The one thing I didn't like about the MacLean Streets package is that there are no sections with residential driveways.  Personally, that would be what I want with regards to street sections.

The freebie, Street Construction Set, on ShareCG, is a step in the right direction, but unfortunately the driveways are quite narrow.  But maybe I could work around it.

Worst case scenario, I could always add a morph or two to a MacLean straight street section.

Yes, they look great

Thanks.

I forgot to mention that I added a new morph dial to change the shape of Margot's eyes that is identified as Margot Sleepy Eyes, also, the length of the eyelashes in promos was controlled by the morphs dials included in my product https://www.daz3d.com/great-lashes-for-genesis-8-female-s (optional)

A couple additional points:

Neither converter should give you “errors” when converting the morphs; they just might not convert them to your satisfaction. XTransfer has handled everything I’ve thrown at it, with the single exception that it didn’t fully translate Star 2.0’s very extreme proportions. The morph itself looks great, but it doesn’t have the same silhouette, but that’s fine with me. For a more drastic failure, I got this out of using RiverSoft’s G2M-G8M converter on Genesis 2 Raven:

I want to be very clear that this shouldn’t be taken as a reflection on the quality of RiverSoft’s converters, because G2 to G8 (or G3) is a much trickier conversion than G3 and G8, which are basically the same figures, and this is also a pretty extreme morph. Still, even though it looks ghastly and not at all like the figure I was converting, the conversion completed without an error. 

HD might play a larger role in creating the shapes you’re after than you might initially suspect. Without the higher level of detail, the shapes of, for example, the ears may not look quite the same. 

Finally, even though it doesn’t do all the same things as the morph packs you’re looking at, there is some overlap with HFS Ultimate Shapes for G8. Depending on your budget, it might be worth playing around with that to see if you can get the shapes you want that way before buying G3 morphs and the converter(s) necessary to get them over to G8. 

More excellence, Sigurd! I compared the 2 versions of this character side by side.  The changes are subtle, but noticeable.  I'm also liking the body hair on the second version.  I couldn't tell you which one I prefer more, they're both great.

I also have difficulty getting the traps to look right.  I've blended in/out the G8M trap morph, reduced the ASE neck enhancer, and tried different combinations of Sickle Yield's trap morphs from their G8M 200 morph pack freebie.  I just can't quite get the shaping exactly like I want.  I need to look at some of the other muscular morph packs to see if there are fine tuning adjustments for the traps.  And that's not taking anything away from AME and ASE.  They're brilliant.

It's an interesting tool, but I ultimately love spinning the dials so much. I can already randomize or spin a few faces that I like to find new things in the data.

Maybe for a child's face? Or an older person? Daz models mostly fit that Adult-Early Middle Age range (with 20-something Hollywood Teens being the "Teen" models in G8, IMO).

The recent older figures have been solid, though everyone can't look like Floyd. A little shape variance through a tool like this might be good. To me, it's the shapes outside the regular Daz box that might sell me on the face transfer, but my use case for those figures is so small and limited.

Face transfer looks better but for me none of them look like the original.

I am not using the texture, this is purely face shape... texture is a next step.

I don’t have either of those morph packs, but I’ll XTransfer a similar HD character when I get home (probably Narkissa) to give you an idea of what you can expect. Ive already XTransferred some other characters like Damien and Anneka, but I don’t know if I have any renders handy that I could show you. 

RiverSoft’s character converters also won’t transfer HD details, because Daz doesn’t allow it. However, either will transfer the shapes, so it’s just a question of how badly you need the HD details. Personally, between the two I prefer XTransfer, but they appear to be equivalent in terms of results. 

I don't really need the HD detail, couse in the end I do a lot of post production to make the render appears as a paint... I was just wondering if in the end the converter will give me some errors

Here is the comparison. Left is Facetransfer and right is FaceGen Artist Pro 2 . It seems to me that the Facegen result creates a barrel distortion compared to the FaceTransfer. They are both usuable, but Facetransfer + Face Transfer Shapes creates a version that seems to be more accurate on the whole. I will also try to see what the textureset from Facegen is to get the complete picture.

It should be possible, though the more complex the morph the more likely you are to be better off using a dedicated modeller.

I would like a morph that looks very skelatal in struture

Having worked most of my life of long hours under the heat of the sun chiseling stone and hefting them into place, my journey toward becoming a CG Filmmaker has been a long learning process - but a really fun one!

I'm most known for being a huge Carrara fan and user but I'm also really loving to use Daz Studio along with other filmmaking essentials.

Join me for a stroll along my path as I slay the dragons of defeat and overcome insurmountable obstacles!

To find a good grounding for launching my website, I decided to introduce the newest version of my Hero

Introducing Rosie 5 (click to watch)

The support articles on my new site are:

Introducing Rosie 5 (article)

Making Rosie 5

Genesis Morph Reduction

Dynamic Hair

EYEdeas 3+

Millennium Teeth

The site is brand new and has a long journey ahead of it. Even the current articles will be receiving more attention as time permits.

There's a nice little landing page for my articles, Dartanbeck Articles to give them a consolidated index since they get organized into various parts of the site - the process of CG filmmaking where they belong. This page also has some of my videos with brief descriptions for them. Pretty cool.

The Home page, Dartanbeck.com, lists some of my most used software toward the endeavor of making CG motion pictures and Finding Carrara - My Story gives a (hopefully) fun little timeline of how I got into all of this and where I'm going with it.

Sorry for the confusion, the Rakshasa is actually broken out into head and body morph. You can totally do him as plantigrade.

And yes, a female version is on her way!

Interesting. I spent all yesterday trying to get it to work. In small tests where I loaded a single genesis 3 figure into the scene and added simple arm and leg movements, figure translation, and muscle morph animations, it worked. Unfortunately for more complex scenes, once I created the blocks, the figure would sink down and the limbs would not be set at the right angles. It would essentially destroy the animation. I think my best bet is to just wait for this to be fixed.

Note that if you want to copy only morphs into blocks, you need to remove all checkmarks from the edge of the morph when creating a block from the time line. In fact, your timeline should be responsible for simple movements, and blocks for morphs (they should work in pairs).

Hey Andrucorax! I'm not sure what you mean when you say "remove all checkmarks from the edge of the morph." Do you mean in the timeline? Or is there a feature in animate 2? I have both checked and unchecked scale, rotation, and translation in my experiments and that doesn't work. Could you perhaps do a step by step for me since I'm not as knowledgeable as many people here are?

Update - I am using Sudio 4.12 Pro using the Highway style format.  Right click on a morph item and check [Edit Mode].  Now right click on the item you want to delete.  Scroll down and press [Delete Slected Property].  And that it is it.  Don't forget to right click on any item in the menu and uncheck [Edit Mode].   

Hi! As title says:
I'm in creating illustrations for fantasy rpg manual and I end discovering the https://www.daz3d.com/fantasy-creature-creator-hd-morph-pack-for-genesis-3-male and https://www.daz3d.com/ly-fantasy-races-hd-faces-and-bodies

This could help my workflow a lot, but both are for G3... and I already bought a lot of morph and stuff for G8... I wonder if https://www.daz3d.com/xtransfer--genesis-3-to-genesis-8-converter or https://www.daz3d.com/character-converter-from-genesis-3-female-to-genesis-8-female work well with this packs, because both have HD morph and at least on Xtransfer says that HD morph don't transfer..
*sorry for bad english*

Puoi convertire i character da G3 a G8 e viceversa

Ho quattri diversi convertitori di char da G1/2/3 a G8... Non funziona, il rig si frantuma ancora di più, le dita si stortano tutte e gli occhi si deformano.

Tuttavia da G2/3/8 a G1 vanno a meraviglia! Il rig rimane intatto, le dita sono dritte e gli occhi, fatta eccezione per un restingimento della pupilla (fixabile con il morph base di G1) sono perfetti.

Parlando d'altro, qualcuno di voi ha provato DAZ Central? Vi siete trovati bene?

I would be interested in a tool that let me realize slow gradual transformations between two exact characters I've created with a single slider.

If I had to transfer 40 G8F morphs on a G8M, and remember which of the current G8M morphs originated from the G8F, and change them slightly for every single step, I don't know if it would be easier and faster than my current workflow.
