I love this new addition, Face Transfer.  I'm can create more models with it.  The only problem I have (mostly, I do have another one) with it is the eyes.  The 'whites of the eyes' are darker and sometimes dotted.  I included two images, one of Daz's Elenora and the other, Shantell, I created using Face Transfer.  Is this a bug with the program and I have to put up with it?  Or is there an solution available?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I have only played with Face Transfer very briefly, but I did notice the eyes issue as well.

It appears to be mapping the Photos eyes over the Models eyes.

I dont know if its a fix but I got better results by going into Surfaces and turning Share Glossy OFF for the the eye surfaces (mositure, scalera, iries, pupils). Then when applying new eye surface materials they didnt have the painted over look. 

Really took me some time to find inspiration for this one.

A final drag before killing Dorothy

Character is V4 with Wicked Witch morph.  The outfits are a kitbash of Fashion V4, My Princess, and the hat from Witch Hunter.  I modeled the cigarette. :)

Processes include Carrara Text and GMIC.  Only one light and an HDRI in the scene, but I left ambient at 20.

The only postwork was adding Ron's Smoke for the cigarette.

PS - with the bright white background of the forum, a dark B/W image is really hard to see.  The contrast freaks out the eyes.  Please click on it to make it bigger and see it easier.

This is Andrea Skin with her painted eyebrows.  Nikolina face morph plus some DAZ Head Morphs to modify the shape of the jaw and the roundness of the face.  She is wearing Sugar and Spike dforce dress (without the spikes).  Jewels are MRL Crystal Collection for Victoria 4 re-textured with Royal Jewels Universal Shaders included with the product.

oh i get it.   have to export the mesh mess as a morph target.  re import it and do the morph correction on that.

^Is there a demo version for Headshop? I've tried the Facegen demo and gotten good results on one character but not on others (the problem is often irregular lighting or less-than-perfect profile/portrait. The Face-Transfer from Daz has similar issues.

I know there's the 30-day return policy at Daz, but I'd rather have a demo, even if it has a watermark in the texture and geometry like Facegen.

In the past 12 years since we started to sell FaceShop/HeadShop, we have never developed a demo with a watermark. We think providing a 30-day window gives the users time to decide if he/she likes the product. As a side note: we just released HeadShop 11 Macintosh and it is on sale at DAZ.

Fair enough - when I've got the money, I'll check it out (and return it with your blessing if I'm not getting the results I expect ;) )

Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions, inlcuding installation at [email protected].

Incidentally, here's a link to the how-to video and the installation video:

Artini, the seam is covered by hair. I agree that we generate better heads than othjer software. Here's the reason: We spent three years addressing a common problem with all photo-to-3DHead software; the issue with finding suitable photos. A quick google search shows that most photos have either the head turned or rotated to one side, or that one side of the head is poorly lighted, or obscured by hair. Also most photos display an open smile, something that most Photo-to-3DHead software have difficulty with (see image below). 

HeadShop 11 (available on WIN or Mac) addresses these problems: it auto-finds over 50 facial points, auto rotates the head to upright. In addition, we implemented auto turn, so that even 3/4 portraits are turned frontal. Our mirror-left and mirror-right buttons copy over good texture to the opposite side of the face where texture is missing or obscured.

Please examples at the gallery: https://www.daz3d.com/gallery/users/150388. The original photos are in the back, the new 3D head in front.

Studio 4.12 has a minimum Nvidia driver requirement. You may need to load a newer version if the driver than you have. It is also possible that you had a usable driver but Windows 10 overwrote it with the Microsoft version.

Surface Pro 4s don't have discrete graphics cards - they're good for CPU rendering only.

Here's my problem, DAZ Studio (4.12) seems to be no longer capable of rendering.
I am using Windows 10 on a Surface Pro 4, which has worked fine up till a few weeks ago.
Now, however, try to render, or on this last occasion, the NVIDIA preview as I was using an HDRI environment, and Studio encounters a fatal error.
I was looking forward to trying out the new face transfer and would rather not go back to a previous version.
I don't particularly wish to go back to using Poser exclusively either.
Is there any way that you can help me with this?

If suggest checking the Daz Studio log file for hints of what went wrong/when. Also, you should make sure that your Surface's firmware is up to date. My Surface Book 2 was having occasional major problems with rendering on the latest version of Windows up until the firmware update released just last week.

I bought DAZ Horse 2 some time ago. Now I'm trying to find a variety of textures/skins, but after searching for info on this, it seems there isn't a separate product for them - I have to purchase the pro bundle to get them...? I hope I'm wrong. The pro bundle is on sale right now, but it's still $70+ and I already own five of the fourteen products in it. Am I missing something? Is it normal for a pro bundle to have content that can't be purchased separately? I don't normally purchase them because they include items I would never use...

I don't know if it will help, but contact Customer Service and point out that you believe Daz needs to update the bundles to turn "DAZ Horse 2 Starter Content" and "DAZ Horse 2 Pro Content" into separate "Hides and Breeds" products like they did for both Centaur 7 and Centaur 8 figures. Mention that as an owner of the Daz Horse 2 figure, you'd be willing to pay for one or both of these products, but it doesn't make sense to you to purchase the pro bundle unless or until the price is inline with what you'd pay for the two "Hides and Breeds" products, if they were available.

Daz is a company, and like any company, they will provide products based on what people want. If customers don't let them know how they feel about such basic content as texture and morph addons being available as products separate from the Pro/Starter bundles, it will never happen. If they don't believe they will make more money by separating the content from the bundles, it won't happen.

And even if customers can convince them, there may be reasons they'll never say that prevent them from doing so, (in spite of the fact variations of those morphs and the body textures are part of the centaur hides and breeds products.) The PA who created those textures is no longer a PA here, which could affect what they can and cannot do with those textures.

Remember, there are far too many threads and posts for Daz to keep track of, so if you want Daz to know what you think or how you feel, about anything, you need to tell them directly via the Contact Us link in the footer below.

And to clarify further I was actually referring to cat coats/textures only in a bundle

as I said that got a bit misinterpreted 

that said the LE cat does not have genitalia but the full one with the breeds does have a boy morph

I have in fact dialed it up once to post in a thread about nudity 

By the way, I have tested the same photo in HeadShop 11 in DS 4.12 and got this on the render below.

It looks like the seams issues are still not fixed, so I am going back to the Face Transfer.

It is a pity, because shape of the mouth looks better, than after Face Transfer.

HeadShop just need to fix that issue and I would use it more often.

Has anyone opened a ticket with feedback on the smushed mouth?  I wonder if DAZ is willing to work with the 3rd party to improve the face generation or create better corrective morphs for the Genesis figure when applying the morph.

I have that same 3rd party product for Unity (creates only head without the body) and the smushed mouth exists in it, too,

so I think Daz could not fix it easily, unless they do their own research and find the solution to the problem.

Thanks Richard, I thought that might be the case. It is too bad that we don't have a version of the Creature Creator morphs for G8. That way I could reduce the body morph a bit and use the creature creator head morphs to get closer to the head that I want.
