Why is he not 6 foot 3 inches?

it depends which "he" you are talikng about. Generic Mateo is roughly about the average height of men around the world. Ivan is tall for Americans but would be roughly average in the Czech Republic being over 6 feet tall.  Fortunately, changing a value in the proportion morph can make him whatevcer height you like.

Technically, yes ~~ but rigging and morphing are different techniques, with different workflows.

- Rigging: You need to create custom bones and face groups on the hair as needed. Assign face group to bone(s) and paint weight on the bone(s) that you want to rotate (pose).
- Morphing: you don't have to create any custom bones but just send the hair to external modeling / sculpting softare, e.g. Blender. Make the hair shapes as needed and import them as Morphs onto the hair by using Morph Loader Pro.

So you are trying to select Source Shape? Your screenshots are just showing the dialogue, no active lists, so I am having trouble following. If it is the Source Shape you can always aply it/them to the figure and select Use Current.

So, maybe I'm being confusing. My issue is just that my daz3d "transfer utility dialogue" is not showing the options in the "extended options" section like it used to. The morph I want is already favorited in the parameters but I can't select it in the transfer utility because the favorites tab doesn't appear.

thanks for your patience 

You just unchecked some options but didn't select Morph Targets option, that was why you couldn't see Extended Options...

I've done this a few times and I remember it working. I'm trying to transfer a morph from g8f to g8m. I'm using the transfer utility, but nothing appears in the "extended options" section. I've opened daz3d on 2 different computers, with 2 different versions of the application. I can't see "from source/favorites". I've already pressed the favorite "heart" on the morph I want. Thanks

Oops!  I was wondering if a guy who is half elf and he has twins.  Is is possible for one child to be an elf but the other one is not.  I can't think of a term for a regular person we see everyday.  Like you and me.  (Unless you are actually an elf.)

How many types of elves are there?

How many elf ears does Genesis 9 have without buying too many products?

Q1: Maybe, depend on how the genes assort during meiosis & a few other things. Sorry, my bio degree is 30 odd years old and rustier than my memory.

Q2: Varies, by the fantasy author/artist/game dev you ask & whether they believe Retconning is a legit fiction writing style. If you ask the Tootsie Pop Owl it's "...crunch!!! Three."

Q3: That reminds me...is there an elf ear morph in the starter essentials? Oh, wait, I have a G9 elf character, so I have at least 1.

"Favorites" option is not showing up in the dropdown menu within the Transfer Utility's Extended Options. Version 4.23 and 4.21, same problem.

Edit>Figure>Transfer Utility

Yes, but actually, using Rigidity groups is one the of ways. You can, alternatively, load the equipment into the scene without fitting, then export it to OBJ with Base Resolution. Then import OBJ to the fitted equipment as a Fix morph with Morph Loader Pro. Then dial the morph before export to OBJ again... for fixing the fit in Blender.

Urrrrrggg Complaint: Building a huge indoor Catio from scratch with no time to cook. Hubby ordered a pizza (including tip for $43+)  and got a call center person who was very hard to understand. Gave that person the debit card number and was told no the card did not go thru. After 3 attempts he said maybe card is locked or you have no money. My husband was very frustrated, so I took his phone and said, "Maybe you are entering the card number wrong. So I slowly repeated the info and the guy says, "Are you sure you have enough money in your account. To which I made a rude retort and said transfer me to the local Pizza ***. He said I can do cash delivery and I said no transfer me. I get the local pizza guy (attorneys have lessor gate keepers) and say you guys need to fire the call center dude. He's either dyslexic or on drugs, because after 4 tries he could not get anything right. They tried once and it was approved for 35 without tip (tip to be paid on arrival). As the driver pulls up we get a fraud alert from our bank for the 43+ and click no amount not approved. The bank responds 'card locked contact customer support'. The pizza delivery says we have a cash order for 43+. We say no you should have an order for 35 prepaid and we will pay a cash tip. They drive away with our pizza. We check the bank and see there were 4 charges of 43+ and 3 for 35+. Seven charges for 1 pizza. Called the bank fumed. Obviously the guy was not dyslexic and the bank was the culprit. And to unlock our card they made us confirm every transaction made for April and March. Urrrrgggg x 2. Moral of the story? Cook while building a Catio, or pay cash for for deliveries, don't eat, or set the cats free. Sighs . . . and returns to building Catio Condo.

Quite a tale.   Some people don't deserve their jobs.  Only story I have to compare is a trip to my usual Popeye's in middle of Washington DC during the '90s.  Drove up to the 1st take-out window, ordered a meal, but was advised by the window attendant that if I ordered from the next window(rarely used) and paid cash I could get a couple extra chicken breasts for half the price.  So I did.  Then later (after they were eaten) I thought about it for a while and decided that I should probably advise the restaurant owner that the sketchily behaving people at their windows were probably skimming profits by stealing product and pocketing cash.  So, I did.  Never heard what happened, but was never offered cheap chicken from there again either.

Well, I checked the suit and the accessory, it's not a really simple case. As I said above, you have to use Blender as well to make a morph to fix the fitting on the equipment with rigidity groups.

 

Thank you for having a look. @crosswind 

You know I'm going to ask you- What did you do to fix the equipment?  You would like a Coffee?

Will Jill and the accessories destort and warp if I save as a Subset Scene?

The RE Revelations Equipment Belts destort and warp as well.

Ah... nothing special, still used Grab brush with Sculpt mode in Blender, as I ever showed you in previous video...

There won't be distortion if you save the equipments as whatever wearable preset or subset.

And you can fix other stuff in the same way.

 

I have not used the Grab Brush tool in Blender. Only the welding accessory and Quadmesh for the sexy chair.

Is the grab brush tool used on all parts of the object? @crosswind 

Yup, one Grab Brush can fix almost everything in 98%+ cases... wisely change angle of view, turn on/off Symmetry, as well as sculpt with Mask at the same time.

e.g. 

Is the Accessories export/imported to Blender the same way as the sexy chair?

Are the accessories exported After Posing the character and separately to Blender.

Is the Grab Brush tool used the same way as Mesh Grabber? 

Is Silhouette or Falloff used?

How is the morph fix implemented?

How do I straighten and reattach the breathing pipe?

I had a look at that video. It's very brief in explanation. I'd like to learn how to fix these issues.  Apologies for asking Alot of questions

YES!

I love that it looks like it works with the saddles & armors! 

YES too, but also WHY: Why a sheep which we already have and not finally, FINALLY a GOOOOOOAAAAAAAAT? 

Agreed! My ancient Near East/SW Asia scenes would really benefit from:

• A goat morph for Daz Horse 3 or Daz Horse 2, along the lines of DA’s new sheep, or a unique goat model
• A bull counterpart to Marguerite and Denver (Denver must have a dad, right?)
• And varieties of breeds and markings for all these livestock

So grateful for what exists, so eager to see more varieties of livestock.

Note: I do have and use an old goat morph for the original Daz Sheep, from Philosopher’s Egg, and https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/435747/horse2goat by cathan01_wwg1wga. I have a lot of trouble getting horns to work right on Horse2Goat though, and would love to see an easier-to-use kit.

I've been rendering with Chloe this evening and have decided I'm in the like camp. Her body shapes are possibly even two of my favourite G9 sculpts. I'm loving how clothing hangs on them - very natural looking. I like her face too, although I'm not particularly blown away by the HD details. She looks a bit G8 in the face to me - just lacking something. But a good base shape and takes expressions well.

Possibly the render settings I favour, but I find her skin a lot darker than in the promos. Because of that and her relatively flat facial profile, I'm not 100% getting the yet another Caucasian vibes others have mentioned, but I can understand that perception from the settings used to render the images on the store page, some of which look incredibly Nordic. Yet I'm finding that with a little mixing and dialling that you can get a lot more than that out of her.

Cellulite HD details are fab. As are her knees. I just wish there was a bit more detail work in her HD head morph.

Clothes are fab too. Nothing out of the ordinary style-wise, perhaps, but they look very good in renders. As someone who wishes for more everyday clothes of a good quality, they're a very welcome addition to my runtime.

All in all, an interesting release for me. Not keen on the value offer at full price, but both bundles for $14 with tokens and a voucher - and with every item being pretty much useful to me -  makes her bundles some of my favourite DO releases for a while.

Apologies if already requested - does anyone know who this (ann hathaway esque) morph is?
