character
- Click Actor
- Click Legs and it crashes with an error (see attachment)
- I have to force a shutdown, so no crash report is generated.

I managed to easily recreate this crash doing the above so I cleared the log file, and then carefully recreated it with a fresh, empty log, and then saved the log before I clicked LEGS which crashes it.  I attached the log.txt. (Crash log.zip).

I did try that. I ended up with mixed results tbh.  I put the head morph on but when I tried to modify or add a body shape the entire figure changed, like it was linked to the head morph.

I am not sure why that is happening. If I try to change a shape on the body it changes the entire body shape. If I try to modify anything it changes the entire shape of the figure.

Is there a morph to move the front left hair behind the shoulder?  Is there a morph to move the front right hair (if any) in front of the shoulder?  In other words mirror the default view.

I don't have geometry sculptur so I have no experience with that.

I would take it into a modeller and create a morph from that.

In geometry sculptur have you tried change radius and see what difference it makes.

Maybe try to show an image of what you are trying to adjust, best in wire texture shaded

I need a way to get the really old versions. I have old scenes I can't load because the characters just load as grey blocks with no texture, or completely invisible. It is my understanding there was an intermediary version of DAZ studio that created files to make those old scenes work with newer versions of DAZ Studio. I need that version or an older one. 

Sounds like they might be the old .daz scene files.

DS1, 2, 3 and 4.0 a scene was saved as a .daz file, however everything in the scene was saved into the data folder as .dso (mesh), .dsd (morph) and .dsv files, lose those files and you get what you've described.

If you have lost those files then it's a bit of a pain to recreate them, for older content (ie Poser) DS3 is needed, but if your scenes use Genesis then you will need DS4.0.

Import morph dbz does the trick for my project. Thank you. 

Well, there was a LOT in that log file, but I copied all the relevant data, I think (still a lot, though).

Loaded the jumpsuit, tried to apply Neckline only material but failed.  Tried Neckline and Short Sleeves material, but only sleeves was applied.

No diffeomorphic can't import dforce simulations, it's not its purpose. However you can import dforce clothes to simulate in blender. Also, if you need a single frame of the dforce simulation then you can export as dbz and load the morph from there, kinda like morph loader.

https://bitbucket.org/Diffeomorphic/import_daz/wiki/Setup/Morphs/Import DBZ Morphs

p.s. In general if you want to animate in daz studio then Sagan is the way to go. If you want to animate in blender it's Diffeomorphic.

I've only just noticed this product (I joined relatively late). I've seen some people say it's already part of Premier. Where do I activate this product? Or can I find the tutorial PDF?

1. Make sure you have the current version of Daz Studio Alpha 2025
2. Install the Shape Transfer 2025 from DIM
3. Open Daz Studio Alpha... load your Genesis 8 for example and the generic Genesis 9 from Genesis 9 Essentials
4. Select them both and go to Top Menu>Edit>Figure>Shape Transfer 
5. 
6. Let it do its magic

 Thank you! I've been looking for this feature for a long time, and I can't believe I'm only just now learning how to use it.

I have been downloading my installers and plug-ins today and only ran into one issue - Mesh Grabber. All the others, Mesh Grabber (Mac), the Mesh Grabber Bundle (Mac) and (Win), Mesh Grabber Morph Editor (Mac)  and Mesh Grabber Rotations Add-On (Mac) and (Win) are missing the manual downloads. 

Only the original Mesh Grabber (Win) and Mesh Grabber Morph Editor (Win) have an installer for manual downloads. 

They won't be an issue anyway, sicne they are not compiled against a specific build of DS. It's only yhr Daz own-brand pl;ug-ins, the ones that get a new version with  every build, that you should keep hold of installers for.

And yet my MacMini M4 does have the full suite installed. How can I make a copy of the installers?

And why have the installers disappeared from the Product Library pages?

On another subject, someone mentioned copying Genesis Starter Essentials, you might consider Genesis 2 Starter Essentials as well. Only a few at the end had Iray materials.

In daz there's morph loader.
But in blender what to use?
Is diffeomorphic has such feature? 

Thank you so much for your help AsuCafe <3 I have Lycan 9, but i can't figure out how to do just the slit in the lip. I found what i needed but it is for g8. It's like a lip n nose morph but i have no idea how to use it on g9. 

As noted I moved my Daz3D location due to a hard disk failure. Now when I render to a preview window the program can't create it's own "r.png" to save/show results. The face transfer plugin also tries to create temp folders for morphs and textures in the old location, resulting in a complete failure. Will someone please point me to maybe an ".ini" location [or whatever I need to update] that will let Daz3D know how to find it's new default directories?

I've been searching for solutions with zero results so far.
