I'm sorely tempted to buy her as her skin looks great for an alien lady.

However my only concern is all the promo images almost look like she's had "bodybuilder" morphs applied.

If I've got the G8F Body morphs, should I be able to "dial-down" her "ripped muscles" look a bit?

Hope you report back.  Puppeter is cat's meow! Hope they made the tab layout different so when you have lots of tabs that you don't have to cycle L-R a long time.

Will do, I'm currently doing some rendering though... I'm hoping for an official word on what was added to it.

The pants have a "fit-overblouse" morph (with named morphs for each top in the set). Set it to 100%. the blouse has a "fit-inpants" morph. Set it to 100%. That should get you close (for highly morphed characters you may need to adjust the adjust morphs to get it right.

Thanks! Oh, is the "fit over blouse" setting also be available for the skirt?

"An unexpected helping hand..."

Starring: Chloe and Walther

The tale:

From the other side of the street, Walther saw Chloe stumble and hurt her knees. So he grabbed a fresh bottle of water and a clean cloth and ran to her in order to clean the abrasions on her knees. He has been in love with her for so long, but because she goes to a private school, he doesn't dare speak to her. This is his chance to show that he likes her very very much. "Please tell me in case I hurt you unintendedly" he said without daring to look at her...

"An unexpected helping hand..."

Hopefully this is the right category for this! I'm attempting to export a DAZ3D figure with a certain set of Morphs to be used as "Blendshapes" in Unity. I'm using the "Export Morph Rules" and inputting the morphs I want. They all export just fine and work perfect in Unity. But my problem is, the morphs get exported on the hair, clothes and accessories. I've tried adding a Rule to ignore hair/clothes/accessories, but the morphs get exported anyway.

Is there any way to force the Morphs to export on the figure only?

Thanks for your time!

Thanks. I have to be sure which product to buy.  

I have a Head Propagating Scale dial unfortunately I'm not sure which morph pack it came with; I thought it either came with the base or with the DO Body Morphs set.

This has me more than excited to find out more as I rely heavily on puppeteer! 

Thanks for the advice.  I was wondering if it made a difference in file size if I populated the reindeer in the modelling room?  EG, to create a set of reindeer in various positions that appear as one instance of an object in the scene. That way I can tweak their positions on the required slope in the modelling room.  So I'd have a set for the lower slopes, a set for the higher pitch slope, and a set for the flat area in the riverbed.  Maybe have 5 reindeer in each set?  Does that change the resources used?  I thought an obj was an obj and it has one shader map for each object. Is there is difference from doing that vs just placing individual reindeer around where I want them?

I don't need a big herd... and don't want to make more work for my poor brain.  My hard drive has advised me that it has an error with a big red circle X and warned me to backup. Ugh. I just shut all resource hungry things down and am now just on the net, but will switch over to my chromebook and take this beast back to the shop. I hope they can back up all and transfer when they replace the drive. Don't want to have to reinstall everything.  Ugh.

Cheers again for the help!

any news about cross-gender?

It is a very niche request so we will decide at the time how much work is involved vs viability.

Count me in on that niche, too ;) I have many toon males characters based on G3F I desperately want to carry over to their proper gender. Struggling in vain with transfer tool, porting them not only over but even further to the latest and greatest would be a dream come true.

But first things first, eagerly waiting the initial release.

I wanted to share something I've been working on.

I did see something similar in the first versions of makehuman. A detailed muscular topology such as that, tends to not work fine for heavy characters. That's because the topology defined by heavy fat deposits is completely different from the topology defined by muscles. That also works different as far as body dynamic is concerned, since the slidings and mass movements of a fat body are different.

That's why usually they go with a more generic and less detailed topology for a general morphing figure. So that it is more optimized and covers a more general range of possible shapes. Then displacement maps are used for details instead of geometry, that's a much more flexible way to redesign whatever kind of details are needed on the same figure. So no need of detailed geometry that only works for one kind of topology.

As for the "all bones" rig it may not fit different topologies such as the fat man example above. Different bones may be needed to drive different kinds of bodies. That's why usually they go with a more generic rig for the basic features then use morph helpers for the details. Same principle as for the body geometry.

Also consider that most of the time characters are dressed. So a completely different rig may be needed again depending on the kind of dress they're wearing. And human anatomy may be a small part of it.

That said I do like your work. It may very well fit a specific purpose.

If you need to dial down the HD portion of a morph, an option that should give you more control than just turning down the SubD would be to export the mesh as a Base resolution OBJ, then reimport it as a morph. (Although some times adjusting rigging to shape can be a little finicky, in this case you can copy the rigging across from the HD version).

You can then use different portions of the SD and HD morphs to control the strength of the HD. Alas, it only works on a full model level (there's no being able to turn down just the face HD morph), but it even theoretically lets you turn up the HD past 100%, by dialling in a negative value on the SD morph.

The Harwood house is cool and wishlisted, but with zevo's transfer utility and a few other things I want coming up, I'm trying to nurse my store credit along to next weekend when my credit card resets *g*

Is there a way to save it into a new character? 

If I recall correctly I covered the concept of saving the new morph out to be a general morph for G8 so it could be applied to the figure without needing the FT subscene figure which tends to be rather goofy with the textures. You might find something of interest in the tutorial. Click here for post thread.

Hey guys. After recieving quite the rude comment in regards to my graphics designing skills from an individual who obviously got offended by this image which I also posted on the gallery, I wanted to point something out. As stated in my post above, this happened when I simply tried to load the face transfer that I saved, and I had no idea what happened in the process to get this result. By all means, no, I am not a proffesional graphics artist. I only use DAZ studio and the basic functions to get my renders done. I shared the image out of good fun and humor. Sharing this image was never meant to offend anyone. Anyways, I removed the image from the gallery. If the moderators feel that this image is offensive, feel free to close the thread and remove the image from here as well.

Well, I just received a cease and desist order from SilCorDyne for mentioning their crappy Instant Matter Transporter... considering they won't make that product until 236 years from now (and they only exist in a parallel universe), they really have no sense of humor... well, what do you expect from transdimensional time traveling corporate lawyers... I but l get how you feel... in fact I probably just pissed off a whole bunch of transdimensional time traveling corporate lawyers by portraying them in a negative light in my joke... I'd offer to remove this post, but more than likely there are infinite variations of me in infinite parallel universes that are capable of reposting this, so if my references to transdimensional time traveling corporate lawyers offended anyone, good luck getting all of those versions of me to comply... especially the one with the eye patch and robotic plasma gun arm... I probably pissed off a few cyborgs too now.

Could have a contest for multi-mammary gland toons.

Or we could not and just say we did.  Or say we didn't and leave it at that.

That way you could say, "And may the breast morph win!"

My solution above obviates all attempts at cheesy rejoinders.  So it's worth much more than you paid for it. 

If I had a third breast, I'd be wondering where that dark matter came from.

I'm sure you'd be far more occupied with bad back pain than anything else.

Coming to a forum near you: The Girls of Chernobyl in 3D!

Oh now that's funny right there.

But I'm with the others.  Not on my mind either.  I'm a leg man!

Me too, but this topic was too "ripe" to pass up. I did a V4 with 4 arms as Kali once. I used a big hair prop to hide the armpits. Never been tempted to try this though.

For metaphysics and philosophy, try this one on for size: The universe is the universe. We are just a residue...

Maybe we're a "presidue".
