mbKingWin, HeadShop DOES NOT INSTALL WITH DAZ INSTALLERS!!! It has its own installer. Please read README document that explains the installation.

The installer has step by step instructions. Key is to select the CORRECT DESTINATION FOLDER to install to. 

The steps outlined to find where your working DAZ Studio is installed are in the manual in Chapter 4: https://printahead.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/HS13-Manual.pdf

If still no luck, pls. send me an email: [email protected]

Update on my installation difficulty Headshop: Predictably the problem was the way I had Daz set up as I had tried to move its location in the past. Lasloves (the author) emailed me the day after I posted to the forums. Unfortunately, the email got caught in a spam folder. He then contacted me on the forums (which prompted me to check my email spam folder). We set up a time to skype. He solved my problem in 8 minutes and 3 seconds including introduction and pleasantries. To say this was great customer service would be an understatement. I am now up, running and completely recommend headshop 13. Also, I feel completely comfortable purchasing anything produced by Abalone LLC. Thank you again! 

I am also having a problem installing HeadShop 13. What I have tried:

• Gone to Help/About Installed plugins" and click on any plugin. Where I read the location where the DAZ 3D/DAZStudio4 folder is installed. Then followed the directions in the YouTube video to manually install.
• Clicked on the Install Manager Ready button on the product page. Then finished in DIM.

After each attempt I restarted DS.

Would you be able to list the process you used to get it working?

Thanks

Had successful skype with Ziv. As expected, his Studio was installed in a non-default way and when he installed HeadShop, he used default destination instead of installing to the actual folder.

How do you find where your DAZ Studio is actually installed?

1. If you have a shortcut, right-click and ask for "Find Location". 

2. If you are in DAZ Studio, go to Help/About Installed plugins" and click on any plugin. You can read the location where the DAZ 3D/DAZStudio4 folder is installed. 

When installing HeadShop, you must browse to this location. Make your "DAZ 3D" folder the destination!

OneClick2021 features a number of breakthrough technologies that cannot be found in other similar programs:

• OneClick2021 now comes with new "Profile" tab and Nose Library
• OneClick2021 can work with photos that feature open smile with teeth showing
• OneClick2021 can take 3/4 head photo, and rotate it back to a full head, even if one side of the photo is obscured
• OneClick2021 can use photos that are only lit on one side and have the other dark or obscured by hair
• OneClick2021 also automatically detects gender
• OneClick2021 uses "Autodots" to automatically find over 50 points in order to automatically shape the 3D head
• Autodots can be used to manually adjust shape in the main work area
• OneClick2021 works with all Genesis figures (Genesis 3 Base and Genesis 8 Base)
• OneClick2021 features 4096 x 4096 textures and improved smoothness
• In addition to a manual OneClick2021 is also delivered with pop-up Teach Panels and how-to video links.

Hello,

I purchased the headShop today. Did everything the video explained. I open DAZ and in the edit menu there is no headShop plugin.

What do I do?

I installed the 2 folderds and double checked that all reqired files are in place.

I have headshop 12. havent upgraded to 13. so far its the most used out of 3 because of easiness and quality output. If you heard of headshot, a plugin from another company thats the closest thing to accurate scan i can think of from photos. headshop from daz is a close second. although you might not get 100 percent similar in the end. there are times the resemlance are pretty close

I followed the directions and manually installed but it is not appearing on the edit drop down. Anyone else had this trouble and found a workaround/solution?

99% of this situation user installed HeadShop to default installation, but has the working DAZ Studio on another location. 

Step 1. Make sure you verify where your working DAZ Styudio is installed.

Step 2. Once verified, install HeadShop TO THIS LOCATION. For example: if your DAZ Studio is installed on d: Apps/DAZ 3D then you enter this as the destination folder at install.

Hi I'm having serious trouble with headshop 13 with lovechild plugin.

The program works fine, it exports the .obj-file and texture content aswell. However, when I open DAZ, load a Genesis 8 Basic Female character, remove eyelashes (I also tried NOT removing the eyelashes) because I read somewhere that the eyelashes sometimes causes problems, and start Morph Loader Pro and find my .obj-file from the Headshop 13 software and try loading the morph - a popup appears saying "Geometry did not match, failed to create morph." I should also mention that I haven't been able to integrate the Headshop plugin into Daz Studio, I am forced to use Headshop as a stand alone program for exporting the .obj-file. I use Windows 10 Pro, Daz Studio 4.15.0.2.

Can anyone help med out?

Thanks

 1. It sounds like you may have missed putting the figure to base resolution. And yes for the G8 figures, no eyelashes.

For the Windows edition, yes when you open D/S, under Edit there should be the option to start Headshop. Check through the provided readme instructions for installation.

Little correction: You do not need to put the Genesis figure in "Base" resolution - the morphs will work also in "High" resolution

Unless they've changed something in the coding from previous editions, no. To make a morph from an .obj import via Morph Loader, one needs to have the receiver at base resolution.

Once the morph is made then certainly one can return the figure to high resolution.

If one makes it all through HeadShop one does not need to change the resolution or remove the eyelashes however I find helping the plugin doesn't hurt anything either ;-)

Please make sure you set DAZ Studio Preferences to "Default" as shown:

I have used Headshop since the beginning days of Faceshop. I have never liked the way the eyes look. Has it fixed the eyes, so they don't appear like holes or just plain off? 

I am also curious if there's other 3D face modelers that are better from pictures, or is Headshop 13 the way to go and worth it?

Worth it? That's rather subjective. We have 3 ways to make likenesses from pictures, each plugin or program has its pros and cons. Face Transfer you already have in D/S so you can discover how much you like or {don't} that one.

FaceGen is the other one which will make morphs and textures for Genesis through to G8. I have been having some fun with that one. If you want to see some examples, in the freebies thread - the one suggesting to be nice, I've shared a few ;-) Accuracy does require mastering where one places the dots. It has an option to "keep the eyes round" which I do use.

HeadShop13 places the dots for us :-) I just leave those dots where it places them. It does a better job than I do. I don't recall it messing up the eyes.

I have seen some information on the 'Net indicating that yes, there are some very decent methods for obtaining "clones" and the costs are well over the heads of most people on this planet. Many thousands of dollars - computers, cameras, wiring, lighting, models {people}, studio space, etc. 

For the money, one can get passable results starting with the available plug-ins and software that can work with D/S using additional morphs [purchased or made] for closer matches. Having the right skins, hairstyles, etc. also go along way to providing the desired of impression of having a recognizable character.

..........

Alternatively, if one can find somebody who has all that equipment - some might be willing to make a clone. I don't know price details save for to expect at least a 3 figure amount

Lets not forget that the best custom mesh you can create will NOT work with Genesis rigging, so you need to recreate all the ellaborate rigging, the poses, etc 

hi. will headshop support 8.1?

i understand its genesis female 8.1 is new, but i can get the free face transfer to work with 8.1. i wonder will headshop support genesis 8.1? so far i only use headshop and face transfer free for cloning. i think headshop is good as it gets but the textures can screw up, so i just reskin with other character mats

All right :-) After HOURS of fighting with HeadShop, got it working again. Somewhere along the line of time some files had gone awol, things happen ... sigh.

Anyways it's now working again so I was able to work on a request ... character has a nose! Yes. Now it's not perfect, far from it, however with some of all those other morph pieces we've been collecting such as morphs for aging, wrinkles, etc. those interested should be able to fashion together something of a character for their fanart.

To separate out my FanArt pieces from the regular morphs, FanArt will be starting with "FA" and in a folder called "FanArt" ... so we can all play by the rules ;-) Fanart is non-commercial use only and my fanart releases also tend to be intended for image renders only.

I've named this one "The Hawk" {if there be any other character by that name, sorry} because to have sight the way such a traveler must, and the way my brows came out figured hawk eyes was a good name BUT I know that name is taken. I also thought of calling him Guess, it's been one of those days.

These are the promos, hair and skin is NOT included. I expect to release the head morph tomorrow.

Hope this doesn't look too bad. {and golly, for ALL the beards in the collection there was one type MISSING ... IF all goes well, that I might make one of}.

{and oh yes, the making of the nose also was helped a little by Hexagon which decided to co-operate. If programs have insight, after seeing the dedication with which I kept deinstalling, reinstalling, plastering all over the place, etc. to get HS working, possibly Hexagon got the message and decided to behave itself lol ...}

You can make morphs of people pretty easily using either Face Transfer [already exists in D/S], Headshop and/or FaceGen. Also having Hexagon available for the bridge is very handy to help in the morph making process.
